I really enjoyed working on Unreal`s riddle, so I thought I post one myself...

What can make a seeing man blind, make a blind man see, Can destroy mountains, and build castles?

I am not in the position to give you any points, but I would be happy to try my "testskills" on a site of the winner`s choice.

PM me the solution.

What two digit number when you double it and add 2 leaves a number that when you reverse the digits equals the numbers you first had.

eg.
number 11 so 11+2 = 13
so digits reversed = 31

so it isn't 11

tweety ... you didn't double 11 in your example

eg.
number 11 so 11 * 2 = 22
22 + 2 = 24
so digits reversed = 42

right ?

and now the answer .... heuh ... I'll PM you, so the others can have some fun too

it's 25

2 * 25 + 2 = 52 => reversed it's 25

@tweety
Hey, that is pleasingly surprising! So, do you have the answer?
I still haven`t received a pm.
It`s not that hard, I chose an easier one first, actually there are even several solutions to this riddle.

veribus.
didn't send yu a PM as I thought i would leave it for others to wonder.

there are 2 possible solutions but i like the simple one. A quick search on Google and the answer pops straight up.

I won't ruin it for everyone. But be rest assured i do know the answer.

I will do it then ...

ANSWER: Sand.

Sand can be built into rock, which can build castles.

Sandstorms can erode like water can, and sand on the top of the mountain will tear it down slowly.

A sandstorm will blind people like little else will.

Glass is made of sand; glasses are made of glass.
Just though I'd point that out :P

This is the offical answer ... but imagination and faith are also discussed
