Riddle:
I act like a lamp, but I have the sound of a bee. What am I?
Answer: Bright.
It’s a wordplay riddle. A lamp is “bright,” and the “sound of a bee” is the letter “B.” Put them together: B + right → “bright.”
Riddle:
Start at one and add one forever; I grow but never end. What am I?
Answer: Infinity.
It’s the process of counting: start at 1, then keep adding 1—2, 3, 4, and so on—without stopping.
The total “grows” because the number increases, but it “never ends” because there’s no largest number; you can always add one more.
Infinity is not a specific number, but rather a concept representing something without any bound or end, perfectly matching the description in the riddle.
Riddle:
I can press without fingers, pull juice from fruit, or show you love with a short embrace. What am I?
Answer: Squeeze.
It’s a wordplay on the different meanings of “squeeze.” “Press without fingers” points to applying pressure in general (like squeezing a stress ball or a trigger). “Pull juice from fruit” is literal—squeezing an orange or lemon. “Show you love with a short embrace” nods to a quick affectionate hug often called “a squeeze.” All three clues converge on the action and noun “squeeze.”
Riddle:
I am between things; in teeth, in time, in fences; I can be wide or tiny. What am I?
Answer: Gap.
It’s pointing to “gap” because a gap is the space between things.
In teeth: a diastema is the gap between teeth. In time: a time gap is the interval between events.
In fences: gaps are openings between slats or posts. “Wide or tiny” fits because gaps can vary in size.
So the riddle lists places where “a space between” shows up, and “gap” is the common thread.
