Riddle: I am seen in the water and seen in the sky, I am in the rainbow, a jay's feather, and lapis lazuli. What am I?
Answer: The color blue.  Why each clue points to blue:
  • Water: Large bodies of water often look blue because they reflect the color of the sky and, to a lesser extent, water weakly absorbs longer wavelengths (reds) more than shorter ones (blues), leaving a bluish appearance.
  • Sky: The sky appears blue due to Rayleigh scattering—shorter blue wavelengths of sunlight scatter more in the atmosphere, making the dome of the sky look blue. Rainbow: Blue is one of the visible color bands in a rainbow, between green and indigo.
  • Jay’s feather: Many blue jays look blue not from pigment but from structural coloration—the microscopic structure of the feathers scatters light to produce blue. 
  • Lapis lazuli: This gemstone is famously deep blue because of the mineral lazurite.

Riddle: A kid forgot to do his homework. For the home work, he had to draw a goat on grass. When he was in class the teacher found out that he didn't finish it. The boy was smart. He said that he did and he proved it to the teacher. Then the teacher agreed and said that he finished it in an unexpected way. What did the boy say to the teacher?
Answer: He said: I finished it. You see, there is a goat. Goats eat grass so the goat in my picture ate the grass. Now the grass is gone. But since there is no more grass left, the goat went somewhere else to find more grass to eat. That’s why the homework is blank.
