The shape of my form will waver and bend,
From the things I'm destroying and the things I will rend.
My colour will vary from bright red and blue.
The power I'm using will dictate my hue.

Yeah a hole is the answer. Roxanne got it. Sorry it took so long for me to realize it.

This one's more of a brain-teaser puzzle than a classic riddle:

You must use a gold chain to pay a worker for seven days of service.
The chain has seven links on it, and you agree on a price of one link per day.

However, the worker will not work without getting the day's pay up front,
and you do not wish to give him more than his due for the fear that he will
take it and leave. Therefore, you realised that you must cut some of the links on the chain.

What is the smallest number of links you will need to cut, so that you can
make sure that the worker receives one link for every day that he works, but not more?

Always trust your first instinct, hockeygod! 1 is correct.

You cut link #3 and separate it from the others, thereby leaving you with a 2-link piece, 1 (cut) link, and a 4-link piece.

Day 1 - give the single link
Day 2 - take the single link back, give the 2-link piece
Day 3 - give the single link back to add to the 2-link piece, leaving the worker with 3 links
Day 4 - take the 3 links back, and give the 4-link piece
Day 5 - give the single link to add to the 4-link piece
Day 6 - take the single link back, and give the 2-link piece to add with the 4-links
Day 7 - give the single link back - worker now has all 7

Take it away, hockeygod!
