A riddle party

"Ooh, this is creepy!" said Cathy, reading out loud. "The man whomade it did not want it, the man who bought it did not use it and the man who used it never saw it. What is it?" "Here's another," said Barry.

A hairy situation Uncle Jack knew that the number of hairs on a human head is at most about 200 000, while the total population of the world is more than 5 000 000 000. Therefore on average, you can expect about 25 000 other people to have the same number of hairs on their heads as on yours. The chance that no-one has the same number is so small as to be insignificant which is why Uncle Jack was smiling to himself even though he had never counted the hairs on Gary's head. "What belongs to you, which you would never want to get rid of, but which other people use far more than you do?" asked Peter, joining in. "I know that one!" said Linda. "What is broken as soon as you name it?" "What animal eats the least?" asked Garry. "What will grow if you feed it, but dies if you give it water?" "The more you take, the more you leave behind. What are they?" Can you say? "You can only holdme for seconds, sometimes you lose me, and yet I am with you all your life. What am I?"
