Selina blinks and nods her thanks to Elphaba.  "A riddle.  And of course a challenge would bear a punishment for an incorrect answer.  I do wonder if the riddle's parameters start with some form of action in relation to the gate, or whether or not the answer must be in the same language."

"I'm not sure," Elphaba replies. "The inscription doesn't say anything about needing to answer in a particular language.  Perhaps the riddle itself will hint at the way we're supposed to reply.  I believe when we're ready, we are to tell the door we're ready for the riddle."
