Unfortunately Paco, none of these answers are right. Kudos for originality on #3. For #4 and 5, you must use all of the letters.

does that mean that if there are two e's we can use the letter e only once or do we have to use it twice?

2. A child is born in Boston, Massachusetts to parents who were both born in Boston, Massachusetts. The child is not a United States citizen. How is this possible?

4. Joe and Tom and the boys in the bar were exchanging old war stories.
Joe offered one about how his grandfather led a battalion against a German division during World War I. Through brilliant maneuvers, he defeated them and captured valuable territory. After the battle he was awarded a medal that was inscribed with:
"For Bravery, Daring and Leadership. World War I. From the Men of Battalion 8."
Tom looked at Joe and said, "You really don't expect anyone to believe that yarn, do you?"
What's wrong with the story?

3. Men from battalions don't give out awards, officers do.

EDIT- 2.The parents don't live in the States anymore. They came down to visit family and the wife's water broke, so she gave birth there.

2. The child was born before the US existed.

4. World War I wasn't called World War I until much later.

We need more riddles... I have a few ridiculously easy ones lol. I think I learned them in like, third grade.

- What can run, but is not alive, and has no feet?
- What has eyes and cannot see, and respectively, has ears but cannot hear? (That one I heard in Kindergarten, lol.)

Those should keep you going until someone with good ones comes along.
-ViC

a clock?

sounds like another riddle to which the answer is the brain

im out for today so ill leave my unsolved riddles from earlier and check if anyone gets them tomorrow=

4-the knife has no blood on it and there are no signs of a struggle, she was very much alive and too young to die of old age, the knife is instrumental as well, heres some more things that may make it clearer (im remembering this from years ago) she was alive before she went to bed, she closed her eyes never to open them again and died in her sleep of unnatural causes, the police found her dead with her eyes closed in bed, there was a knife laying by her that had been left there by someone other than her, (not sure if the following is part of the original riddle but trust me it can only help) she was much colder than a corpse should be for the time she had been dead, she has not been stabbed, how did she die?-all the clarifications together

5-in a private cemetery there are buried two grandmothers with their two daughters, two husbands with their two wives, two fathers with their two daughters, two mothers with their two sons, two daughters with their two mothers, two sisters with their two brothers, and yet there are only six bodies total are buried here, without any incest how can this be?

Nose is wrong, but you're on the right track, none of the answers are humans or parts of mammal anatomy. Oh yeah, you did the ears, now do the eyes, it's a very similar, first grade answer lol.

guys, guys, we still have about half a dozen riddles left. Go at the top of this one and you'll see that my #3,4 and 5 have not been solved. Also, LostHope's riddles remain unsolved because he's offline and then there''s the ever annoying :

4-a woman is found dead in her bed next to a knife but she has not been stabbed, how did she die?

She slit her wrists? That's technically not stabbing.
What has eyes and cannot see, and respectively, has ears but cannot hear?
A blind and deaf person?

It's not human, Hurley was right with corn, he just didn't answer the eyes part.

Is it the same thing?
