BRAIN TEASERS

I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with wind. What am I?

You measure my life in hours and I serve you by expiring. I’m quick when I’m thin and slow when I’m fat. The wind is my enemy.

I have cities, but no houses. I have mountains, but no trees. I have water, but no fish. What am I?

Answers: 1. an echo 2. a candle 3. a map
