1) What can be half full, three-quarters full, but never empty?

2) What is it that when you take away the whole, you still have some left over?

3) If you have it, you want to share it, but if you share it, you don't have it. What is it?

4) What part of your body disappears when you stand up?

5) What goes around the world and yet stays in a corner?

6) I can be cracked, I can be made, I can be told, I can be played. What am I?

7) I'm part of the bird that's not in the sky; I can swim in the ocean and yet remain dry. What am I?

8) I run over fields and woods all day;
Under the bed I sit all alone.
My tongue hangs out, up to the rear;
I'm waiting to be filled in the morning.
What am I?

*9) As a whole, I am both safe and secure.
Behead me, and I become a place for a meeting.
Behead me again, and I become the partner of ready.
Restore me, and I become the domain of beasts.
What am I?

*10) Two sisters are we, one dark and one fair;
In twin towers dwelling we're quite a pair.
One from the land, and one from the sea,
Tell us truly, who are we?

11) Who ever makes it tells it not;
Who ever takes it, knows it not;
Who ever knows it, wants it not.
What is it?

12) People are hired to get rid of me;
I'm often hiding under your bed.
In time I'll always return you see;
Bite me and you're surely dead.
What am I?
