Caesar? MacDuff?

[vexx32]

None of the above.

[JebNeedsHelp]

I do remember this one, so I'll pass on revealing the answer for now.

[Starwhip]

'Tis a knife/sword, right?

You forge it out of ore, that came from the earth, and it becomes a weapon.

(I swear, I didn't look it up.)

[vexx32]

Yeah. A blade/iron/iron ore; all of them fit, really. You may as well go next, before I dredge up the energy to make one anew.

[Starwhip]

Rainbow fields on a mechanical plane,

Once it is used it is never the same.

Bending most minds in twists and in spins,

Passing the hours, floating one along on a feeble whim.

Behold, however, the secret within,

There is a way, a hidden path, with which one may win.

Extract the secrets, ones of patterns, some with form,

And soon will the clock be your fascinating norm.

And we go down the hole again.

[Ikaneko]

Hmmm...

A kaleidoscope?

(I don't know)

[Deadpangod3]

a hallucination?

mind control?

an AI?

[cantab]

The shortcut on Rainbow Road in Mario Kart 64?

[Starwhip]

No to all so far.

(And hey I've got 2 rep blobs! )

[cantab]

fractals? the Mandlebrot set?

[Starwhip]

Nope.

What is the Mandlebrot set?

[Sun]

Nope.

What is the Mandlebrot set?

Congrats on 1,000 posts

[vexx32]

The Mandelbrot Set is one of the more famous (and pretty) fractals.

I was actually gonna guess Rainbow Road from Mario Kart, too, actually, but that seems to be a no go.

Posted again.

(It does seem like it could be the Mariokart Rainbow Road level, doesn't it? )

But that's not what I was looking for. Try again.

So far I know of 1 other person (in person, not online) who has gotten it, but both him and I share a common ideal which would relate to this riddle.

[cantab]

A oujia board?

[Starwhip]

Um... no.

Think puzzles or games.

[Sun]

Candy land?

[cantab]

Oh god, Rubik's Cube. I've got one sitting on the bookcase just taunting me.

[Starwhip]

Oh god, Rubik's Cube. I've got one sitting on the bookcase just taunting me.

And-a bingo!

They do, don't they

[Red Iron Crown]

Is it a Lite-Brite?

Edit: Herpy derp, I missed the correct answer.

[Ikaneko]

Well, you gonna post a riddle?

[cantab]

Filling a hole to take a screw,

Making models, along with glue,

Moving around for puzzles galore,

Or just on hand for keeping score,

None of these are my true purpose,

Once I do that I'm only rubbish.

[kStrout]

Wood. maybe Balsa?

[Starwhip]

Wood. maybe Balsa?

Sounds like you've got it.
