It's easy to be a smart arse classic when you have the answers.

Most of which was trying to explain the answer.

Could anyone remember what the question was let alone the answer?

Most had moved onto the one set for me, as revenge.

I've got my idea written down for the warden and prisoner one at work. I'll post it tomorrow.

Trees
Ten little trees stand in a row
None are from seeds, in darkness they grow.
Ten more standing near, all in a cave.
Precious to all, these trees we can save.
Twenty young trees, deciduous leaves.
When one dies someone cries. When all die no one grieves.
Twenty young trees, none sown by hand,
From no seed did they spring, yet all planted by man.

A Riddle
Long I've roamed a course unerring
Never seeing where I go
Where I've been nobody visits
But everyone has been there, though
I can't be stopped, deterred or severed
And can't be seen but for an aid
I'll kill you all without attrition
But without me there's nothing made
Threescore bits you might control me
'Tis but illusion, I can't be held
Though monks and scholars might ingore me
I reappear when they sound their bell
If recalled, you might describe me
but never twice your words the same
Think on me as I slip by thee
Deliver now. What is my name?
