What has 4 feet in the morning, 2 feet in the afternoon, 3 feet at night, and is weaker the more it has?
A shadow? The tide? An odd man that can grow extra limbs?
What has 4 feet in the morning, 2 feet in the afternoon, 3 feet at night, and is weaker the more it has?
Humans, they crawl as babies, walk on 2 feet as middle aged people, walk with a cane as old people, and are weaken when they get older. YO SOY INTELIGENTE

Well... I had to ask my parents about it. Someone said they had heard it before, in the Bible somewhere...
So I looked...
"What is it? An enclosure with ten doors; when one is open, nine are shut, and when nine are open, one is shut," Sheba asked Solomon.
Solomon answered, "The enclosure is the womb, and the ten doors are the ten orifices of man, namely his eyes, his ears, his nostrils, his mouth, the apertures for discharge of excreta and urine, and the navel. When the child is still in its mother's womb, the navel is open, but all the other apertures are shut, but when the child issues from the womb the navel is closed and the other orifices are open."

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.
There is a relatively common English word that is nine letters long. Every time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word, from nine letters right on down to a single letter. So if you're up to the challenge, what's the original word, and what are each of the words it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

*note the light does not have to be on and the door can't be kept open.
You flip the first switch up for an hour or so, then you flip it down and flip the second. You go into the room and feel if its warm, if it is its number 1. If its on its number 2 because you just flipped that switch . If its not warm or not on its number 3 because you never touched it.

this one might be kind of easy:
are very little creatures; all of us have different features. One of us in glass is set; one of us you'll find in jet. Another you may see in tin, and a fourth is boxed within. If the fifth you should pursue, it can never fly from you. What are we?
this one might be harder:
I have four wings, but cannot fly, I never laugh and never cry; On the same spot I'm always found, toiling away with little sound. What am I?

You flip 1 on, open the door, check it, if it's not on, you leave the door open, walk over and try the other 2 while looking into the room.

You mean tigers, right. They can actually go an extremely long time w/o food, but since there's no specific time, I'd take door 1.

Already been answred, at the right stop. Or, the passenger asks the driver how much he owes him, and the driver answers.
A man is driving in his car to work, going slowly because of the traffic. He makes it home in 80 minutes. The next day, he takes the bus home, and the bus goes the same speed, but it takes the bus 1 hour and 20 minutes. Why?
80 minutes = 1 hour 20 minutes. That wouldnt really happen though, the bus would take longer if it was going the same speed, it would have to stop at bus stops.

which clock will show the correct time more offten, a stopped clock, or one that gains a minnute every hour?
once the clock that gains a minute it hits an hour, the time is wrong for 30 days until its right again
meanwhile the stoped clock is right 2 times a day which would end up having it be right 60 times
however, since it takes an hour for the clock to gain a minute, both of these clocks will be right just as often
both of them will be right 60 times over an expanse of 30 days
