Riddles, for you
Hey guys, a couple of riddles for all of you  third post here:
1) 26 whites on a red hill, they stomp, they chomp, they stand still, what are they?
2) After you give me away, you have to keep me. What am I?
3) What does a man make, but never lives to use it?
4) Name a question you can never answer yes to.(There are probably many... so just name 1)
5) If you don't know what I am, I am something, If you do, I am nothing. What am I?
6) You feel me when you're happy, I'm there during the day, the rain can block me, what am I?
7) I can make anything, and take you anywhere and anytime in seconds. What am I?
8 ) With me you have control over something, usually something not exactly cubed... I usually have numbers 1-0, either up and down, or left and right, or both and usually there's more
9) What's the beginning of end, the end of time and space, the beginning of eternity, and the end of every place?
10) What loses it's head in the morning, and eventually gets it back later in the day? |

Correct(my cousin made that one... guess she messed up on the 28 part :p)
2) Knowledge or advice
Keeping it is pretty much an option... so that'd cancel out knowledge, and the option of keeping it only takes effect once you give it away... so that'd cancel out advice(since you can keep your own advice before you give it away)
3) Past, history or legacy
hmm... doesn't really fit in with the riddle to me... it fits in with the first part... but not the second... I suppose since you can't really use a past... even though... not really what I'm looking for... here's a hint.... it's an object
4) Are you dead?
Already answered but that's acceptable too... closer to what I was looking for also(Are you asleep?)
5) A mystery
was looking for "A Riddle" but that's acceptable too
6) Sunshine
Sunshine doesn't necessarily appear when your happy, Your on the right track though... but it's not really it...
7) A writer
Already been answered... it was imagination... but that's also true
8) Elevator controls ('lift' for our english speaking friends)
An elevator is techniquely cubed(even though it may be a bit rectagulish)... I'm looking for something that's not really cubed I guess if someone gets it you'll see what I mean
9 ) the letter 'E'
Correct
10) My pillow
Correct, even though, not necessarily yours... lol
This was fun. -Philo

5) A mystery, A riddle
6)???
7) your imagination, a writer
8)???
9)The Letter E
10)A Pillow
4 left, I suppose whoever finishes it can create the next 10... and so on |

Correct, it is either a will... or a coffin
4} Are You asleep?
5} A riddle
6} 'Blue Skies'
nope not that... sunshine was closer... just remembered... it's "You feel me when you're happy" anyhow... we still haven't gotten this one...
7} Imagination
8} Keyboard
Works with the riddle just as well as a TV remote. (TVs may look like they're cubed but not really due to the back part of the TV) it has buttons up and down, left and right, and there's more buttons...
9} Letter E
10} Pillow
???????

No. 2 is your word, I think. Or a promise if you like.
