'Tis true I have both face and hands,
And move before your eyes,
Yet when I go, my body stands,
And when I stand, I lie.

Try your best folks! :D

That is an easy one Shin.
You must be a clock/watch.

Correct! Congratulations! :D

I thought I'd start off easy! ! !

Here's one more difficult!

What force and strength cannot get through
I with a gentle touch can do;
And many in the streets would stand,
Were I not, as friend, at hand.

You are right. It is more difficult.
I have been at it since yesterday but still have not an inkling  ;D

I am thinking along the line of inertia/motion but cannot quite apply it to the riddle.

Think of some thing simpler. :D

I have wrestled with this one but I admit myself defeated.
Let us hear the answer.

Haha, I'll give a hint, why would you be standing in the streets rather than in the house?

And here's the answer in invisible ink. . .

A key!

A key!

Correct! Congrats! ! !  ;D  :rotflblue:

Two fathers and two sons leave town. This reduces the population of the town by three. True or false?

 :D

True if one of them is a grandfather.

Correct Patricia!

Congratulations! ! !

 :flower: :littlewings:

My head and tail both equal are,
My middle slender as a Bee,
Whether I stand on head or heel
Is quite the same to you or me:
But if my head should be cut off,
The matter's true, although 'tis strange,
Immediately I to nothing change.

8  ;D

You're on a roll! That is correct!

 :cherubim:

Here's another!

Before my birth I had a name,
But, soon as born, I changed the same,
And when I'm laid within the Tomb
I shall my father's name assume;
I change my name three times together,
Yet live but one in any weather.

Hmmm!
Will sleep on it  ;D

Good thought!  Zzzz

Hint  :)

Look at a calendar! :D

The Seasons of the year

Oh that's an interesting answer, hadn't thought of that.

Close but no!  ;D

I have stared and stared at the calender but nothing doing.  
I give up.
Let's hear the answer.

The answer is in invisible ink below!

Today.


 :D

Very interesting  ;D
I would never have got the answer.

Pretty good wasn't it??  ;D

Yes I agree; it was a good one.

Rearrange the letters into words that seem relevant.
For example:


THE EARTHQUAKES:
When you rearrange the letters:
THAT QUEER SHAKE  ;D

Now over to you.
A DECIMAL POINT:
When you rearrange the letters?

I'm going to have to focus on this one! !  ;D

A mailed in pot? Oops no, that leaves out the c and doen't make any sense!

Let me think! :D

In the example given, "that queer shake", sort of describes what an earthquake is using the exact same letters.
So use the letters found in " a decimal point"  to try and describe what it is" :)






   

Answer:


A DECIMAL POINT:
When you rearrange the letters:
I'M A DOT IN PLACE  ;D

Oh dear, that's great!

 :rotflblue:

I never would have gotten it though! I was thinking far more technically! !

Same here.  I am in awe of the architects of these riddles/puzzles/etc. They are geniuses whoever they are. :)

Do you have any more of those? :D

Yes, I have quite a number.
Here is another.

ASTRONOMER:
When you rearrange the letters?

 

One mor' star?  ::)

A toughie too!

:D

Very good attempt.
In an exam you would pass  :)
Here are some clues to the best answer:
It has two words meaning one who looks fixedly at a
satellite of the earth.

Moon stare?  ;D

Yes!
Congratulations.

Here is the list as sent to members of a MailCircle I belong to.
I have taken the liberty to omit the last one which had a political bias
and might easily offend though it is all meant for fun.

E-mails I've received in a while.

Must be "deadly" at Scrabble.

You sure found a lot of those!

I used to play Scrabble quite  a bit.  ;D

A man in white
He’s quite a sight
When he feels the sun
He starts to run
SNOWMAN

I think it's a winter time riddle!

My guess is a snowman!

At first I was thinking shadows but this sounds right!   :winter too:

Right you are, I see the extreme cold over there has not affected your
keen mind. Congratulations.  :)

What happy success!

Thank you for the riddle odhiambo!  :D

Here's a short riddle!

What is it that you keep after giving it to someone else?

I think we already did this Shin. Normally I think and think; sleep on it then think some more. This time, I knew the answer at once.
It is your word or promise.

The flue

Haha! Not bad.

I think that could be thought of as an alternative correct answer.

So true. There is more than one answer.
Come to think of it, even Ebola is correct . 

I will add a hint and say this is something good to keep, rather than something bad.  :D

You mean we have not yet hit on the right answer?

It's not the answer I have in my little book.  :D

If you give it to another, it's a sin not to keep! :D

My name.

I missed that "sin" bit so "name" is out.
What of advice

These are pretty good answers! :D

Let me see, one more hint.

Y _ _ _   w _ _ _ .

:D

That looks suspiciously like "your word" which was the first answer given. :)

Ah, mea culpa, mea culpa! Forgive me! How did I miss that answer?  ???

You were right from the very start odhiambo!  :toocrying:

Congratulations!

Forgiven Shin!
We are human, aren't we? ;D
