#1- Cannot Be Seen
(A Riddle Poem by J.R.R. Tolkien.)
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.
#2- A small zoo had just mammals and birds. When asked how many of each they had, the zoo keeper said he had a total of 54 animals with a 140 feet total between them all. Assuming all the animals had all the feet they should have, how many birds and how many mammals were there?

August Bonus Riddle
Ray Whitcombe was found dead in his office at his desk. The police have narrowed the suspects down to three people:
Mrs. Barbara Whitcombe, Ray's wife
Mr. Jason McCubbins, Ray's business partner
Mr. Harold Nichols, Ray's best friend
All three visited Mr. Whitcombe the day of his murder, but all three provided the police with stories of explanation as to the reason for their visit.
Police found Mr. Whitcombe with his wrist watch still on his right arm, a torn up picture of his wife laying on the floor beside the trash can, and an ink pen in his right hand. On the desk, the police found a name plate, a telephone that was off the hook, and a personal calendar turned to the July 5th page with 7891011 written on it. After examining this evidence, the police knew their suspect.

Hey, I’m Sydney! I’m from the great state of Texas and I’m sixteen. I’m very active in FFA and theatre. I'm training a llama for show right now and I'll do rabbits again in the spring, I’m the stage manager at my school, and I compete in various agriculture competitions and in the theatre publicity contest. Don't let all that fool you though... I'm pretty lazy, generally.
