Robyn, hah! "an iceberg" works fine. "Darkness" was on my answer list. But I love yours. "A bannister" is another one not on the answer list but perfect!!!

Sky, you are a hoot. "Call it anything you like, it is not coming back." Hah!!!

best, libby
My favorite riddle is a double barreled elephant joke:
Why do ducks have flat feet?
To stomp out forest fires.
Why do elephants have flat feet?
To stomp out burning ducks.

R&R ;-)
I had answers for 1, 2, 3, 4 & 18 but as they’ve been taken, the only other ones I could even guess at are:

7 - Raw.
14 – Anyone. Buildings can’t jump.
15 – No idea, though I’d guess that hot can get conducted faster. But how do they stack up against bad news?
21 – Inaccurately.
26 – A leaky faucet.
jmac, thanks for sharing that one. "elephant" is one of the answers above.

abra, appreciate your take on these. for 7 the official answer is a bad pun, "medium roar." Kind of a cheat. 15 Hot is faster than cold because you can catch cold! 26 was a nose but leaky faucet is quite good. And Abra 22 should be perfect for you. A bad pun and double the first vowel! best, libby
I'll throw in a couple other silly answers: 24. What did one plate say to the other plate? "Lunch is on me!" 29. Sock to foot, "You're putting me on!" 23. Why didn't skeleton go to party? He had no body to go with. Groan, groan, I know.
10 elephant
26 time
29" I've got you covered."

Groan! But fun!
8 Clean a tuba with a tuba toothpaste!

13 Dental appt. on Toothday!

22 Cows go to the moovies on Saturday nights

28 Clothing of a house is address!

16 Always in the corner but travels all over? A stamp!
