Q1 - Spooky got it, Coffic or Grave
Q2 - (I'll let you cook for a while on that)
Q3 - Ionsteam got it, Mirror or Reflection. Shadows was good, but they don't look bad at you.
Q4 - Mnemonix got that, Time.

Q5 - It is as innevitable as death, we all have to go through it someday, however the question of it is not when, or how, or why, but who it will happen to. What is it?

Q6 - It passes across the sky, yet casts no shadow or reflection, what is it?

Q7 - History sees us, science does not, religion denies us, memories do not, skeptics question us, but know otherwise. What are we?

Q8 - I cloud the giver off life, but holes in my skin reveal she is still there, what am I?

Q9 - When fresh it is not right, when cold it is sweet, when left for too long it is unrecognisable. what is it?

I'll let you cook on these as well!

Q5 - Mnemonix got that one, Birth. I'm surprised you got that!
Q6 - Ditto , Wind.
Q7 - (not yet) [edit for Apolloed] Nope.
Q8 - (not yet)
Q9 - (not yet)

Damn I'm evil!

Q10 - It can be different for each of us, but it can also be the same for us all. We can denie it and ignore it, but it is always there. We can forget it, and it is gone. But none of us can escape it, what is it?

Q11 - We want it, but none of us have it, we seek it, but none of us find it. So close yet so far, yet in our dreams it seems so possible. What is it?

I think I've stumped you now! I may give you the answers in 24 hours if I'm feeling generous! That is, if you don't get them between now and then!

[edit] BiggAdd, I just realised, no one's answered you one!

What goes up, but never comes down.

Hmm.

Hollywood egos? No they do get battered on occassions.
Technology? No, we lost Atlantis once, what next?
Yup, I have to agree with Tobias Quan, living costs is all i can think of!

Q1 - What wasn't there, but was brought. What is inside but not physical. What shapes us all but brings out the worst. What is revealed when the fire goes out?



I hope that's vague enough

Apolloed's jokes.

1 - Nerds haven't got time for either?
2 - Clever coggs.
3 - Getting inside one is a dangerous business!
4 - Nerds forget what a bath is?
5 - The hampster hands you it's 2 weeks notice.
6 - His server.
7 - Home
8 - It sued it's owner?
9 - Someone left the side panels off.
10- A circuit eating desease.

Silly answers yes, but it's 12:45am here.

No, although once you know the answer it could be linked (vaguely) to deceit To answer this I think you need to have studied something to make it far easier

EDIT:
Quote: "Quote: "What do miniskirts and hard disks have in common?

Access Time."

RAM is infinitely faster than harddrives...

Quote: "Q12 What Amazing Invention allows you to see through a brick wall?"


A window

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Heres a real beauty. Stumped me for a while:



Okay, a very evil person has put 4 people into the ground and cemented them up to their necks, and a stuck facing one direction, left or right. They are either wearing a blue or green hat. The arangement of who is wearing what coloured hat is what is shown above. The red thing is a brick wall, so [1] cannot see the other three.

The very evil person tells them all that they will only be allowed to go free if one of them can tell him what colour hat they are wearing. The are told that there are only 2 hat colours, and that there are two of each. They are also told the arrangement of each other, so they know who is in what position and facing which direction. They are unable to see what they are wearing. The evil person also tells them that they are not allowed to communicate with each other in any way. If they doo they will all be beheaded.

After a few minutes, one of them correctly tells the evil man what colour hat he is wearing. He figures out what colour, he does not guess. Which one knows what colour hat they are wearing?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: Neofish reminded me include this: Person [4] can see person [2]'s hat
