I’m not the only one whose brain went in this direction for a second, right?

Though to go on another tangent for a second, I’ve personally got nothing but disdain for riddles. Maybe it’s a flaw in my brain, maybe I’ve never had the satisfaction of solving a really good one, but riddles as clues / hints / puzzles have never brought any table of mine much fun and can go straight into the bin as far as I’m concerned.

Applejack: So we hafta solve a riddle, huh? Ya know, if he has control of them and he can teleport them anywhere, we can’t expect Discord’ll just hand ‘em over. This ain’t about findin’ the Elements right now. It’s just “where does Discord’s wild ride begin.” So, any ideas?
Fluttershy: Um… Somewhere nearby, so he doesn’t have to wait too long?
Twilight Sparkle: “Twists and turns”… “back where you began”… <GASP!> I got it!
DM: No surprise there. It’s not like you have shown a demonstrable knack for guessing my plot points or anything…
Twilight Sparkle: I bet Discord hid the Elements at the ruins in the Everfree Forest!
DM: Ah– Hmmmmm.
Applejack: Look on the DM’s face says otherwise, Twi.
