Off to bed now, but as an extra riddle why did I pick the number 131 as the last number? There's a significance to riddles and Tolkien's work we all love...

I can be touched, but I hurt those that do,
I move swiftly through forests, but die on stone,
Where passing I leave a black shroud in my wake.

The answer is Fire.

66 please

I am the black child of a white father,
A wingless bird, flying to the clouds above,
I give birth to tears of mourning, in those that meet me,
And at once on my birth, I am dissolved into air.

My answer is smoke. ?

Correct.

111 please (no one's had a certain important birthday yet right?)

37

Has four legs and a foot,
But cannot walk,
Has four legs and a head,
But cannot talk.

First thought TABLE

and isn't 131 the final birthday that Bilbo reached?

A bed?

Good catch, Dunheved!

Without knowing the riddle attached to number 131, I'll venture two possible answers:

"The Sea"

or

"West".

That's correct, yes.
