These are real riddles...

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows? 

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.

A box without hinges, key or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.

Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.

PM me for the answers

edit: here's a hint "Hobbit"
Who ever answers them all first will get a +1.

good god you guys are retarded. badhq you failed because you refuse to look at it more than the misdirecting way that the riddle gave you
its a 25 dollar meal. they each got back three, then two. thats 30. end. do not say any of that but they paid nine. no, they paid a little more than 8 and got back a dollar each, plus two pocketed. myself, systray, and davidiancox already answered this riddle.

10 bucks each. thats thirty. its a 25 dollar meal. 5 is removed from that 30. the waiter gives them back three, meaning there is 27 left. he keeps two, bringing it to 25. you must work from the correct angle. the one they give you in the riddle is not it.

if you still refuse to see it after three people have repeatedly told you this you are truely retarded. no offense or anything

They think they paid 9 dollars for their meals but in fact they paid $8.33 each for the meal and a $2 tip

Yeah, you almost got me, but no!  You counted the $2 that the waiter stole twice. Systray got the right answer but never really explained what happened to the $30.  Look at it this way: Given $30, the restaurant gets $25, the waiter gets $2, and the three friends get $3. 25+3+2=30! Tada!

Honestly that was hard, I ran out of fingers and toes to count on.

Who ever answers them all first will get a +1.
1. Time. (ok, this one is fine)
2. Mountains.  (which is kinda stupid cause mountains DO grow)
3. Darkness.  (why does if fill holes?  come first or after?  end life or kill laughter?  i'd say a better answer to this one would be "time" again)
4. Teeth.  (the normal number of teeth in a human mouth is 32.  guess I dunno about hobbits though)
5. Egg.  (call me conservative, but boxes are square or some variation of rectangular)
6. Wind (eh....better than the rest I guess)

Not flaming with the comments.  I just prefer that when I figure out an answer to a riddle I think to myself "Oh....YEAH!".........instead of "Ooh.....wait.......what?"  Cool though.  If you have more post them.

When we said 'Hobbit' he means 'Go read the hobbit' - every single one of those riddles was taken out of teh 'riddlegame' chapter.

This picture of Boris was pulled off of the badhq website. Is it any wonder he is having trouble with this simple equation?

They paid $27 for a $25 meal, the chef has $25 (meal cost) and waiter has $2 =$27 total out of pocket of customers.

3x$10 = $30 - $25 (restaurant) - $2 (waiter) - $3 (3x$1 refund) = $0.....no mystery there.
