200

What is full of holes but still holds water?

A sponge

300

What can you break, even if you never pick it up or touch it?

A promise

400

I shave every day, but my beard stays the same. What am I?

A barber

500

I have branches, but no fruit, trunk or leaves. What am I?

A bank

Wizard

100

What has many keys but can’t open a single lock?

A piano

200

I’m light as a feather, yet the strongest person can’t hold me for five minutes. What am I?

Your breath

The Hobbits

100

"What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?"

A mountain

200

First they champ,

Then they stamp,

Then they stand still.

Teeth

300

"Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters."

Wind

400

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

Dark

500

"This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down."

Time

Orge

100

I’m an acrobat and a chatty chap,
I travel with friends but I need no map,
I feed my children the milk of the sea,
And in France, I’m considered royalty.

Dolphin

200

I’m among the world’s most unwelcome guests,
I crash whichever party I like best,
And am known as an dirty reveler,
Though, I am a beautiful traveler.

Meteor (or Comet)

300

An auspicious gift or a deadly plot?
If you were standing there, right on the spot,
Would you sense the fall of a great city?
I gallop over sin, without pity.

Trojan Horse

400

I am a net for catching intruders,
A weapon for a cold blooded murder
An elegant plate for eating supper
And a mode of transport that is super.

A spider web

500

Turn me upside down and I’m right side up
Empty my glass and you fill up my cup,
I’m always on time and I’m never late,
I never go backwards at any rate.
