Again no, the second one you're close to though.

Yes, it was Certainly.  Good for you!

No "moss" doesn't solve any of the riddles.

Okay, this is an additional riddle but one I made up.  Guess the word:

Lee the knight in light brown armor.

Hole is correct, but numbers 2 and 3 aren't.

I'm interested in seeing if anyone can answer #3 actually.  To be fair, I don't fully get the reasoning behind it either.

Hair is correct.

1. It can hold you,
But you cannot hold it.
And the more you remove,
The bigger it will get.

2. It asks no questions,
But demands many answers.
Don't know it until you
Are ready to see what waits
On the other side.

3. You can spin, wheel, and twist
But it can turn without moving.

"Holes" and "Eggs" are correct.  I admit the second one is kind of unfair.

Hint 1:

Spoiler

Kingdom Fools just means humans.

Hint  2:

Humans typically gain this as they get older.

Hint 3:

Mice could be used in lieu of Kingdom Fools.

Victory actually, but you've generally got it.

1. A barrel of rainwater
weighs twenty pounds
What must you add
to make it weigh fifteen?

2. Kingdom fools are born without,
A lot of this, there is no doubt.

3. They go up white, but come down yellow and white.

Very good!  You're correct.  Now someone needs to finish #2.  The answer is pretty simple once you get it.

Interesting ideas of how to answer the riddles but no.

"Rust" is correct.

No they're not from Baldur's Gate.  They're from

Betrayal at Krondor

if you must know but don't go looking up the answers if you didn't know this.

If you found those THAT easy, then these next ones will be done in no time:

1. It can pierce the best armor,
And make swords crumble with a rub.
Yet for all its power,
It can't harm a club.

2. With this one thing alone,
You will have defeated even the strongest foe.

3. He got it in the woods and brought it home in his hand
because he couldn't find it.
The more he looked for it the more he felt it.
When he finally found it he threw it away.

Both are answered correctly!

Okay now:

1. The strongest chains will not bind it.
Ditch and rampart will not slow it down.
A thousand soldiers cannot beat it,
It can knock down trees with a single push.

2. Brothers make it rain,
Kingdom rivers crimson pain.

3. Today he is there to trip you up.
And he will torture you tomorrow.
Yet he is also there to ease the pain,
When you are lost in grief and sorrow.

#3 Was answered the way that it is in the book.  However, 1 and 2 are only close but not quite there.

Well, great answers everyone.  I never realized just how broad the answer could be.  The one I was thinking of was "N.M.E." which if spoken out loud gets "Enemy."

Okay, going back to the other way I was doing this:

An untiring servant it is,
Carrying loads across muddy earth.
But one thing that cannot be forced,
Is a return to the place of its birth.

With sharp edged wit,
And pointed poise,
It can settle disputes,
Without a noise.

Power enough to smash ships and crush roofs.
Yet it still must fear the sun.

These three letters represent the one you never want to meet.

Yes, you got it.

Okay to help rekindle interest here's one just for fun.  There's no actual answer to the riddle but I'd like to see what people say about it.  Bill Watterson's popular character was the first to ask this riddle and it was this:

"What's the difference between a garden slug and a two-inch long living booger?"

Can't solve the riddle but here's one from me:

Gee, I should go on a quest to change it to this:

To answer the riddle, I think it's precipitation.  Water going up and snow going down.

Now here's one that may re-kindle interest.  This isn't so much a riddle as a puzzle but translate this to more understandable terms:

"The female contributor of the deoxyribonucleic acid of my biological genetic makeup was quite the well pleased member of the following base of your suburban life partner's melodious orations."

Hint: This is being spoken to a man.
