The person who builds it doesn't want it. The person who buys it doesn't need it either. The person who uses it doesn't even know he is. What is it?

A Coffin or Headstone perhaps?

A horse is tied to a rope five meters long. There is a barn filled with hay 6 meters away yet the horse can get up and eat the hay whenever he wants. How can that be?

Two possibilities: either the rope was tied to the horse's tail or (more likely) the other end of the rope wasn't tied to anything



Headstone was correct & The rope was tied to nothing

A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?

She shot him with a camera i.e. took his picture?

Coal?

Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day


Edit: Thought about the missing answer a bit more

There is a circular dungeon with solid stone walls, ceiling and floor. There are no windows and only one door. The door has a sliding viewing slit from which all parts of the room can be seen. From the center of the ceiling dangles a light bulb.

Outside the door is a (fully functioning) alarm button within easy reach from the viewing slit.

At 8:00 am three prisoners are placed in the cell, the door is locked and the light is turned off throwing the whole cell into total darkness.

At 12:30 pm the light is turned on and the viewing slit is opened. Looking around the (now illuminated) cell, I can only see two people. I do not raise the alarm. The slit is closed and the light is again turned off.

At 6:00 pm the process is repeated and I still don't raise the alarm.

At 8:00 pm the light goes on and the door is opened for the first time since 8:00am to feed all the prisoners.

Why didn't I raise the alarm at 12:30 pm and 6:00 pm and how many prisoners are fed at 8:00 pm?

Edit: Typos only

The 'I' mentioned in the riddle is one of the prisoners? And is therefore looking out the slit at various guards?

Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?

Jack and Jill are lying on the floor inside the house, dead. They died from lack of water. There is shattered glass next to them. How did they die?
