Good Riddles

 

Question: I'm a measurement of time.
But you'll find me on a map, not a clock.

What am I?

Question: Two men are facing each other alone in a large room. There is a clock on the wall. One man, who thinks of himself as a prophet, says to the other, "In five minutes you'll be stabbed in the back."

The other man is very distraught and stares at the clock. After five minutes he is stabbed in the back.

What happened?

Question: I join you in battle, fist clenched tight.
We pound three times with all our might.
If my rival decides he will sign for peace;
I'll crush him, and the fight will cease.
But if he lays his hand down flat;
I'll suffer defeat, that is that.

What am I?

Question: What has feet and legs, but nothing else?

Question: My food and drink were left behind
by ancients from another time.
I grind my feet upon the earth
with strength come from a metal hearth.
My mind is trapped when I run free
when still, it wanders far from me.

What am I?
