Riddle No. 113

#1

Post: # 26481Post Carl »

In my physical manifestation, my figure is of a neutral hue.
As a calculation, one of me is almost certainly less than half of you.

On your face, I am motionless and mute.
To describe the cold, I am complete and absolute.

Of proximity, I am always of a close pitch.
For punishment, I taunt you even after I've put you in your ditch.

What am I ?


Answer will be provided next Thursday evening after 21:00.

ANSWER

A stone.

As a measurement of weight, a stone is equal to 14 pounds, or about 6.35 grams.

In phrase, something might be described as "stone-faced", "stone cold", or only a "stone's throw" away.

A public stoning, which is already a cruel way to die, might seem even more imprudent when you consider its victims are laid to rest underneath a headSTONE.
