Nothing. The ring didn't seem to respond to commands. I rephrased as a wish. I wish I knew the answers to these problems. Suddenly, crystalline certainties formed in my mind for each of the questions. I quickly filled them in, although I made a note that it would be better to actually understand the problems rather than just know the answer.
But this raised another question, which is could I use the ring to learn things about the ring itself. One obvious question was about the old woman. Who was she, and why was she giving away awesomely powerful magic rings? For a second, I thought of the evil magic ring in the Lord of the Rings, and a chill ran down my spine.
Very well. I wished that I knew the identity of the old woman.
