Riddle:
A leathery snake, With a stinging bite, I'll stay coiled up, Unless I must fight. What am I?
Answer: The answer is “a whip.” Multiple riddle collections list the solution as a whip for this exact clue set.
Leathery snake: A whip is often made of leather and long, flexible, and sinuous—like a snake. Stinging bite: The crack of a whip delivers a sharp, stinging strike. Coiled up: Whips are commonly stored coiled. Unless I must fight: It stays coiled until it’s needed, then uncoils for use (historically in control, sport, or combat).
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:
I make hair stand on end, whisper between radio stations, and yet I refuse to change. What am I?
Answer: Static.
Static electricity makes hair stand on end. “Whisper between radio stations” points to the hissing noise called radio static. “Refuse to change” uses the other meaning of static: something fixed or unchanging. The riddle hinges on the word “static” having both electrical and descriptive senses.
