1. Flavorlessness.
2. Paramour.
3. Past changes?

Edited to change the first comma to a colon and to change clue 1 from "Flavorless" to "Flavorlessness".

Because of the responses, curiosity got the better of me and I opened Andrew's post...

It would make perfect sense to you folks if you had unmeasurable IQs...

"Water, the Madame de Pompadour of the" thinks I, but then the "past changes". Everyone knows you can't change the past.

Close, but no cigar.

'Past changes' can be a reference to changes that have taken place in the past.

Too bad you're not reading my posts. You're missing out on some fantastic insightful stuff that would enlighten the shit out of you.

It is, of course, a riddle. One does not need an immeasurable IQ to solve it. One does not even need an IQ high enough to make measurement unreliable to solve it.

On the other hand, no one to whom I have yet presented it has solved it on the first round of clues.

It's a game for anyone who chooses to participate. The winner gets to pose the next riddle in the same essential format: a statement with numbered blanks and a numbered clue -- and, later, more numbered clues -- for each numbered blank.

Lamentably, Sue U's answer does not correspond with the clues. It is otherwise brilliant.

(1) Silence: the (2) __________ of the (3) __________.

Congrats to MajGenl.Meade, the first person to fill in one of the blanks correctly.

And I forgot to mention before, once a blank is filled in correctly, it becomes public knowledge.

Dunno... First thing that sprang to mind. Actually, 2.) would more likely be 'virtue'.
