Riddles!
This topic is about short riddles, because not everyone likes to do the larger logical puzzles. If you do like those, then click here.
If you've guessed the riddle, you can immediately post another one yourself. Let's keep it going.
I will start with this riddle:
What is easy to get into, but hard to get out of?
Question: You create your own Where's Waldo game on a piece of paper. You want your friend to find Waldo but they think you might be pulling a prank on them by not putting Waldo on the paper at all.
How can you prove to your friend that Waldo is on the paper without ruining it for them?
(for the people that don't know, where's waldo is a game where you need to find one person in a very big map with many people, click here for an example)
@DarkWolf Tell the friend that either their god or the government said it's true. Therefore, according to the logic in their heads, it simply HAS to be true. No need for proof at all! ;)
@ladylazarus1971
The friend doesn't buy it and is still unconvinced Other ideas?
@DarkWolf One person's belief is another person's proof.... Dunno; proof is such a tricky thing! And thanks for taking my somewhat anti-establishment comments with a grain of salt, BTW!
Is this somehow related to the moral behind the fable of "The Emporer's New Clothes," or is it something simple staring us in the face?
Every night I'm told what to do,
and each morning I do what I'm told.
But I still don't escape your scold.
What am I?
Some use me, while others do not.
Some remember, while others have forgot.
For profit and gain I'm used expertly, I can't be picked off the ground or tossed in the sea.
Only gained through patience and time, can you unravel my rhyme?
Hold me by the neck and I won't mind,
if I get wrong I just need a good wind.
If you want me you better pick wisely,
just use your ears and I'll follow you blindly.
What am I?
I only point in one direction,
but I guide people around the world.
What am I?
Thousands of orphans who lost their old home,
found by others who have lost their own.
To hide a secret that is obvious to all,
becomes even more obvious when the host falls.
What am I?
I'm offered to the loved, and also to the dead. I come in many varied hues, most notably red. My pricks are known to pierce the skin, often resulting in wounds that bled. What am I?

@ravenousPhoenix So smart to figure this one out! Your brain rocks.
Is it a bird nest? I am not so sure about this one, but it made me think of bits of fallen branches, gathered by birds to make a place for their eggs, that subsequently hatch and leave the nest.
A bat and a baseball together cost $1.10. The bat costs a dollar more than the ball. How much does the baseball cost?
