Difficulty:
1. I have a hundred legs, but cant stand alone. I have a long neck but i dont have a head. I cannot see but I'm neat and tidy can be. What am I?

 

2. Give me an x, I'll stand to face you. Give me a cross, I'll turn my back on you. What am I?

 

3. I am slim and tall, many find me desirable and appealing. They touch me and I give a false good feeling. Once I shine in splendor, but only once and then no more. For many I am "to die for". What am I?

 

4. What is it that when you take away the whole, you still have some left over?

 

5. A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me R50, but if I cannot, I will pay you R50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carnie writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man R50. How did the man win the bet?

 

6. What goes around the world but stays in the corner?

 

7. You hear it speak, for it has a hard tongue. But it cannot breathe, for it has not a lung. What is it?

 

8. This old one runs forever, but never moves at all. He has not lungs nor throat, but still a mighty roaring call. What is it?

 

9. Mountains will crumble and temples will fall, and no man can survive its endless call. What is it?

 

10. I am not alive, but I grow; I don't have lungs, but I need air; I don't have a mouth, but water kills me. What am I?

 

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

 

12. They have no flesh, no feathers, no scales and no bones. Yet they have fingers and thumbs of their own. What are they?
