That would've been incorrect though, as they aren't in "a tunnel of darkness" (i.e. the barrell of the gun). Could be argued for the 2nd half of the riddle I guess, but I don't come up with the answers :P

Riddle #8

I am taken from a mine, and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, and yet I am used by almost everybody. What am I?

Nige

I'm pretty sure it's lead.

Nige

The wooden case being referred to would be a pencil, hence it being used so often.

Riddle #9

I can bring a smile to your face, a tear to your eye, or even a thought to your mind. But, I can't be seen. What am I?

Nige

Heard this one before. If I remember correctly, it's a memory.

Riddle #10

Alan, Bertrand and Cecil were caught stealing. They were to be punished for their crime but the king gave them a chance. He put a hat on their head from behind. None of them could see the hat on their own head. The king made them stand in a line. Then the king said, 'If you can guess the correct coulour of your hat, then you will go free. These are my hints: There are only black and white hats. There is at least one black hat and one white hat.' Alan could not see any hats. Bertrand could see Alan's hat but not his own. Cecil could see both Alan's and Bertrand's hats but not his own. Nobody answered for a minute. Then suddenly one of them answered. Who was it and how did he know?

Nige

After a bit of thinking...

It would be Cecil.

They're standing facing the way of the arrow below:

------>

Cecil - Bertrand - Alan

Cecil's at the back of the line so can see both.

Bertrand can't see behind him, but can see Alan's.

Dunno if that made sense.

GoLions

That would be incorrect Nige.
Also, as there are only 3 possible answers, you must give the correct explanation as well. Even if you guess the correct person, I'll still say incorrect if you give asn incorrect (or no) explanation.
