Turn Into a Car, Building or Robot
I can turn into a car, building or even a robot. I’m man made and my siblings and I outnumber you sixty-two to one. My name means, “Play well” in my creator’s native tongue. What am I?
Legos. They can be turned into all sorts of things, including cars, building and robots. If you divided up all the legos ever made, each person on the planet would get 62. Lego is based on the Danish phrase leg godt which means, “play well”.
Many and One
They are many and one,
They wave and they drum,
Used to cover a stare,
They go with you everywhere.
Your hands.
I Am Worthless
I am worthless, yet when added to others I add worth.
I confounded the ancient Greeks, yet I changed men’s understanding.
What am I?
0 (Zero).
Zero is nothing, yet when you add zeroes to a number like 1, it becomes 10, 100 or 1,000.
The ancient Greeks did not have a name for zero and did not use a placeholder. They seemed unsure about the status of zero as a number, philosophizing about how nothing could be something. Once zero was added, it allowed for more mathematical understanding.
I Never Return
What are these three related items? When I am placed somewhere I will never stand up. Whatever you give me I will eat. When I go I never return.
A stove, fire, smoke.
Essentially a duplicate of A Group of Three but I’m keeping it here to avoid broken links.
Tends To Overlook
I am something everybody tends to overlook, no matter how careful they are. What am I?
Your nose.
