The door turns visible on a specific full moon every so often. The riddle has something to do with the time the thrush cracks the snail. Bilbo hears the thrush crack the snail, and realizes that today is the day the door can be opened.

Bilbo's attention is drawn by a thrush who lands upon a stone to eat a snail it has caught. The sun light highlights a keyhole set in the stone, revealing the location of the secret door.

He uses the key. Bilbo found it on the ground where they had been fighting. Fortunately it had fallen out of the troll's pocket before they were turned to stone.

How did Gandalf fool the trolls?

By imitating the voices of the trolls, Gandalf managed to make the trolls fight among themselves. This went on so long until the sunlight surprised the trolls; converting them into stone. The trolls were supposed to seek refuge in some cave or something, before sunrise.By imitating the voices of the trolls, Gandalf managed to make the trolls fight among themselves.

After they caught Bilbo, the dwarves came looking for him. As they got around the fire the trolls popped a sack over their heads. It all started when they caught Bilbo. As they were questioning him, Balin came in, quite unsuspecting of anything. The trolls jumped him before he knew what's what. Then they hid behind the trees out of the light and waited for the other dwarves, who they promptly caught in a sack.

The morning sunlight is what caused them to turn to stone.
