Not fair! It isn’t fair, my precious, is it, to ask us what it’s got in its nasty little pocketses?

Hands she has, but does not hold.
Teeth she has, but does not bite.
Feet she has, but they are cold.
Eyes she has, but not with sight.
Who is she?

Iv'e never been able to solve that kind of riddle

[Contrast]

Logic riddles are easy. It's the philosophical ones I suck at.
And driving riddles.
And pretty much anything to do with real life.
But puzzles I can do just fine.

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go?

[Contrast]

It didn't go anywhere. The friends each paid $10, but got $1 back. That means they now have $3. The clerk has $25 dollars because he gave $5 of the original $30 to the bellhop. The bellhop stole $2.

$3+$25+$2=$30

There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

I remember hearing about that. I think the word was "angelical" but I'm not sure what all the meanings are offhand.
a - indefinite article
an - indefinite article
ang - variant spelling of angst?
ange - variant spelling of angst?
angel - mythological creature
angeli - ?
angelic - possessing properties of an angel
Angelica - female name
angelical - possessing properties of an angel

Hmm... The one I was thinking of was:
- Startling
- starting
- staring
- string
- sting
- sing
- sin
- in
- I


But nice call on the Angelical.

This is a classic.

Brothers or sisters have I none, but the father of that man is my father's son. Who is he?

I didn't realise you meant a letter from anywhere in the word. Thought it was in sequence.

This an easy one:what metal pot has no bottom or top but has meat in it?Remember,MEAT,nothing else.

A pot by default has a bottom, ergo you're talking about a metal tube that contains meat. Also what is with the winking face? Trying to imply something with 'meat'?
