Hey everybody I hope you find this riddle sufficiently stimulating,

I cannot speak, but people hear me,

I cannot be touched, but people feel me,

I cannot be known, but people know me,

I am the greatest of tools, the most elusive of prey.

What am I?


P.S. I'll post a confirmation if someone guesses it but until then... have fun folks :)

Oh just a side note, I won't be making denial posts to every guess,

so if I don't answer yes, it's wrong.

and Emporius I'm not saying yes :p

Yes, but it could therefore be anything and dependant upon psychological interpretation.

Ignoring logic, something like 'god' or 'jesus' seems a likely option.

I'm onto your game, Riddler. As usual you've laid the clues to your next nefarious scheme within the construct of the riddle, rather than in the answer to the riddle itself.

The immediate clue was in the way your phrased the puzzle--unrefined, ungrammatical, and primative, indicating a lower-than-average intelligence. Subhuman, one could say; animalistic.

Following that train of thought I realized that the themes in each line of your riddle corresponds to a verse in the songs of the George Orwell book "Animal Farm":

"Two legs" is the term the animals use to refer to the humans who run the farm. Snowball sings about "two legs bad" in the song, "Four legs good." This also corresponds to your line, "is man."

The other two themes in your puzzle are strength and growth; "is grow," "is strong." In "This isn't what we wanted," there is a line: "You must be strong to grow Animalism."

Of his inspiration for the book, Orwell was once quoted as saying, "It struck me that if only such animals became aware of their strength we would have no power over them, and that men exploit animals." You've always had a complex about being exploited by those your ego feels are beneath you, Nygma; have you finally decided to enact your revenge on an entire society because you feel superior to them? Because you feel you can do a better job because of your intellect, your 'strength?' Instigating a complete social revolt is beyond even your abilities, Riddler; I have no doubt your upheaval would fail on its own, but I'll stop you long before you get the chance to try!
 
Try this one:

"There are three words in the English language that end in GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for. If you listened carefully, I already told you what the word is."



And this one:

What row of numbers comes next?
This is a tough one!
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

53 bicycles and a smoking gun lay on a table. What happened?


Traditionally it's meant to be solved by answering yes or no questions, but you guys could probably get it without hints.
