 = 1. I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind. What am I? = 2. The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I? = 3. I can be cracked, made, told, and played. What am I? = 4. What has keys but can't open locks? = 5. I have cities, but no houses. I have mountains, but no trees. I have water, but no fish. What am I? = 6. I fly without wings. I cry without eyes. Wherever I go, darkness follows me. What am I? = 7. What has a heart that doesn't beat? = 8. I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have a soul but no body. What am I? = 9. I have keys but no locks. I have space but no room. You can enter, but you can't go inside. What am I? = 10. I have cities, but no houses. I have mountains, but no trees. I have water, but no fish. What am I? = 11. I am taken from a mine, and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, and yet I am used by almost every person. What am I? = 12. I'm tall when I'm young and short when I'm old. What am I? = 13. What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?  Left to solve: 8, 9

Remi and others with the same question/comment. #5 and #10 are and do appear the same but each has a different solution. Flotsam got one of the solutions...given the riddle what would be another solution.  Good solves by everyone else
