Okay...Try this one people - its hard until you know the answer - I'm open to questions
The person who makes me has no need for me The person who buys me doesn't use me The person who is using me doesn't know What am I?

TRIFORCE OF UNWISDOM
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

This one is rather ridiculous.

A palindrome for left and right. For the upisde down I think its narrowed down to noon, though it would have to be in caps. NOON.
You have 24 marbles. Only one marble wighs different from he rest. You have a balance scale. You nmay use it three times. Identify the different marbe. Go!

Does adding to the pile count as a use? If not, put one on, check its weight, then keep adding until there is a different multiplier to the weight - that's your marble. Can't be bothered figuring it out otherwise now. Perhaps tomorrow

I think i can work it it out if it is heavier or lighter, but I'd need to know before hand otherwise more goes are needed...I think here is the trick for (I'll choose heavy):
split into 3 groups of eight. weigh one and the odd one out is easily found cos if the two equal weights are used there will be balance, otherwise the heavier group will tip the scales and the group is found.
2nd weigh. split the heavy group into 3-3-2 and weigh the 3's same rules apply and the odd one out is easily found
3rd weigh same rules again.
If weight difference is unknown then an extra weighing at the beiginning will determine whether the odd ball is heavier or lighter.
Nice one Cause.
Here's mine I found this a while ago and its tricksy:
Harry went out to dinner with his friends Larry, Barry, and Gary. Harry sat across from Gary. At Gary's right, opposite Barry, sat Larry. When the waiter came for their orders, Larry and Barry ordered steak. Gary chose fish, and Harry (who likes to be difficult) ordered like this: "Unless the man at the left of the man opposite the man who ordered fish is not having what the man across from the man at the right of the man at my left is having, then I'll have what the man across from the man at the right of the man opposite me ordered. Otherwise, bring me the fettucine alfredo." Assuming "right" and "left" is from the viewpoint of the diners, what did Harry order?

If I got all lefts and rights correctly Harry wants Steak. But Illy's answer seems more true based on reality, so he can give the next riddle if it's correct 
Also, could someone say:
1) If Frook's answer to Mappo's riddle is correct? (I guess it is, since I would've done it the same way, but then I though that his weigh 1 is actually already 2 weighing times)
2) Whether Beru's answer of Illuminati etc is supposed to make sense as an answer to Mappo's older riddle?
