Here is another riddle. I will translate from the Hebrew bec I don't have Hebrew font, but it all rhymed...

Because I forgave my humiliation I was punished,
And I was one of those who made an improper request,
I received my terrible punishment with joy,
because of the portion I was promised.
At the time of my Kapara, I merited to be described in a special way,
Afterwards, it was like I never tasted sin.

Forgave humiliation - he left his coat with Eshes Potifar and was jailed because of this
Improper request - asked the Sar Hamashkim to remember him to Paroh
Terrible punishment - 2 more years in jail
Described in special way
ברוך הגבר אשר יבטח בה


This is good!
The only thing I don't agree with is "forgave humiliation". It's true he was humiliated with the story of Eishes Potiphar- but we don't see that he forgave the humiliation.

The correct answer is Shaul Hamelech.

This is the explanation given (translated from the Hebrew):

-Shaul was punished because he was mochel on his kavod at the time that the Bnei Bliya'al mocked him when Shmuel crowned him king of Yisroel.

-Shaul was from those who requested improperly, (this refers to a gemara that says there were four people who requested improperly...) in his promise to the one who would slay Golias.

- that when Shmuel told Shaul about the terrible punishment that he will die in war together with his 3 sons, Shaul was happy about the midas hadin that would strike him

-that Shaul rejoiced when he received his punishment, because at that time he was promised that he'd merit to receive his portion in olam haba in the vicinity of Shmuel Hanavi

-that at the time of his kappara on the story of the Giv'onim, he merited to be described in a special way, namely, "the Chosen One of Hashem"

-that this kappara was on such a level, it was as if he never tasted sin, and he was like someone without sin.

(The question also contained a hint, which I did not get. Maybe you could explain it. The hint was "d'mus d'mus l'parshas Nitzavim.")

Interesting because I could connect Dmus to Yosef who saw his father's image

So I saw somewhere but don't remember where that Yosef could have gone back in and gotten his coat but then Eishes Potiphar would have been humiliated so yes he did rather be humiliated himself

Interesting. I dont think I ever heard that. Then it makes sense.

So I finally got a chance to look this up.
In the answer, it says that the remez is in Rashi in Parshas Nitzavim (29:12). It says there in a davar acher, Atem Nitzavim means that since B"y were being transferred from one leader to another, from Moshe to Yehoshua, therfore he made a gathering - matzeva- he stood them before him...And So too, Shmuel did the same when he passed the leadership to Shaul.

I still don't know what is meant by dmus dmus l'parshas Nitzavim.

In a leap year, you will have twelve months elapsed before Pesach. Starting to count months from Nissan, which is the first month of the year.

Bu the riddle was a 'year cycle' - not 12 months.
I consider a year cycle to mean all the months.
