Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    What is as big as you are and yet does not weigh anything?

    Explanation
    Your shadow is as big as you are because it is a reflection of your body, but it does not weigh anything because it is simply the absence of light caused by your body blocking the light source. Shadows are formed when an object blocks light from reaching a surface, creating a dark area that appears to have a shape similar to the object. Since shadows are not physical objects, they do not have any weight.

    When you have me, you feel like sharing me. But, if you do share me, you don't have me. What am I?

    Explanation
    The answer to the question is "A secret." When someone has a secret, they often feel the need to share it with someone else. However, once the secret is shared, it is no longer a secret and the person no longer has it. This riddle plays on the idea that secrets are something that can be both desired and yet lost once shared.

    Until I am measured I am not known, Yet how you miss me When I have flown. Who Am I?

    Explanation
    The answer to this riddle is "Time." The explanation is that time is intangible and cannot be measured or seen directly. However, its presence is felt and missed when it has passed.

    We are a couple for life We are useless without each other, And the carriers of great burden We cannot get busy unless we are full And cannot get rest unless we are empty. What are we?

    Explanation
    The explanation for the answer "A pair of shoes" is that shoes are often worn by couples, symbolizing their unity and commitment to each other. Shoes are useless without each other, as a single shoe cannot be worn. They also carry the burden of supporting and protecting the feet while walking or standing. Shoes need to be full, meaning they need to be worn and used, in order to serve their purpose. And when not in use, they are empty and at rest.
