I'm still trying to figure out the Peas and Lentil one!

We will start out with an easy one -

#1.

I am feared by many people;

but scramble my letters

and I become hated.

What am I?

#2.

I can be straight or not

I can be flat or round

I have three layers

The rounder I am - the straighter I am

I can be a person's trademark

I can be chemically challenged

What am I?

#3

Born at the same time as the world, destined to live as long as the world, and yet never five weeks old.

What am I?

#4

What is always coming but as soon as it gets here it's gone? never arrives? "Tomorrow."

Two children, who were all tangled up in their reckoning of the days of the week, paused on their way to school to straighten matters out.

"When the day after tomorrow is yesterday," said Priscilla, "then ‘today' will be as far from Sunday as that day was which was ‘today' when the day before yesterday was tomorrow!"

On which day of the week did they have this conversation?

#5

Seven letters are we,

Four different words we make.

Guess us or be ridiculed;

Your reputation's at stake.

The first has pictures,

Paintings and such.

The second causes sneezing,

From ragweed or dust.

The third is an adverb,

It's hard to explain

It's the same as immensely

But it's much more plain.

If you can act like a king,

this word you will sing.

These clues are sparse

This riddle may be tough.

But if you are smart

Then it will be enough

What words are we?

#6

Try to guess just what I am. You'll find me in the middle.

I'll give you clues so you can guess the subject of this riddle.

I am truly an ingredient in a thing you love to eat,

And yet you do not eat me, for I'm neither plant nor meat.

I do not add a flavor. I am not checked for weight.

And yet I am in tasty treats, as they lie upon your plate.

If bakers do not use me, then something else, usually,

Is used to occupy that space that isn't used by me.

Although I'm quite important, no one, for goodness sake,

Checks to make sure that there's enough before they start to bake.

The origins of my first use cause men to search and ponder

For reasons why I'm used at all. "Why is it there?" they wonder.

There are a lot of theories as to why I came to be.

The fact that you expect me there is reason enough for me.

So eat me and enjoy me, though in fact you can do neither.

I add nothing much at all, and I don't add calories, either.

What am I?

#7

My first is in cater, but not in skater.

My second is in tour, but not in sure.

My third is in small, but not in crawl.

My fourth is in tomb, but not in loom.

What am I?

#8

What is always coming but as soon as it gets here it's gone?

What am I?

#9

Screaming, soaring,

Seeking sky

Flowers of fire,

Flying high

Blue, green, red, gold

Gaze at me in the night

An amazing feat,

I give out light

Eastern art,

From ancient time.

Name me now,

And solve this rhyme.

What am I?

#10

I can run swiftly and silently when you want me to stay still,

I can move slowly and cautiously and am yours to fill.

You look at me often and yet you always forget me,

I am the most feared killer, yet you can't live without me.

Sometimes you have me for all to spare,

Yet when you need me, I am not there.

You can waste me, or cherish me, you choose the track,

But once you're done you can never get me back.

What am I?

#11

A poor farmer went to the market to sell some peas and lentils. However, as he had only one sack and didn't want to mix peas and lentils, he poured in the peas first, tied the sack in the middle, and then filled the top portion of the sack with the lentils. At the market a rich innkeeper happened by with his own sack. He wanted to buy the peas, but he did not want the lentils. Pouring the seed anywhere else but the sacks is considered soiling. Trading sacks is not allowed. The farmer can't cut a hole in his sack.

How would you transfer the peas to the innkeeper's sack, which he wants to keep, without soiling the produce?

#12 Ending with an oldie but goodie

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?

Answers

#1. Death

#2. Hair

#3. The Moon

#4. Sunday

#5. Gallery, Allergy, Largely and Regally

#6. I am the hole in a doughnut.

#7. Comb

#8. Tomorrow

#9. Fireworks

#10. Time

#11. Pour the lentils into the innkeeper's sack, bind it with a twist and turn inside out. Pour in the peas. Then unbind the sack a pour the lentils back to your sack.

#12. Each person paid $9, totaling $27. The manager has $25 and the bellboy has $2. The bellboy's $2 should be added to the manager's $25 or subtracted from the tenants' $27, not added to the tenants' $27.
