Letter E

Great round walls as white as milk.
A thin skin as soft as silk.
In a crystal fountain
A golden apple shall appear.
There are no doors to this strong hold
Yet theives break in and steal the gold.

Black we are and much admired.
Men will seek us if they're tired.
We tire the horses, yet confort men.
Tell me this riddle if you can.

Beats me then. Could be anything edible or drinkable. The more you consume, the less of it remains visible. Or alcohol. Although, if you have enough of that, you'll see twice as much (though half as sharp).

Roads

Three old men are sitting on a curb. They are named wealth, success, and love. A man driving home stops in front the men who say if he welcomes one into his home, he will be blessed with that trait, but that he can only pick one of them. The man thinks for a while before making his choice. All three men get in the car. Which one did he pick?
I give. I'll make a better signature when I finally categorized those billion thoughts.

Love, he has a house that shows wealth. He drives a car and that shows success, he doesnt have love yet.

Just one color, but not one size.
Stuck to the ground, yet easily flies.
Present in sun, but not in rain.
Doing no harm and feeling no pain.

A shadow? A shadow stays one color and when a plane leaves the ground the shadow stays. It creates a flying shadow. A shadow doesn't show up in rain and it only can show up when sun hits an object/living thing. A shadow can't feel pain or cause harm.

Nothing


I can sizzle like bacon,
I have plenty of backbone,
But lack a good leg,
I am made with an egg,
I peel layers like onions,
But still remain whole,
I can be long like a flagpole,
Yet fit in a hole.
What am I?

My third is in thyme, but not in time.
My fourth is in mother, but not in brother.
My last is in time, but not in climb.

The answer was chimney. Guess that was a little too hard.

What strength and force cannot do.
I with a simple touch can do.
And many in the street would stand
If I were not a friend at hand.

a) John correctly predicted the final score.
b) John correctly predicted the score “before [the game] starts”, as in he predicted 0–0 which was indeed the score before the game started.
c) John made a prediction, and the bet was only that he “can predict”, with no mention of “correctly predict”.
