Riddle

[spoiler=@tramadol: My Guess][quote=tramadol]No, sorry...."In some places in the world, I walk upside down on my head."[/quote] I thought it could be a tenuous link to water clinging to ceilings of caves... It was a long-shot, I know :)[/spoiler] P.S. @Matty & Tramadol: Thanks for the spoiler help :)

I dont know how to do a spoiler thing but I will guess at sand/silicon

Or time

No, neither make much sense. These riddles are too hard lol! I long for the return of the days when 1+1= window

[spoiler=Virtuosity98]The description of the riddle is accurate and there will be nothing really tenuous, but what I leave out is more important than what I put in, although I have deliberately tried to imply certain things by using non descriptive facts to make your mind follow the wrong path, but where I state something specific like "In some places in the world, I walk upside down on my head", this is not only true but there is a very specific clue here, you have to think of something that fits all the criteria.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Sygmassacre]It's not sand, silicon or time. For clues, look at what others have answered and what my replies have been. [b]Edit Matty[/b]: @syg, type "[ spoiler = text ] blah [ / spoiler ]", but then without spaces[/spoiler] The Riddle again as a refresher: You can find me in wood and sometimes minerals. In some places in the world, I walk upside down on my head. I have many shapes and sizes and can be found in abundance. I can withstand extreme pressure & temperature and have no eyes. In one of my forms, I can be seen to scratch at substances to wear them away, but not consume them. What am I?

@Sygmassacre: To create your spoiler: 1. Type your text e.g. "The answer is chocolate" (it's not, by the way :P) 2. Highlight it 3. Click the button above the text box that looks like a golden shield 4. Your spoiler should have been created! To give your spoiler a name, look at tramadol's post above ^ (post #125).

So guesses or does this one need more clues?

[spoiler]nails?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Carbon again? :P Graphite/diamond...[/spoiler]

[spoiler]tree?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Graphite - as in a pencil? I walk upside down on my head - rubbing out with a pencil? Scratch at substances - drawing?[/spoiler]

yes please more clues. [spoiler]besides that its in a lot more places than just wood ;)[/spoiler] Also, is it physical or abstract? (I suspect physical), so please an additional clue as well.

maafi has it. I don't know if you want me to put the answer here or hide it so I'll hide it in case others want to prove their worth. @ Virtuosity98, that was a really good guess and very clever, but not the answer. When you see the answer you should be able to make the connection to all the descriptions of the riddle. You can find me in wood and sometimes minerals. In some places in the world, I walk upside down on my head. I have many shapes and sizes and can be found in abundance. I can withstand extreme pressure & temperature and have no eyes. In one of my forms, I can be seen to scratch at substances to wear them away, but not consume them. What am I? [spoiler=answer]nails[/spoiler]
