here's an old one to keep us pondering:
This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still possibly won't find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out!

My likeness is twice within bones and tomes.
But i am not of the Jabberwocky,

Well, I am stumped, so I'm gonna give you guys another one to work on...it's one I came up with myself--so it's probably lame, but here goes! (I'll keep thinking about yours, grim)
I can be found in many colors,
My services can be performed by others,
My pointy teeth won't bite you,
I'll perform one thing that you make me do.
Though many names and shapes have I,
I don't let doubles pass me by.
What am I?

ahh its the wording of the line... 'my likeness'... the likeness of a corkscrew is a helix shape.. 'my likeness twice' a double helix..... appears in tomes and bones.. well im refering to the moust famous of double helix's the DNA... its in bones obviously.. and tomes ( big books of a general scientific nature) also contain many references to and illustrations of the DNA double helix... :D

Yes: he is playing monopoly. The car is his playing piece. When he stops on the hotel (having unfortunately rolled the dice so that he lands there) he will be wiped out by the huge rent.

Perhaps a little. Like most games it is hard to find that line between making it a challenge and making it too hard. If it were too easy then it would be no fun. I personally am impressed that you invent your own riddles. Perhaps I should do some....
In the meantime, here is one that isn't mine:
A metal horse with a flaxen tail.
The further the horse runs,
the shorter his tail becomes.
What is it?

Ummm...well it's a riddle, so it's an analogy, a metaphor, whatever you like. Clearly a needle is not actually a horse and a thread is not really it's tail.
The needle is representational of the horse, the further it goes, the shorter it's tail (the thread) becomes. I can't really explain it any more than that.

Here's a fresh one to start us off:
A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in.
What should have he said?
