Dances without music; Breathes without breath.   What is it?   IP Logged packo Guest Re: Dies half it's life   « Reply #1 on: Nov 8th, 2003, 8:48am » Quote Modify Remove I'd say fire IP Logged maryl Guest Re: Dies half it's life   « Reply #2 on: Nov 8th, 2003, 2:54pm » Quote Modify Remove Well that's a nice guess but how do you figure it dies for half it's life? And I believe it also needs air to breathe.

They live in the spring and summer, and die in the fall and winter. They dance in the wind, and breathe... Well it doesn't fit perfectly, but they do breathe in a way.   « Last Edit: Nov 10th, 2003, 5:56pm by Speaker » IP Logged They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. <Ben Franklin> visitor Guest Re: Dies half it's life   « Reply #4 on: Nov 10th, 2003, 5:50pm » Quote Modify Remove the beat goes on; hear the art IP Logged packo Guest Re: Dies half it's life   « Reply #5 on: Nov 14th, 2003, 1:59pm » Quote Modify Remove Maryl, I think every 'living' thing dies half it's life, otherwise all the answers above wouldn't be right. English is not my first language, but I think that the fire dies is the same as the fire stops to burn.   You're right that it needs air, but i't doesn't breathe as you stated in the riddle IP Logged maryl Guest Re: Dies half it's life   « Reply #6 on: Nov 16th, 2003, 9:32am » Quote Modify Remove on Nov 14th, 2003, 1:59pm, packo wrote: Maryl, I think every 'living' thing dies half it's life, otherwise all the answers above wouldn't be right.

I am curious to know how you think every "living" thing dies for half it's life.
