Answer Me This Riddle

[Xero Scythe]

The higher I climb, the hotter I engage, I can not escape my crystal cage.
What am I?

This old one runs forever, but never moves at all. He has not lungs nor throat, but still a mighty roaring call. What is it?

With pointed fangs I sit in wait,
With piercing force I dole out fate,
Over bloodless victims proclaiming my might,
Permanently joining by my single bite.
What am I?

the second sounds like time or brotherhood.

Sorry to say, but not even close.

runs forever... oh jeez! /facepalm/ its a waterfall!

your 3rd is a stapler and your first is mercury in a thermometer.

In a mad kingdom, the king decrees that his 100 advisers face death.

Each adviser will be buried to their neck, and have a hat placed on top of them. They are all facing the same direction and can see the hats of everyone in front of them. Each adviser will have to declare the color of the hat they are wearing. If they get it right they will be released, wrong they die. The guy in back(that can see everyone) will be asked first, and then down the line. If an adviser fails to declare a hat color, he will be killed. There are only two hat colors. The advisers will be allowed to meet beforehand to discuss a strategy. What is the most number of people that you can guarantee to save.

Fifty, the advisor in the back calls out the color of the hat of the guy in front of him and might get killed. The next guy then calls out the color that the guy behind him called out and gets released.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

You can save more than that.

all 100 can be saved by getting a sucker to tell them their hat color, or they could shake their head to make the hat come off.

You're overthinking it. Good guess, but wrong.

It's not a guess it's an answer. Just because it's not the one you were thinking of doesn't make it wrong. Presumably your answer is that the rope is not tied to anything else.

That would be the right answer. Otherwise you'd have to talk about the radius and not the diameter. The food and water would be 15 meters from whatever the rope is tied to and the dog could only reach ten meters from that point.

Not necessarily, from the wording of the puzzle you have to make an assumption. The food and water could either be 15m away from the pole the rope is tied to, or it could be 15m from the dog is standing at that moment. Ambiguous questions are fun...

Time.

One Time When I Was Walking To St. Ives.
I Met A Man With Seven Wives.
Each Wife Had Seven Sacks.
Each Sack Had Seven Cats.
How Many Were Going To St. Ives?

easy, its 1.


And the answer to the OP is time as everyone has mentioned

 

[Hikikomori Ookami]

Actually I've gotta give ya that one. Can I split my vote on the right answer?

 

[Aunel]

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.

natural gas.
I think...
