1. [solved] They follow and lead, but only as you pass. Dress yourself in darkest black, and they are darker still. Always they flee the light, though without the sun there would be none.
2. [solved] I have holes throughout, from back to front and top to bottom to core. More nothing than something within, and yet I still hold water.
3. [solved] Alive as you but without breath, as cold in my life as in my death; never a thirst though I always drink, dressed in a mail but never a clink.
4. [solved] The man who invented it, doesn't want it for himself. The man who bought it, doesn't need it for himself. The man who needs it, doesn't know it when he needs it.
5. The life I lead is mere hours or less, I serve all my time by being consumed. I am quickest when thin, slowest when fat, and wind is the bane of the gift I bring.
6. [solved] A spirited jig it dances bright, banishing all but darkest night. Give it food and it will live; give it water and it will die.
7. [solved] The more that there is, the less that you see. Squint all you wish when surrounded by me.
8. [solved] They come to witness the night without being called, a sailor's guide and a poet's tears. They are lost to sight each day without the hand of a thief.
9. Lighter than what I am made of, more of me is hidden than is seen, I am the bane of the mariner, a tooth within the sea. Speak my name.
10. [solved] I can have no color, though there may be darkness within. I have no weight and hold nothing, and if placed in a container it becomes all the lighter.
11. [solved] Of all your possessions, I am the hardest to guard. If you have me, you will want to share me. If you share me, you no longer have me. (No, not an STD, thanks iago!) [solved] (not by iago)
12. I am free for the taking through all of your life, though given but once at birth, I am less than nothing in weight, but will fell the strongest of you if held.
13. 'twas in the wood that I got it, so I sat me down to seek it. I could not find it no matter how hard I looked, and so I took it home with me.
14. [solved] I keep you weak at the worst of times, but in the end I keep you safe. You'll sweat in my presense, even grow cold. I am rarely found with the bravest of men, mainly with the weak, but without me, you can't tell the difference!
15. [solved] It brings the lost as though never gone, shines laughter or tears, with light long since shone. A moment to make, a lifetime to shed, valued when, but lost when you're dead.
