3. Take off my skin -- I won't cry, but you will! What am I?

Explanation

An onion is the correct answer because when you peel off its skin, it releases a chemical compound that irritates the eyes, causing them to tear up. This is a common experience when cutting onions in the kitchen. Garlic, an apple, and an orange do not have the same effect when their skin is removed.

Submit
4. If you have me, you want to share me. If you share me, you haven't got me. What am I?

Submit
5. What has an eye but can not see?

A needle has an eye, which is the small hole at the top where the thread is inserted, but it cannot see because it is an inanimate object.

Submit
6. You answer me, although I never ask you questions. What am I?

Explanation

A telephone is the correct answer because it is a device that allows people to communicate by speaking to each other, without the need for the person on the other end to ask any questions. The other options, such as a remote control, radio, and TV, do not fit the description as they do not involve direct communication or answering without being asked a question.

Submit
7. I have keys but no locks. I have space but no room. You can enter, but can't go outside. What am I?

Explanation

The correct answer is a keyboard. A keyboard has keys but no locks, as it is used for typing and inputting information. It has space between the keys but no physical room, as it is a flat surface. You can enter letters and numbers on a keyboard, but you cannot physically go outside of it.

Submit
8. What kind of room has no doors or windows?

Explanation

A mushroom is the correct answer because it is a type of room that does not have any doors or windows. Mushrooms are fungi that grow underground or on decaying matter, forming a closed structure that resembles a room. Unlike flowers, trees, or fruits, mushrooms do not have any openings or access points, making them a suitable answer to the question.

Submit
9. What goes up white and comes down yellow?

Explanation

The correct answer is "An egg." When an egg is cracked open, the white part of the egg is initially on top and appears white, while the yolk is yellow. Therefore, when the egg goes up (is cracked open) it is white, and when it comes down (is cooked or consumed) it is yellow.

Submit
10. What is greater than God,more evil than the devil,the poor have it,the rich need it,and if you eat it, you'll die?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Nothing". This riddle plays on the concept of contrasting elements. It suggests that there is something greater than God and more evil than the devil, but it turns out to be nothing. The poor have nothing, the rich need nothing, and if you eat nothing, you'll die. The answer fits perfectly with the clues given in the question.
