Rain, water, the ocean...they're all so close. I looked this one up and water was my guess. Since you're all pretty close, I'll give it to you. It's a river, and once you look at it, it makes particular sense.

A sunset?
The sunlight piercing rain clouds?
An ocean sunset specifically?
I dunno.

Here's one that's pretty easy without any maths. I certainly don't want to encourage any more of those type of "riddles".
A man was on his way home. He saw a masked man standing in his path holding something in his hand. He turned and ran back the way he came. What did the masked man have in his hand?
Most obvious answer is a gun...which means that's not it.
Man, some of these are really tricky or are very open. It could be a sign that says, "Hey Mister, you left your keys at the office and your wife's been wondering where you are for over an hour." I dunno.

Really, it's not flowers? More specifically, rose petals at a funeral? Or something very close to that?

It's the "masked" part that baffles me. These kind of riddles require out of the box thinking.
This is one I read in a magazine years ago:
A man is slowly dragging himself on the road. He has a thimble in his hand. Suddenly he lifts his head, looks up and realizes where he is: in front of an hotel. Defeated, he shouts "I'm ruined!!" and collapses on the ground.
Explain what just happened.

It was a good guess but it's wrong. :)
And the one with the masked man, I know I've heard it before but I just can't remember the answer.

I figured it out now!
Was he by any chance holding a hockey stick? :)

No.
I've heard Leo's last one, but slightly differently. I think I got to ask yes or no questions though. That seems to be common with the lateral thinking ones.

That's right, I had totally forgot about that! Silly me... So it shouldn't belong in this here thread, as it's not exactly a riddle...

Ok then it's a football. It's gotta have something to do with sports, right?

Well, I've never seen a baseball game, but I know a few terms from movies and tv. Plus all of that sexual stuff about bases, it's a good code.

He was playing a game of monopoly.

I just love how everything is so hard to figure out, yet so obvious once we know the answer.

Don't worry. You're not missing out on much!
A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

Have all the riddles been answered?
Here's a new one I liked:
The man who built me didn't need me
The man who bought me didn't want me
The man who used me didn't know he had me
What am I?
