I'll give you two of them, because i got quite a few.

1.) What gets bigger as it gets smaller?

2.) I am a chest filled with gold,
I have no key, as you can see,
And no opening on my edge.
What am I?

Usually when the subject of a sentence is compound, and the components are connected by "and," the verb takes the plural form. For example, we say, "Bob and his wife ARE planning to drive to Florida"... not, "Bob and his wife IS planning to drive to Florida." Likewise, we say, "The vase and the book ARE on the table," not, "The vase and the book IS on the table." But, can you think of a situation where the components of a compound subject are connected by "and," yet the form of the verb must be singular, and not plural?

1. the word small.

2. An egg.

my riddle is still up.  

[Lightwater2520]

Guess I'll answer it tomorrow.

Well, compound subjects connected by "and" can be singular as long as the subjects are somehow related to each other.

An example would be "Cream and sugar is added to coffee to give it flavor."

...I'm not entirely sure of this. But I remember this being in one of my old English lessons

Not quite, they have to be referring to the same thing.
example: The columnist and author is sitting over there by the emergency exit.

Every two-digit number can be represented as AB, where B is the ones digit and A is the tens digit. Right? So for example the number 43, A is 4 and B is 3. Imagine then that you took this two-digit number and you squared it, AB x AB, and when you did that the result was a three-digit number, CAB. Here's the question: What's the value of C? So, for example if AB is 43, CAB might be 943. Of course this is a totally bogus answer, but you get the idea. So again, what is the value of C, so that AB(squared)= CAB?

Sigh... No one posted today. I guess I'll answer it tomorrow and find an easy one.

I got a riddle, but I'm not sure if it's already been told. I haven't read the 50 pages ^_^ i doubt i will read all on them.

Only one colour, but not one size.
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies.
Present in the sun, but not in the rain
doing no harm and feeling no pain.
What am I?

 

[Lightwater2520]

I'm guessing dust.

the answer to mine is 625.

A peacock lays an egg on top of a hill. This hill is divided precisely down the middle by a fence, down which the egg rolls. It lands at the bottom of the hill, exactly on the dividing line between the two sides of the hill. The left-hand side of the hill belongs to Farmer White; the right to Farmer Brown.
To whom does the egg belong?  

[monkeygal3000]

um the peacock

 

[Kazenge]

Lol the peacock. Technically that's true, but it's also true that peacocks don't late eggs wink

A plane crashes directly on the border between the US and Canada, where would you bury the survivors?

In a dictionary
