#6 I arrive once in every second, once in every minute and once in every year. What am I?

#7 If you have me, you want to share me. If you share me, you haven't got me. What am I?

#8 How could a cowboy ride into town on Friday, stay two days, and ride out on Friday?

SOLUTIONS (Highlight the spaces between asterisks)
#1 *stop imagining*
#2 *Yes, I have to be lying, because if I were not, my statement would be true, meaning it would have to be a lie, thus becoming a paradox. However, I can be lying about some things, and this is one of them.*
#3 *They are palindromes - they read the same forward and backwards.*
#4 *An umbrella!*

#9 *A Coffin.*
#10 *A clock.*
