Brain Teasers

[Spooner]

#1 An iron horse with a flaxen tail.
The further the horse runs,
the shorter his tail becomes. What is it?

#2 I build up castles.
I tear down mountains.
I make some men blind,
I help others to see.

What am I?

#3 Dead on the field lie ten soldiers in white, felled by three
eyes, black as night.

What happened?

#4 You are walking through a field, and you find something to eat.
It doesn't have bones, and it doesn't have meat. You pick it up
and put it into your pocket. You take it home and put it on a
shelf, but 3 day's later it walks away. What is it?

#5 Where is the only place that yesterday always follows today?

My first name is not Brian, but my middle name is, can I still play?


is it a motorcycle and the exhaust is the tail? guess it could be a car too, like on cold day?

Who is this Brian you're trying to tease?

 

[michaelsslave]

sorry

 

[dullard]

I'm disappointed. (1) Only Brian can play. (2) I came in for multiple teaserS; there is only one teaser. (3) The teaser is the overused teaser which isn't even correct. The speed of the horse has nothing to do with the answer. The distance the horse travels is quite important though and is completely neglected in the teaser. Better version:

An iron horse with a flaxen tail.
The further the horse runs,
the shorter his tail becomes. What is it?

Ah, that makes more sense.

#1 = sewing machine needle?

 

[imported_LoKe]

1. Needle and thread.
2. Sand.
3. Strike.
4. Egg. My mom knew this one. Not sure what 3 days has to do with it.
4. Dictionary. This riddle sucked, though.

EDIT: I think #2 could be sand since it makes glass, so I'll guess sand. Not sure how that affects mountains particularly, erosion?
