Welcome to my thread of riddles. I've been meaning to make this for a long time after Akio's original thread on riddles sparked my interest in them.
I have for you today several riddles I have made up on the spot. Try all you want to google them, if you actually get an answer that way, I will be surprised.
You may post riddles as you wish as well, and may solve any riddles in the thread in any order, just be sure to quote the specific riddle you are solving.
If you're the first to solve the riddles in this OP, you will be listed below that specific riddle you solve like the true champion you are. Nice job.
