Riddles

you got it.
I've been drawn by the artists these days, and of old;
Yet I'm seen only when all around me is cold.

For most of the time you just live and ignore me;
Then you gasp for me, stop for me, mutter below me.

You might say, in surprise, I've been taken away,
But it's true I've been with you, at least 'til today.

When I leave you, you leave too!

Who am I?

Nope
 
yea new riddle
An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower wins. After wandering aimlessly for days, the brothers ask a wise man for guidance. Upon receiving the advice, they jump on the camels and race to the city as fast as they can.
What did the wise man say to them?

right...next riddle
Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager finds out that the room rate is $25 and gives the bellboy $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to split among three people so he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back $1. So they paid $9 each, totaling $27. The bellboy has another $2, adding up to $29.
Where is the remaining dollar?

not even...
 
Invalid order of operations. That riddle is a trick. It's incorrect, as each person didn't pay $9.
 
yea...
One-Way Street
A girl who was just learning to drive went down a one-way street in the wrong direction, but didn't break the law.
How come?
 
She was in a parade?
 
It doesn't say anything about her actually driving the wrong way down the street.
She could have been walking, jogging, skipping, running, etc, and it would not have been illegal.
 
Our gringo displeased the sovereign with his intrusive questions and was condemned to death. But there was also a chance to save himself by solving the following logic problem. The gringo was shown two doors - one leading to a scaffold and the second one to freedom (both doors were the same) and only the door guards knew what was behind the doors. The sovereign let the gringo put one question to one guard. And because the sovereign was an honest man he warned that one guard is a Swindlecant.
What question can save the gringo's life?
 
That's a more vocabulary-needed version of one that I posted a few months ago... I remember the answer but I'll let someone else say it.
 
He asks the "Swindlecant" what the other guard would say.
