Another easy one, assuming you know the Constitution: No matter who he shoots, the one remaining is the President. (Presidential succession goes right down the line in the order listed.)

Someone else can have the next one.

What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?


(And please don't answer without giving a riddle in return; it breaks the rules, and is a doggone good way to kill a thread)

A towel

The one who makes it, sells it. The one who buys it, never uses it. The one who uses it never knows he's using it. What is it?

1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

The next sequence is...

1113213211

I answered the question fully. So I can then honestly ask the following as my riddle -

Why is this sequence correct?

I'll even give you the next sequence....

31131211131221

31131211131221

the next line would be
13211311123113112211

the first term is 1, which has "one 1" in it, therefore 11.
11 has "two 1's" in it, therefore 21.
21 has "one 2 and one 1" in it and therefore 1211.
and so on and so on...

I live above a star, and yet I never burn,
I have eleven neighbors, and yet none of them turn,
I am visited in sequence, first, last or in between,
PRS (& sometimes Q) are my initials,
Now, tell me what I mean.
