cant be assed if im totally blunt

lozey has won this one!

I am what I am. But if you know what I am , I am no longer what I am . What am I?

Answer: A Riddle!

Personally, I think "riddle" is weak. I'm not saying that because I wanted to win, it's just not as logical as other answers. For instance - just because I know the answer to a riddle, doesn't mean it's no longer a riddle.

Semantics, I know...but that answer just bugs me.

Here's an easy one:

If you were running a race, and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now?

You would now be in second place! You'd have to overtake the person in first place to be in first place.

Here's one more. You are driving a bus. At the first stop you pick up 3 people. At the second stop 2 people get off and 7 people get on. At the third stop 3 people get on and 5 people get off. At the fourth stop 9 people get on and 2 people get off. At the fifth stop one person gets on and 5 people get off. Now this is the question. I hope you have been paying attention! What colour are the drivers eyes? I need an answer and why.

brown...cuz im the driver

Answer: A Riddle!

I agree with Demitri on this one - just because you know the answer, doesn't mean it's no longer a riddle. A riddle is a riddle, whether you know the answer or not - it doesn't stop being a riddle when you find the answer.
I think mystery or secret are much better answers .

I also said mystery and secret, I was gonna do surprise, but I figured that was wrong too.

My first thought was secret too.

I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champane bubble.
If you squeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?

Time

This one may not be as good written down as it is in person but ill give it a shot.

Go get 15 matches.

Make 3 sqares with the matches.

With the remaining 3 matches, place one in the 1st square vertically, one in the second square horizontally and one in the last square diagonally.

So.. you have 15 matches.. the aim is simple.. just remove 6 matches to leave 10.

a guy pushes his car up to a hotel and realises he has gone bankrupt ......why??

monopoly?

Ill come in day Ill come at night
Can give you joy or give a fright
In seeing me you are alone

well i guess it could depend on whether you believe in the afterlife...or who it is that dies
