    After having a quick read, I know the answer to just one of them, it is by far the simplest riddle there. I never was good at riddles.

    I thought we were sending answers on a post card.

    If you were running a race, and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now?
    2nd of course! Unless you were lapping 2nd place, where upon you would be in 1st, and it all depends if you are in the same race as the person in 2nd place, because if you are not, you could be in any position... ok, you get the picture, unless I missed something, that was easy.

    Dang it. Blankwire got 'em all!

    Either he's a veritable genius, or he's a google user. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and grant him marshall status in the thread.

    Congrats, Blankwire.

    (next time, Vito commits to making the riddles much more difficult...)

    graduates figured it out!

    Here's one, it might be because I know the answer, but it seems a bit easy:

    I can fly.
    I was created by man.
    I am seen, but I cannot be felt.
    Spend me doing whatever you wish.

    06 and 60? - Not sure if that counts, or that the son appreciated his fathers 54 year advantage.
