Time to Settle Down!












9












$begingroup$


Lots of puzzles on this site take some time to solve. Nothing wrong with that, but I'll try to introduce a short puzzle every now and then :)




Gold is my meal;
Silver, I free;
My colour reveals
How my converse did be.




What am I?




Apart from the hint in the title...



Hint 1:




The light I close
Must break for all;
The unseen grows
Amidst my fall.





Edit:



I changed the word counter to converse because I did not know "counter" could mean "timer" (silly me!). Sorry about that! I put this edit here in case users were working on the version of this riddle that included the former word.

          Doubtful answer



          So the answer seems obvious except that there's one couplet I can't make sense of. I think you are




          night.




          Gold is my meal;




          The golden sun, as it sets.




          Silver, I free;




          The silvery moon, becoming visible at night.




          My colour reveals

          How my converse did be.




          This is the bit I can't make sense of. Perhaps the colour is (say) "midnight blue", which is blue just as the daytime sky is, or something. That doesn't feel like the answer, though.




          Title: Time to settle down




          Bedtime.




          Hint:



          The light I close

          Must break for all;




          Daylight shines pretty much everywhere, at one time or another.




          The unseen grows

          Amidst my fall.




          As night falls, the shadows lengthen and everything becomes harder to see.

            You are so close! Your answer would have been correct if it was not for that couplet you can't make full sense of. In fact, you are that close, the answer is literally in this answer! Keep trying! :D

          Thanks to the explication of @Gareth McCaughan♦ :




          The dusk




          Gold is my meal




          The colour of the sun during the dusk




          Silver, I free




          During the dusk, the moon appears, silver referred to its colour




          My colour reveals

          How my converse did be.

          (thanks to
          @jafe)




          It's about the dawn (opposite of the dusk), the colour of the sky are the same when the sun rises or sets.

            Oh no... you have defined the word "counter" in a way I have never used! I always used "timer". By "counter" I meant "opposite". I am so sorry for the confusion. I will upvote though, for your attempt... but I must inform you that this is not the answer and I will edit the riddle accordingly. I always thought that "counter" meant "opposite" (e.g. "counter-clockwise", "counter-argument"). You made a nice try, putting this aside!

          Reading everyone's interactions and comparing them with the original riddle, I've come to the conclusion that




          It's night or light or sunlight




          Although it doesn't consume golden anything or free silver anything, as that makes no sense scientifically. It also has no hue without a target reflective surface.



          It could also be




          The sun, moon, or earth




          Although, again, none of them are consuming or freeing gold or silver anything.



          It cannot be




          Time itself




          Because, and I keep saying this, it doesn't consume anything and is a concept.



          Also the line "How my converse did be" doesn't sound like proper English and perturbs me.

            Welcome to the Puzzling Stack Exchange (PSE)! Glad you posted your first answer! (Ensure to check out the tour!) First of all, the sentence does make sense, verified by Grammarly itself, with the exception that it would be better to replace the word "be" with "exist" (but they mean the exact same thing). Regarding your conclusion, this is unfortunately not the intended answer, though very close; the intended answer does make more sense, so there is reason to back up that it fits better as an answer than this. Nice try for a first answer, but! :)

            The first celestial object mentioned in your answer is the closest to being linked with the intended answer. There is a reference of this in the riddle (which I'm sure you'll find), so that should lead you on the right path. Also, for the benefit of writing an acceptable answer here on this site, try sticking to just one or two answers; it might require more time, but your edits appear like you are trying things out and hoping for the best. I will thus add a hint: copy-and-paste the following "random" text in Rot13: Gvzr gb FRGgyr QBJA!

          I suspect the word you're looking for is




          Sunset




          The title:




          Time to settle down. Odd-numbered syllables reference various aspects of a sunset: it's a time of day, "set" is obviously part of the word, and it's when (from a terrestrial point of view) the sun appears to be traveling "down".




          Gold is my meal;




          As the sun descends, it appears to be "swallowed" by the horizon; loads of myths in various cultures are inspired by this imagery.




          Silver, I free;




          As the sun's light fades, it gets easier to see the moon and stars, which take on a silver color.




          My colour reveals /
          How my converse did be.




          The opposite of a sunset is a sunrise, but they're both associated with the same bright-orange color. Crayola seems pretty opinionated about which colors are "sunset orange" and which are "Florida sunrise", but otherwise it's pretty much the same. Perhaps the intent behind this clue is that, in most parts of the world, the parts of the sky that appear darkest at this time of day are exactly those that will be brightest when the sun rises again. (Or maybe they just both have "sun" in their name.)

            Yeah, this is correct, but the interpretation of the last clue is incorrect. I think that part was the hardest, but I have a comment under @Narlore's post describing what I meant by the clue in Rot13, if you want to see that. Again, the rest of your answer is correct, though, so well done on that! But, as you said, it is largely the same as Narlore's answer, so I won't be giving that user's answer the tick as opposed to yours, unfortunately. Sorry about that! At least you made a great attempt! :)

            You are so close! Your answer would have been correct if it was not for that couplet you can't make full sense of. In fact, you are that close, the answer is literally in this answer! Keep trying! :D

            The night is dark, the converse is light, breaking light through a prism gives you a rainbow, which are the colors

          Doubtful answer



          So the answer seems obvious except that there's one couplet I can't make sense of. I think you are




          night.




          Gold is my meal;




          The golden sun, as it sets.




          Silver, I free;




          The silvery moon, becoming visible at night.




          My colour reveals

          How my converse did be.




          This is the bit I can't make sense of. Perhaps the colour is (say) "midnight blue", which is blue just as the daytime sky is, or something. That doesn't feel like the answer, though.

          Thanks to the explication of @Gareth McCaughan♦ :




          The dusk




          Gold is my meal




          The colour of the sun during the dusk




          Silver, I free




          During the dusk, the moon appears, silver referred to its colour




          My colour reveals

          How my converse did be.

          (thanks to

          It's about the dawn (opposite of the dusk), the colour of the sky are the same when the sun rises or sets.

          The last part of your answer is unfortunately not interpreted correctly, but does make sense! (However, if you interpret it as intended, I think it will make more sense, though your answer is still great — and predominantly correct!)

            Oh no... you have defined the word "counter" in a way I have never used! I always used "timer". By "counter" I meant "opposite". I am so sorry for the confusion. I will upvote though, for your attempt... but I must inform you that this is not the answer and I will edit the riddle accordingly. I always thought that "counter" meant "opposite" (e.g. "counter-clockwise", "counter-argument"). You made a nice try, putting this aside!

          Reading everyone's interactions and comparing them with the original riddle, I've come to the conclusion that




          It's night or light or sunlight




          Although it doesn't consume golden anything or free silver anything, as that makes no sense scientifically. It also has no hue without a target reflective surface.



          It could also be




          The sun, moon, or earth




          Although, again, none of them are consuming or freeing gold or silver anything.



          It cannot be




          Time itself




          Because, and I keep saying this, it doesn't consume anything and is a concept.



          Also the line "How my converse did be" doesn't sound like proper English and perturbs me.

            Welcome to the Puzzling Stack Exchange (PSE)! Glad you posted your first answer! (Ensure to check out the tour!) First of all, the sentence does make sense, verified by Grammarly itself, with the exception that it would be better to replace the word "be" with "exist" (but they mean the exact same thing). Regarding your conclusion, this is unfortunately not the intended answer, though very close; the intended answer does make more sense, so there is reason to back up that it fits better as an answer than this. Nice try for a first answer, but! :)

            The first celestial object mentioned in your answer is the closest to being linked with the intended answer. There is a reference of this in the riddle (which I'm sure you'll find), so that should lead you on the right path. Also, for the benefit of writing an acceptable answer here on this site, try sticking to just one or two answers; it might require more time, but your edits appear like you are trying things out and hoping for the best. I will thus add a hint: copy-and-paste the following "random" text in Rot13: Gvzr gb FRGgyr QBJA!

            Welcome to the Puzzling Stack Exchange (PSE)! Glad you posted your first answer! (Ensure to check out the tour!) First of all, the sentence does make sense, verified by Grammarly itself, with the exception that it would be better to replace the word "be" with "exist" (but they mean the exact same thing). Regarding your conclusion, this is unfortunately not the intended answer, though very close; the intended answer does make more sense, so there is reason to back up that it fits better as an answer than this. Nice try for a first answer, but! :)

            The first celestial object mentioned in your answer is the closest to being linked with the intended answer. There is a reference of this in the riddle (which I'm sure you'll find), so that should lead you on the right path. Also, for the benefit of writing an acceptable answer here on this site, try sticking to just one or two answers; it might require more time, but your edits appear like you are trying things out and hoping for the best. I will thus add a hint: copy-and-paste the following "random" text in Rot13: Gvzr gb FRGgyr QBJA!

          I suspect the word you're looking for is




          Sunset




          The title:




          Time to settle down. Odd-numbered syllables reference various aspects of a sunset: it's a time of day, "set" is obviously part of the word, and it's when (from a terrestrial point of view) the sun appears to be traveling "down".




          Gold is my meal;




          As the sun descends, it appears to be "swallowed" by the horizon; loads of myths in various cultures are inspired by this imagery.




          Silver, I free;




          As the sun's light fades, it gets easier to see the moon and stars, which take on a silver color.




          My colour reveals /
          How my converse did be.




          The opposite of a sunset is a sunrise, but they're both associated with the same bright-orange color. Crayola seems pretty opinionated about which colors are "sunset orange" and which are "Florida sunrise", but otherwise it's pretty much the same. Perhaps the intent behind this clue is that, in most parts of the world, the parts of the sky that appear darkest at this time of day are exactly those that will be brightest when the sun rises again. (Or maybe they just both have "sun" in their name.)

            Yeah, this is correct, but the interpretation of the last clue is incorrect. I think that part was the hardest, but I have a comment under @Narlore's post describing what I meant by the clue in Rot13, if you want to see that. Again, the rest of your answer is correct, though, so well done on that! But, as you said, it is largely the same as Narlore's answer, so I won't be giving that user's answer the tick as opposed to yours, unfortunately. Sorry about that! At least you made a great attempt! :)
