Technically no. It's been easily a decade since I read The Hobbit, so if it's in there, I don't remember.

I didn't understand because you didn't say they knew what fruits could be in the box. I figured for example there could actually be a banana, orange, apple, and lemon in the boxes and someone guess a banana, orange, apple, and kiwi and therefore only guessed 3 correctly.

The only difference between the "cut in half method" and fuzzy_smurf's "grind them up method" is the end state of the pills, assuming the powders are evenly mixed this method is valid. I prefer the cut in half solution myself but fuzzy_smurf's solution is still correct.

Well, I suppose that works in theory, but having equal amounts of powder just seems less practical than slicing them into two pieces. Obviously neither one could yield a perfectly even split, but in a life-or-death situation, it just seems too risky to grind them up.

I agree, the cut in half method is much simpler/safer. The whole point of a riddle is to think creatively within the confines of the rules established by the riddle, so I wanted fuzzy to know that his more complex solution was still valid.

Note on the first one I footnoted it wasn't entirely mine.
I was trying to remember a riddle from a TV show call "Are You Afraid of the Dark." When I was doing this I didn't have the luxury of the internet at my disposal. However here is the original
"What is lighter than air, can be seen by the naked eye, and if put in a barrel, will make the barrel lighter?"
and source: http://ayaotd.webs.com/drvinksardo.htm
Now the rest of the riddles are my own creation.

That can't be right. It's a contradiction.

If you interpret the question normally, then the answer to the question would also have to not be the answer. It's a contradiction and no answer would work, so you need to interpret the question a little differently. For it to work, you need to read the question as: (Is it true that) 'What' is not the answer to this riddle? Once you read it like that, you realize that it's a yes-or-no question and the correct answer should be in the affirmative. "Yes" or "Correct." or something like that.

The problem is punctuation. The sentence in it's current format should be "What is not the answer to this riddle." - no question mark. Then without the question mark, it ceases to be a riddle.
