Subject: Riddles.....

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don't give up.

1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke
different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

HINTS

1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The Green house is on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.

It's hard, you'll feel smart when you figure it out, and stupid when I tell you the answer.

I'll post the answer if enough people have a go at it

Make a grid for this one, trust me.
I actually did this one once, but forgot the answer. And I'm too lazy to make the grid for it again.

I know a word of letters three.
Add two, and fewer there will be.

I've measured it from side to side,
'Tis three feet long and two feet wide.
It is of compass small, and bare
To thirsty suns and parching air.

When young, I am sweet in the sun.
When middle-aged, I make you -blam!-.
When old, I am valued more than ever.

If you break me
I do not stop working,
If you touch me
I may be snared,
If you lose me
Nothing will matter.

Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.

What has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than trees.
Up, up it goes, and yet it never grows.
What is it?

Ripped from my mother's womb,
Beaten and burned,
I become a blood-thirsty slayer
What am I?
