Tuesday's Riddles

1) Can you name three consecutive days without
saying the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, or Saturday?

2) Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all letters, the first of all figures,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.

3) If you have me, you want to share me.
But if you share me, I will no longer exist.
What am I?

4) We are many guards of a precious gate
Sometimes we lean backward
and sometimes we stand straight
Some of us are short and some are tall
We never quit the fight but we might fall
We wear war paint and cover in black
We always defend but never will attack.
What Are We?

5) What colour is depicted below?

BRLEUDE

6) What can be deeper than the sea,
More intriguing than stars and space,
Simple as can be,
Duller than an empty place,
As innocent as a gentle word,
And guilty like a mean jailbird,
From whence comes most of the things we see,
Which otherwise just wouldn't be.
What can it be, what can it be?

7) Old Mother Twitch she had but one eye
And a great long tail that she let fly
And every time she went through a gap
She left a bit of her tail in the trap
Who or what is 'Old Mother Twitch'?
