HOMM2 riddle
Raymond Bingham
What goes up and down but never moves?
(I thought it was temperature, but the sphinx didn't like that
answer... )
Anyone know?
(the riddles are a real fun touch, I actually got one, but now I cannot
remember what it was... )
Best regards,

This one appears in Might & Magic III as well (see, there is a connection
between the two series :), so I'll assume the answer is the same here.
Think of ways of going up and down ...

I guessed that too... (although technically the sun does move... ;)
and it didn't like that answer either.

I don't know the real answer, but you could try "sun" or "moon" and see
what happens.
Good luck,

I remember this riddle in MM3, and as I recall stairs is the correct answer.
Then again, I could be wrong :-)

If you're really stumped you can always load the map up in the editor
and look at the cell details for the Sphinx. The answer(s) are in the
there.
A couple of people have aready posted the answer to it in this thread
though.

It was stairs... It's amazing how stupid riddles make you feel. :)

Actually it is 'What is time spent poorly?',
All riddles are fairly straight but for
'A dragon, a cyclops,or an undead.
King of the centaurs, his name is ...?'
I did not have the faintest clue, until I found it on the net
