There’s light at the end of a tunnel Which no car will ever drive through. Instead it is stuffed full of cells And may provide a much better view.

Can I say my answer?
I'll put it in black so people not wanting to know my guess can keep to that and people wanting to see can highlight it.

Hmm hard one ill take a guess by saying a glass tunnel? the differant pains of glass being the cells? for instance theres one in london dunno its exact name.
and it might not be right but heres my riddle tis a bit easy:
A horse travels the same distance every day.
Oddly, two of its legs travel 30 miles each day and the other two legs travel nearly 31 miles.
It would seem that two of the horse's legs must be one mile ahead of the other two legs, but of course this can't be true.
Since the horse is normal, how is this situation possible?

Here's my guess, Danny: ---> flashlight <----
And for Sean's riddle above, how about this attempt: ---> the horse runs laps around a race track; the outside legs travel farther than the inside legs <----

Seans riddle the answer I thought ----->the horse is a circus horse makes circles around his behindlegs <------
my riddles Lighter than what I am made of, more of me is hidden than is seen, I am the bane of the mariner, a tooth within the sea. What am I? (should be easy)
I can have no color, though there may be darkness within. I have no weight and hold nothing, and if placed in a container it becomes all the lighter. What Am I? (should be harder)

@ Ranger:
Riddle one: --->Iceberg<---
Riddle two: --->A vaccuum. No not the household device, silly, the absence of substance<---
@ Spanner:
--->The horse is a draft horse that turns the grinding wheel in a grist mill. Every day it walks in circles over and over again for the entire day, racking up an impressive 30 miles in linear distance (at least on the inside legs)<---
=============================
I walk on four legs at dawn, two legs by midday, and three legs come evening. What am I? (This should be easy. If I think of anything harder I'll post it later.)

Well ill give you that one the answer i was thinking of however was something along the lines of:
The horse operates a mill and travels in a circular clockwise direction. The two outside legs will travel a greater distance than the two inside legs.

I walk on four legs at dawn, two legs by midday, and three legs come evening. What am I? (This should be easy.) Quite so, yes: * ANSWER: ---> MAN.<--- * EXPLANATION: ---> The day is a metaphor for the man's lifetime -- crawling as a baby (morning), walking as a boy/man (midday), and walking with a cane as an old man (evening).<---

Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it, Five in the middle is seen; First of all figures, the first of all letters, Take up their stations between. Join all together, and then you will bring Before you the name of an eminent king.

Actually, isn't that "first of all letters, first of all figures"? * ANSWER: ---> DAVID <--- * EXPLANATION: ---> "D" is 500 in Roman numerals ("500 begins it"); "A" is the "first of all letters"; "V" is 5 in Roman numerals; "I" is 1 in Roman numerals (the "first of all figures"); and "D" is 500 in Roman numerals ("500 ends it") = King David, ruler of Israel from 1011 to 971 BC <---

Telemakhos solved both my riddles Iceberg and hole (vacuum is even better)
========= 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 3 1 1 4 6 4 1
What will be the next line of figures?
Edit found a typo after Macro gave an answer.

Now figure out this next line... 1 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 1 3 1 2 2 1 1 1 3 1 1 2 2 2 1 This one should be relativly easy ----> 1 1 1 3 2 1 3 2 1 1 explaination: you write down what is on the line above it and start with the first 1, so the second line discribes the first like (one 1) third line describes the 2nd line (two 1) 4th line describes 3th line (one 2 one 1)<---- = Marco's answer is correct but not the one I was looking for, so you can keep looking
