Ok... First off, what was the answer to your riddle? If you don't tell me it will drive me crazy. And secondly, if people can't solve this riddle, don't worry, I have plenty more clues....

I am the biggest when I am new
I get smaller as I get older
Water is both my friend and my foe
Who am I?

Here's an easy-ish one:

There is a horse tied to a rope out side of the building. The rope measures 5 feet.
There is a bale of hay 6 feet from the building.
How is it possible that the horse can eat the hay?

Heard that one before, we used to have a "riddle of the week" at my old work place.

ok, try this one:

I am weightless, but you can see me. Put me in a bucket, and I'll make it lighter. What am I?
