I Appear In The Morning But Am Always There
I appear in the morning but am always there.
You can never see me though I am everywhere.
By night I am gone, though I sometimes never was.
Nothing can defeat me but I am easily gone.
What am I?
Sunlight.
If You Break Me, I Don’t Stop Working
If you break me
I do not stop working,
If you touch me
I may be snared,
If you lose me
Nothing will matter.
Your heart.
Snake Coiled Round and Round
Snake coiled round and round,
Snake deep below the ground,
Snake that’s never had a head,
Snake that binds but not with dread.
A rope.
Odd Start, Even Finish
What three letter English word has an odd start, an even finish and an infinitely long middle?
The word vex. “v” is Roman numeral 5, which is odd. “x” is Roman numeral 10, which is even. “e” is the base of the natural logarithm and is irrational (e = 2.718281828…). Its mantissa (the part to the right of the decimal point) is infinitely long.
Nearly A Victory, Quickly I Pass
Nearly a victory,
Quickly I pass,
A request of the chair,
I’m silver, not brass.
What am I?
Second. Second place is next to winning. Seconds, the measure of time, pass quickly. Seconding a motion is requested by the chair of the body in Parliament. And the second place finisher in many sporting events such as the Olympics is awarded the silver medal.
And as for why the unit of time is called a second, it goes back to the days of Ptolemy. A second of time is the second small part, or pars minuta secunda, of an hour. (Thanks to Tim J for researching it).
I Start Out The Same As Others
I start out the same as others,
Then grow to four legs and four arms,
And two hearts beat inside,
Until the separation.
What am I?
A pregnant woman is like other women, then the baby forms, and then is delivered.
