All In White, A Fossil
All in white, a fossil,
fresh snow, a loan, the sky,
But just what am I?
A bride (something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue).
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.
Cannot Hear or Even See
I cannot hear or even see,
But sense light and sounds there may be,
Sometimes I end up on a hook,
I can be combined with a book.
What am I?
A worm. Worms don’t have eyes or ears, but they can sense light and their bodies can detect vibrations in the ground. Fishers use worms as bait and the term bookwork is used for someone who loves to read.
Remove Four And I’m The Same
I am an English word with five letters. If you remove my last four I am still pronounced the same. What am I?
Queue.
Always Done On Purpose
Of all the things that are broken,
this makes the least noise
and is always done on purpose.
Bread.
