Some are riddles, some just designed to make you think.

One still has me baffled:
Think of an object that does not cast a shadow.
Given a source of light, surely everything corporeal casts a shadow?
Sorry, but with the word "corporeal", you could include "burp, voice, and other such :eek: :facepalm:

My apols for not knowing the full extent of the word (not sarcastic, these things educate me!)
But you will admit that despite my gaffe, a burp is not an object and therefore doesn't answer the question.

I think a hole can be the only answer.

A source of light is a good one, but only tenable when it is the only source of light.
A lamp in a room will cast a shadow if you bring a candle in.

You mean I guessed it? Wow! I never figure these things out. :)
