Riddle me this?

[A Deo et Rege]

Here are some riddles to test your wit.

(1) Whoever makes it, tells it not. Whoever takes it, knows it not. And whoever knows it wants it not.

(2) Black I am and much admired, men seek me until they're tired. When they find me, they break my head, and take from me my resting bed. What am I?

(3) What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps?

(4) Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?

(5) A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. In the evening, he gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator - or if it was raining that day - he goes back to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment. Can you explain why?

(6) A table tennis ball (= ping pong ball) fell into a tight deep pipe (amendment: eg. 30 cm long, buried in concrete pavement - having firm metal bottom, only 1 cm of the pipe is above the ground - so it can not be moved). The pipe was only a bit wider than the ball, so you can not use your hand. How would you take it out, with no damage?

I got one for you:
If you fail, but succeed, which have you done?

I got one for you:

Well, technically you have succeeded at failing; it really depends on the syntax of the statement.

...Touche.


Your riddles are too hard.
I can only figure out number 2: either a black hooker or a gun cap.


EDIT: OH a black head pimple?
idk. lmao.

1= A secret?

2= ...no idea

3= A River!

5= Because he's a midget and can't reach number 10, but if someone else is there they can press the button for him?

6= Fill the pipe up with water, so that the ping pong ball will float to the top.

Edit: Number 4= Not a "single" man got wet. None of the men were single. They were all married. Lol.

Here is another riddle for you to ponder.

There is a row of five houses, each having a different color. In these houses live five people of various nationalities. Each of them nurtures a different beast, likes different drinks and smokes different brand of cigars.

1. The Brit lives in the Red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The Green house is on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the center house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the Blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

Which of the five house owners keeps a fish as a pet?

[Kasnia]

The German has the fish.

Haha......Kasnia seems to be the only one to be able to figure these out, but then again she is the only one who has even attempted them; well, besides ZeroFoe, but I don't really think he was trying. I wonder if exial (sp?), with his relentless pursuit to test our knowledge, can figure these out??

I shall post more soon, but for now these will do.
