controversial opinion but "what's in my pocket?" was a bullshit question and Gollum was fully within his rights to cave in Bilbo's skull with a rock

"Ask me any riddle, and if I can't answer it then you win my magic ring." "What's your social security number?"

He realized it too! BUT Gollum accepted the question by guessing. Once he did that, It is an unchallenged word in Scrabble.

If that was a riddle, then all interrogatives are riddles. Without rules restricting the game, the game - and thus, life - has no meaning. Nasty tricksy hobbitses.

Not controversial that it was not a riddle But Gollum accepted it so he should deal with that

ring's evil but hobbits are hard work to break; turning him immediately into a cheat and a liar was the best it could do

100%. Bilbo absolutely cheated and bullshitted the last riddle. Gollum won that contest fair and square

The riddle game was initiated under duress, making the contract null and void.

Gollum's "beat me at riddles or I eat you" is his inner Hobbitling, remembering childhood games, in conflict with with his adult beast. Bilbo's cheating shows how the Ring has already corrupted him. That they both even play shows their fraternal Hobbitiness which ends in their joint redemption.
