Can we spend Reward Dice on hints?

For every Reward Dice you spend, I get to open one of your spoiler boxes. Otherwise, no

I don't think that it's worth both a reward die and the small but very possible chance that he would find the right riddle

A good riddle should be solvable with the information the other person has.
Preferably within Norse mythos as well.
Though a couple of ideas:

Are we actually able to make a riddle that IF can't solve while solving his own riddles, given he has a first strike advantage and I think we only have one shot to answer?
Might be safer to challenge him to a needlebinding contest?
Or maybe one of those contests that take a really long time.
Can we challenge him to a contest of sleeping, then run away while he's dozing off?

I will also request that you limit yourselves to things that Halla would know of
I like the idea of a sleeping contest, but he would probably hunt us down and destroy our home if we run away.
Regarding the riddles, we are basicaly 20+ vs 1. I am sure we can brainstorm well enough to come up with an answer.

By the way, i am pretty sure using nukes would be Nid for the Norse.

What is that which is born of light, yet flees from it's embrace, which is cast by men living and dead, that we seek to step out of yet in doing so we make another?

It dies every Yule,
Yet we find it living still when the day comes,
We can't see it yet we can name it,
What is it?

Too obvious? More wordplay needed?

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.
