Do you have a puzzle needing to be solved, but can't figure it out on your own? Post it here! Also, I will (try and) post weekly a puzzle for you to solve. Here's the first one.
DIFFICULTY: EASY
It's around long enough to never get old.
This stuff's not bronze, but it is not gold!

Just to let you all know. I'm beginning work on a FLASH game called: Time Prison 1
The game basically takes place in the future...
You are Alex Borchov, a great scientist who works in Chronology. One day, your studies are suddenly halted by the fact you wake up in a room that is not yours and a message that tells you that you are under the threat of Chrono-termination and the Time Prison that you are in is the only thing that can protect you. Further information reveals the culprit may be in the lab with you.
It's up to you to solve the puzzles, crack the codes, and stop the culprit from finishing you off.
Can you handle the challenge?

Hmm... well, for the puzzle, my first guess would be silver. But I don't know... stainless steel is around long enough to never get old too... and silver does become tarnished and "old"... oh well. I'll still go with silver, even if it's wrong.

Hmm... Interesting puzzle. Could it be window? I think so.
On your screen: A window, like the one that contains this message board right now. Or in a more real sense, the screen that is with a window.
round at sea: portholes are round.
stained by faith: of the stained-glassed variety
shopped for free: window-shopping is usually considered free.
I win. Send your praises later.

As for the first riddle, I feel the answer is Brass. It looks much like bronze and gold so it could be mistaken for them. Also, the mention of Bronze implies an alloy answer. It is referred to as a "stuff" implying that it is not an intangible noun like "a good joke." However, if we look at the modern, artificial heirarchy of metals, then, yes, silver lies between gold and bronze. At one time, aluminum was the most valuable metal in the world and it almost never tarnishes. And then there's iron pyrite, a.k.a. fool's gold. As a type of stone, it never rusts and it looks just like the golden-hued metals previously mentioned. The riddle is too open.

The answer for the first puzzle was: Silver
The second line was a hint. If you think about olympic medals, the medals are: Gold, Silver, and bronze. But I guess it was too open, so I'll work on another one and post it soon.

New Puzzle! Try this one on for size:
Wallace had walked up to atrus and noticed he had on a very nice bit of bear fur.
"Wow, how did you get that fur?" Wallace asked.
"It was an amazing tale! I had left my position and walked 1 mile south following the bear's trail. Then I noticed he had turned east, once again I followed for one mile, and there I finally got him with my bow. After I was done I returned to my camp, which was a mile north of my position."
Your job, dear reader:
What color was the bear?
