Riddles

I cannot be felt, seen or touched;
Yet I can be found in everybody;
My existence is always in debate;          
Yet I have my own style of music.
What Am I?

What word can be written forward backward or upside down and can still be read from left to right?

A woman went to visit her bank manager and she took her young daughter with her. The bank manager said that the womans daughter could stay with his secretary during the meeting. When the woman and her daughter left, the secretary turned to the other secretary and said to her, "That little girl was my daughter." How could that be?


How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25?

So, who is the smart boy or girl with the correct answers? :-) :-)

    "How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25?"

    I think the answer is " only once".
    If you subtract the number 5 from 25, you get 20.
    So you can subtract only one time.
    Correct? :-)

    Hi Tiago,

    smart boy. That is true.
    You can subtract only once, because after you subtract it´s not 25 anymore. :-) :-)
    What about the other riddles?
