Subtract One and Twelve Remains
A word I know, six letters it contains, subtract just one and twelve remains.
Dozens, dozen.
What Has Roots Nobody Sees?
What has roots that nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes,
Yet it never grows?
A mountain (from Tolkien)
I Am Whole But Incomplete
I am whole but incomplete. I have no eyes, yet I see. You can see, and see right through me. My largest part is one fourth of what I once was.
What am I?
A skeleton.
Weight In My Belly
Weight in my belly,
Trees on my back,
Nails in my ribs,
Feet I do lack.
What am I?
A boat.
Cut One Off And I Become Stronger
I have three letters. Cut one off and I become stronger. Cut two off and I become ten. What am I?
A fox. Removing the f leaves ox, a strong animal. Cutting off the fo leaves X, the roman numeral for 10.
The More You Run
The more you run, the harder I am to catch. What am I?
Your breath.
Seen in the Water
I am seen in the water
If seen in the sky,
I am in the rainbow,
A jay’s feather,
And lapis lazuli.
Blue.
I Have An Eye But Cannot See
I have an eye but cannot see.
I’m faster than any man alive and have no limbs.
What am I?
A tornado or a hurricane. The calm area in the middle of such a storm is called the eye and wind speeds can reach up to 300 mph in an extreme tornado. Neither one have any arms or legs, but that doesn’t stop them from moving, does it?
