Thought I'd start a riddle thread, inspired by catloverin a few days ago.

I have a few, so if you're up for answering....


What object has keys that open no locks, space but no room, and you can enter but not go in?

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?

More of a logic riddle:

In a basement there are 3 light switches, all in the off position. Each switch controls 1 of 3 light bulbs on the floor above. You may move any of the switches, but you may only go up the basement stairs ONE time only.

If you return down the stairs after ONE ascent, you will be eaten alive by basement demons. If you go upstairs without figuring out which switch is which you will be hit with a lightening bolt. The kitchen elf will quiz you!

How can you determine which switch controls each light?

Is this right? Turn on the first switch, then turn it off. Turn on the second switch and leave it on. Go upstairs. The light that is on is controlled by the second switch. The light that is off but still warm is controlled by the first switch. The light that is off and cold is controlled by the third switch.

Here's one:

A man was found hanging from a ceiling beam in an empty room. Underneath him is a puddle of water. The coroner said it was suicide. How did he do it?
