Riddles In The Dark

I enjoy riddles, and as you may guess by the title am a LOTR fan.

Want to try out a riddle thread.
No googling answers! Lol


My first riddle, a LOTR classic:

What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?

Math riddle There ia a 100 pound watermelon laying out in the sun. 99 percent of the watermelons weight is water. After laying out for a few hours 98 percent of the watermelons weight is water. How much has evaporated?

98% Edit: or 98 pounds

Edit, edit: it doesn't say. Lol

 

[Driven2lift]

98% Edit: or 98 pounds Edit, edit: it doesn't say. Lol

Total weight is 100, other numbers were all percents.

Answer wanted is the pounds of water lost

 

[RegisterJr]

Total weight is 100, other numbers were all percents. Answer wanted is the pounds of water lost

Dunno. It doesn't give total weight now. Just that water is 98%.

 

[Driven2lift]

Dunno. It doesn't give total weight now. Just that water is 98%.

The problem can be solved with just those three numbers

White

He said poundage, and my guess is also 1#, but that seems too easy.

I was a bit confused because the original question said, "how much evaporated". Hence my guess. It does seem to easy

It wants pounds.

Typically people guess 1 pound, but that is wrong.
