Riddles with Answers, Volume 3: The Eyes Have It

Mike Oberg
Last year, as I was new to AC, I published a couple of articles with riddles. And then I went on to publish many other articles on various topics. I have been amazed at the consistent page views that my riddle articles have received. So, here are some more riddles; they are all about eyes.

Riddle #1: What has three legs and only one eye?
Riddle #2: What has a face and hands, but no eyes?
Riddle #3: What is edible and has many eyes?
Riddle #4: What is dark and has "a thousand eyes"?
Riddle #5: What state has four "eyes"?

From my last two articles, I found that people don't want to wait for the answers, so if when you are ready, here are the answers:

ANSWERS:

Riddle #1: What has three legs and only one eye? A camera on a tripod (Remember, I'm a photographer).
Riddle #2: What has a face and hands, but no eyes? A clock.
Riddle #3: What is edible and has many eyes? Swiss cheese.
Riddle #4: What is dark and has "a thousand eyes"? The night (according to the song).
Riddle #5: What state has four "eyes"? Mississippi. Or the state of wearing glasses!

I hope you enjoyed these riddles. If you would like more, let me know in the comments.

    I must not be in the mood to think too much right now. I pretty much skipped right to the answers. :) I guessed potato for #3 since I never heard of swiss cheese having eyes. Interestingly enough, I just ate some swiss cheese.
