Who am I? (11- 20)

11) The more you have of it, the less you see. What is it?

12) What has a head, a tail, is brown, and has no legs?

13) What English word has three consecutive double letters?

14) What's black when you get it, red when you use it, and white when you're all through with it?

15) You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?

16) I am always hungry,
I must always be fed,
The finger I touch,
Will soon turn red

17) Ripped from my mother's womb,
Beaten and burned,
I become a blood thirsty killer.
What am I?

18) I know a word of letters three. Add two, and fewer there will be

19) I give you a group of three. One is sitting down, and will never get up. The second eats as much as is given to him, yet is always hungry. The third goes away and never returns.

20) I have four legs but no tail. Usually I am heard only at night. What am I?

21) Half-way up the hill, I see thee at last, lying beneath me with thy sounds and sights -- A city in the twilight, dim and vast, with smoking roofs, soft bells, and gleaming lights

22) When young, I am sweet in the sun.
When middle-aged, I make you gay.
When old, I am valued more than ever.

23) All about, but cannot be seen,
Can be captured, cannot be held,
No throat, but can be heard.

24) If you break me
I do not stop working,
If you touch me
I may be snared,
If you lose me
Nothing will matter.

25) Until I am measured
I am not known,
Yet how you miss me
When I have flown.

26) I drive men mad
For love of me,
Easily beaten,
Never free.

27) When set loose
I fly away,
Never so cursed
As when I go astray

28) Lighter than what
I am made of,
More of me is hidden
Than is seen

29) Each morning I appear
To lie at your feet,
All day I will follow
No matter how fast you run,
Yet I nearly perish
In the midday sun.

30) My life can be measured in hours,
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick
Fat, I am slow
Wind is my foe.

31) I am seen in the water
If seen in the sky,
I am in the rainbow,
A jay's feather,
And lapis lazuli.

32) Glittering points
That downward thrust,
Sparkling spears
That never rust.

33) You heard me before,
Yet you hear me again,
Then I die,
'Till you call me again.

34) Three lives have I.
Gentle enough to soothe the skin,
Light enough to caress the sky,
Hard enough to crack rocks.

35) At the sound of me, men may dream
Or stamp their feet
At the sound of me, women may laugh
Or sometimes weep

36) What does man love more than life
Fear more than death or mortal strife
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what contented men desire,
What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves
And all men carry to their graves?

37) I build up castles.
I tear down mountains.
I make some men blind,
I help others to see.
What am I?

38) Two in a corner,
1 in a room,
0 in a house, but 1 in a shelter. What am I?

39) Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.

40) It cannot be seen, it weighs nothing, but when put into a barrel, it makes it lighter. What is it?

41) How far will a blind dog walk into a forest?

42) What happens when you throw a yellow rock into a purple stream?

43) What starts with a T, ends with a T, and has T in it?

44) As I went over London Bridge
I met my sister Jenny
I broke her neck and drank her blood
And left her standing empty

45) Whoever makes it, tells it not.
Whoever takes it, knows it not.
Whoever knows it, wants it not

46) I am, in truth, a yellow fork
From tables in the sky
By inadvertent fingers dropped
The awful cutlery.
Of mansions never quite disclosed
And never quite concealed
The apparatus of the dark
To ignorance revealed.

47) You saw me where I never was and where I could not be. And yet within that very place, my face you often see. What am I?

48) I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champagne bubble.
If you squeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?

49) Say my name and I disappear. What am I?

50) What is it that after you take away the whole, some still remains?

51) A box without hinges, lock or key, yet golden treasure lies within. What is it?

52) Forward I'm heavy, but backwards I'm not. What am I?

53) Why doesn't a mountain covered with snow catch cold?

54) I can be long, or I can be short.
I can be grown, and I can be bought.
I can be painted, or left bare.
I can be round, or square.
What am I?

55) One by one we fall from heaven
down into the depths of past
And our world is ever upturned
so that yet some time we'll last

56) I drift forever with the current
down these long canals they've made
Tame, yet wild, I run elusive
Multitasking to your aid.
Before I came, the world was darker
Colder, sometimes, rougher, true
But though I might make living easy,
I'm good at killing people too.

57) Reaching stiffly for the sky,
I bare my fingers when it's cold
In warmth I wear an emerald glove
And in between I dress in gold

58) Kings and queens may cling to power
and the jester's got his call
But, as you may all discover,
the common one outranks them all

59) Every dawn begins with me
At dusk I'll be the first you see
And daybreak couldn't come without
What midday centers all about
Daises grow from me, I'm told
And when I come, I end all cold
But in the sun I won't be found
Yet still, each day I'll be around

60) Kings and lords and christians raised them
Since they stand for higher powers
Yet few of them would stand, I'm certain,
if women ruled this world of ours
