Riddle me this:

Whoever has it, makes it not,

whoever asks for it, gets it,

and whoever has it must give it away.

Tho it be divided, it is not dimished.

 

What is it?

Knowledge

I need to clarify the ongoing riddle as I have answered wrong guesses with new riddles. It is all one riddle & now I have given four additional hints. I have below the original riddle & the new congruent hints. Rather than continue adding new hints for each wrong response, I will only post a response if the riddle is correctly answered. If you don't post a response, how will I know if it's right or not.

Enjoy!:naughty:

What is it?

Hint #1:

It isn't knowledge,

that it be,

& of its character,

there be three.

 

Hint #2:

Space it is not,

but space it may be,

it is in space,

& it is in thee.

 

Hint #3:

Time it is not,

but time does it need,

time is in it,

like the core of a seed.

 

Hint #4:

 

A clock it is not,

but a clock it does tell,

& if you don't see,

look hard & look well.

it's free

anyone can get it

it's not dimished

Yes Goku, but you have rephrased the three characters.

 

you said "it's free"

the law says "the truth"

you said "any one can get it"

the law says "the whole truth"

you said "it's not dimenishised"

the law says "and nothing but the truth"

 

Great team work guys. Infy, tighten a nut on your racer for me, & Goku, milk one of them cows for me.:Glasses:
