1) What is neither inside the house, outside the house, but no house is complete without it?

 

My guess is the walls. They are not inside, nor outside the house. Thats my guess.

4) 1 door closes, 9 open. When 9 close, 1 door opens. What is it?

 

Hinges, maybe? (Though I never saw a door that had NINE hinges... most only have 3 or 4)

Hmm, maybe the 1-9 riddle refers to a lock and dam? I mean, ship comes in, big door closes behind it, other valves are opened to raise/lower the water level. Get to desired level, shut the valves, the other door opens, and out goes the ship.

1) If there are 7 months that have 31 days in them and 11 months that have 30 days in them, how many months have 28 days in them?

 

 

 

2) How many birthdays does the average man have?

 

 

 

3) What is boiled then cooled, sweetened then soured?

 

 

 

4) A woman gives a beggar 50 cents; the woman is the beggar's sister, but the beggar is not the woman's brother. How come?

 

 

 

5) What is brought to the table and cut, but never eaten?
