riddle
I am tall and slender, my skin as white or fair as a lady’s. My life is short and fades quickly, often lasting less than a day. If brought out in the evening, I expire at night. Yet I am always useful, revealing many hidden things, making those around me sigh at my end.
Solution
Commit an attempt to unseal the proof. Write your answer — right or wrong, thinking it through is the point.
