Vafþrúðnir (Riddle Weaver) was one of the wisest and mightiest of the jötnar. Despite Frigg's warnings, Oðin travelled to the jötunn's hall and bet his head against his host's on a trivia contest. Both proved to be very knowledgeable so, to ensure a victory, Oðin posed a question that was impossible for his opponent to answer, asking what he (Oðin) whispered in his son Baldr's ear at his funeral. Despite the obvious unfairness of this question, Vafþrúðnir accepted defeat with dignity.
