Since I totally missed Xell's riddle, here it is again:
"Cut off my head and I shall still be found
Though somewhat shorter, still the same in sound.
Cut off my tail, I still remain the same
Bereft of both, I will not change my name
Not even if you deprive of my middle
Now lest as me you would considered be
I pray you quickly to find out this riddle"

I think the key to the riddle is "Now lest as me you considered be I pray you quickly to find out this riddle." "As me" would be stupid, or slow, or somesuch. I want to say a zero, based on the "deprive me of my middle" thing. Still, I'm not sure how the head and tail fit in.
