Summer Week 2023 - Riddle me this, Riddle me that

[Spenny]

Roll up, roll up....

I have put together a list of riddles for your entertainment.  Close your eyes and imagine you are in front of the genie who will not let you leave until you answer a riddle.

They are a range of easy, medium and hard.  That description of difficulty is scientifically calculated from how easy it would be for me to answer.  As I average 3 to 4 on the WRQ then should not be too tricky for you all 🤣🤣

Reply with your answers, one each to give everyone a chance, though if time is a ticking and no responses feel free to go again.

So onto the main event:

1. Riddle: What has to be broken before you can use it?
2. Riddle: I’m tall when I’m young, and I’m short when I’m old. What am I?
3. Riddle: What question can you never answer yes to?
4. Riddle: There’s a one-story house in which everything is yellow. Yellow walls, yellow doors, yellow furniture. What color are the stairs?
5. Riddle: What gets wet while drying?
6. Riddle: You walk into a room that contains a match, a kerosene lamp, a candle and a fireplace. What would you light first?
7. Riddle: What has a head and a tail but no body?
8. Riddle: Mary has four daughters, and each of her daughters has a brother. How many children does Mary have?
9. Riddle: Which is heavier: a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?
10. Riddle: What gets bigger when more is taken away?
11. Riddle: I’m surrounded by water but I’m not a fish. What am I?

There's always one... 😂

And Q1 could be "the seal on a bottle", eg a vodka bottle 😁

What's wrong with that? Seems perfectly feasible to me! 🙄

[Spenny]

That all depends on what shop you are buying that vodka bottle from @pgn 😂

Bah, humbug! 🤣

I think @Mi-Amigo' answer was more in the "spirit" of the question, no pun intended given the alternative Q1 answer earlier 😎
