A black hearted creature with a sting from behind,
Minus my last letter from my name and you shall find;
People believe in my predicting ways
Yet its luck that guides them right.
What am I?

A horse runs an uncertain amount each day. One day, two of the horse's legs ran 30 miles while the other two ran 31 miles. Assuming the horse is normal, how is this possible?

One of one. Eight of two. One of three. Three of four. One of five. Six of six. Two of seven. Four of eight.

There is a Warrior,
Where is a sword?
Peace did he bring,
The fighting Lord.
Shed for him is my fifth tear.
Find it the title here,
Written in but a single word,
An eye is an eye, until it is heard.

What is the word I'm looking for?

It's early for me. I haven't had any coffee but I have to admit, I don't get this one. Could someone explain?

DarkWolf OP November 22nd, 2016

@Mirea

It's all about the first line. "One of one" is the first letter in the first line "There is a warrior"; "Eight of two" is the eigth letter in the second line "where is A sword"; etc... And all letters combined make the answer. smiley

That's basically right..yes There are parts of the world where the summer falls in december. Although for an international community like 7cups this is not too difficult of a question, I suppose smiley

Three travelers decide to stay at a hotel and are told that their rooms will cost $10 each so they pay $30. Later, the clerk realizes that he made a mistake and should have only charged them $25. He gives a bellboy $5 to return to them but the bellboy is dishonest and gives them each only $1, keeping $2 for himself. So the men actually spent $27 and the bellboy kept $2. What happened to the other dollar from the original $30?

@DarkWolf three tavellers supposedly received $1 each from dishonest bellboy. from $25 plus three dollars to be received by the tavellers is equal to $28 but calculated as $27 so is it missing by mistake? (another funny explanation)

@mikhaela

Yes.. the 1$ is actually not missing at all. It's just that the 27 and the 2 can make it confusing. But you actually have subtract the 2 from the 27 instead of adding it. So basically.. it all makes sense smiley

Might be so, but not the answer I'm looking for. There is a bit of a more obvious/straight-forward answer.
