If a man made it, it has an eye. If a tree made it, it has no eyes.
What is it?
A needle.

This Roman numeral equation is wrong, but you can fix it without changing any of the elements of the equation. How is this possible?
I + XI = X
Look at it upside down. Instead of changing the equation, you can change your perspective.
This is from Dan Brown’s novel, Origin.

We hurt without moving. And poison without touching.
We bear truth and lies, But are not judged by size.
What are we?
Words.

48 / 2(9 + 3) = ?
It depends. Usually, math has one right answer, but in this case, the order of operations can get a little quirky.
There are two ways to solve this. First, like so: 48 / 2 × (9 + 3) = ? 48 / 2 × (12) = ? 24 × 12 = 288
But another, arguably valid way is: 48 / 2 × (9 + 3) = ? 48 / 2 × (12) = ? 48 / 24 = 2

Silver tears falling down, Nature’s clear imposter, Sparkling, shining like a gown, Adorn an elephant or horse, Silver, PVC or even lead, Bringing cheer to all around, For such a simple thread.
Tinsel.
Tinsel emulates icicles, which are like tears and are clear in nature. Tinsel sparkles and shines, and is used to adorn elephants and horses in India. Tinsel is made from silver, PVC and was once made from lead. Tinsel brings back fond memories to many (including myself) and represents far more than a simple metallic thread would normally warrant.
Happy Holidays!

I am liquid in nature, But don’t bend me to far, For then I may break And give you a scar.
What am I?
Glass. Technically, glass is an amorphous solid, but that doesn’t have the same ring to it.

I Dreamed a Dream
When liquid splashes me, none seeps through, When I’m moved a lot, liquid I spew, When I am hit, color I change, And colors I come in, quite a range, What I cover is quite complex, Yet I am very easy to flex.
What am I?
Skin
I wave my hands at you, But I never say goodbye.
You’re always cool with me, Even cooler when I’m high.
What am I?
An electric fan
