What makes the question so confusing, is Tuesday isn't really "far" from Wednesday at all. Thursday, on the other hand, is practically an entire week away from Wednesday, whereas Tuesday is just 24 hours... unless you go by "Wednesday to Tuesday" in which case it makes a bit more sense. ("Wednesday to Tuesday" equals the same amount of days as "Thursday to Wednesday") Yeah, these type of riddles make my brain want to explode.

:lol:
Well I do not find it so confusing... imagine this with me... imagine that you have a clock of week instead of time... and if you move clock wise from Wednesday to Tuesday it will equal the same amount of days when moving from Thursday to Wednesday... which are exactly seven days... but if you move backwards then it would be closer... Easy :mrgreen:

This is all part of one riddle.
"What is it can one person never possess, but two can share?
It can both kill and bring one back to life.
And to some it is the most important thing in the world.
What is it?

Erm... I'll be a little poetic about this question... Love perhaps?

It can be either love or friendship. It's open to interpretation.
But good job, Futch.

Ok... I better post some more.. this ones alot easyer than my last ones... :P
It is the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space, the begining of the end, and the end of every space?
And for those who find that one too easy here...
What's black when you get it,
Red when you use it,
And white when you're all through with it?

For the first one, it's the letter "E" I believe. The beginning of eternity, the end of time and space the beginning of the end, and the end of every space.
For the second one, I'm probably completely wrong but a red pen seems to come to mind. The ink looks black in a full tube, while it's red when you write with it and, once you run out of ink the tube appears "white" (or, more accurately, clear.)
I'll have to give it some more thought and see if I can come up with a better answer.

Nice Elk, however the second one is still yet to be answered.

The second part really throws me off, but I'll say a river?

I second Fliktor's answer on coal.

A river is correct. I'm not sure about America, but we use the phrase "Foot of a river" :| sorry if that threw you lol!
Edit: What is up with my spelling?!

In the US and Canada, at least, we use the term "mouth of a river." As for the other riddle, coal does appear to fit the description, now that I think about it.
