To save everybody having to go back, here are the currently 'open' puzzles ....
I am related to the water, but I am not wet.
I am related with a shadow but I am multi-coloured.
I am an illusion yet I show what is real.
What am I?
A man was just going about his job when his suit was torn. He died three minutes later. Why?

You died and came in the purgatory. The purgatory is a room with
2 doors. Behind 1 is the heaven, behind the other the hell.
You've got no idea behind which door the heaven is and there is no chance to go back after you have opened a door. To get a chance in coming into the heaven god sends 2 guards. 1 in front of each door.
One of the guards is always telling the truth and the other one always lies. You've now got the opportunity to go to one guard and ask him one question. What do you ask him?

Is it that if you write the numbers in word form, they are all in alphabetical order? And it's the only number that does this?
Eight
Five
Four
Nine
One
Seven
Six
Three
Two
Zero
...?

Back in the days before electricity, Jim lived on his own in an isolated cottage in the country. He woke up one day to find that he had forgotten to wind up his large grandfather clock the day before. Because of this oversight, it had now stopped and, since he had no other means of telling the time, he had no idea what time it was.
He remembered that someone had told him that there was a village a few miles away that had a clock in the square. He wasn't sure how far away it was but he didn't think that it was too far. Being a nice day, he decided he would walk to the village and see what time it was.
As he walked along, enjoying the sunshine, he wished he had bothered to learn how to tell time by the position of the sun or perhaps invested in the purchase of a sundial.
When Jim got to the village square, he checked the clock and because it was a long walk, he rested for a while on a bench under the clock tower. As it was warm and peaceful, he fell asleep and, an hour or two later, he was awakened by a duck quacking in a pond on the other side of the square. "Oh, it is getting late, I'd better get home," he said to himself and set off for his cottage.
On arriving home (well before sunset thank goodness) he went straight to his clock and set the correct time.
How did he know what time to set?
No need to rush with this one as I'm totally shattered and probably won't be back on till late tomorrow even if you get it in a couple of minutes....

Did he know what time of year it was, therefore he knew what time the Sun went down, so he could set the clock?

Nice one trev. No I haven't got it yet ... but it has been so long since I've had a chance to solve one (most of the recent ones, I already knew the answer) I couldn't resist posting
Looks like a play on words one that so might take me a while .... *reaches for thesaurus* ... I'll get back to you when I come up with a possibility
