Owing to the mind bending stories that Elena Geiko blessed us with, I have decided to put up some riddles. These riddles will not only challenge your mind but also your English ability. You need to not only understand the riddle but also need to grasp the English concept of certain words. So give these 5 a shot and next week I will add some more. Put up your own variants as well, either in English or Russian or whatever language you prefer. Ready, set, go!!!)))

What five-letter word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it?

What word begins and ends with an "e" but has one letter?

What has a neck but no head?
