Hi guys,
I'm stuck on a riddle, and I was hoping someone here could help me out, preferably with the answer :dD , but any hints would help.
I move very quickly,
I locate a place,
I hold things together
And reduce something's space.
What am I?

A parcel in an aeroplane reducing some guys leg space since its beneath his legs. Inside are a bunch of metal bits that are being held together.
Summed Up. A Parcel.

A needle or a pin? You locate a place on a compass, you hold things together when they're pinned together, you reduce a balloons space when you pop it. Dunno about the moving very quickly part though.

Gravity.
It moves very quickly - - light speed.
It locates .....stuff.
Holds things together, obviously.
And the less gravity acting on you, the more space you take up!

A referdex as opposed to a standard map.

Nice ideas, but unfortunately none are correct. I will be told the answer early next month, but in the meantime keep the guesses coming.

So how do you know if we are correct or not. :confused: I like Diabolical's guess, a needle. :)

I submit the answer to a flash-based interface and it tells me whether I'm right or not.
Yeah, I liked needle too, although couldn't see how the moves quickly part fit in with it.

Frame
Frames per second - gaming - should be fast
Locates a place - framework
Holds things together - frames do that kinda thing
Reduce somethings space - squashed into a frame

How do you know if any are right or not, if you don't know the answer yourself :confused:
