Gollum asks Bilbo multiple riddles in The Hobbit. Here are all of those he asks, with their answers.

What has roots as nobody sees,

Is taller than trees,

Up, up it goes,

And yet never grows?

Answer: Mountains

Voiceless it cries,

Wingless flutters,

Toothless bites,

Mouthless mutters.

Answer: Wind

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,

Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.

It lies behind stars and under hills,

And empty holes it fills.

It comes first and follows after,

Ends life, kills laughter.

Answer: Dark

Alive without breath,

As cold as death.

Never thirsty, ever drinking,

All in mail, never clinking.

Answer: Fish

This thing all things devours:

Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;

Gnaws iron, bites steel,

Grinds hard stones to meal;

Slays king, ruins town,

And beats high mountain down.

Answer: Time

Bilbo also asks Gollum several different riddles.
