Unless it's like an old fashioned 'prison bar' cell which would totally let oxygen in.
It's a lateral thinking puzzle, meaning you can assume all sorts of stuff as long as it doesn't contradict what's been stated.
(I really don't like lateral thinking puzzles. It's not about finding the solution; there are tons, and it's just about finding the specific one the person asking the riddle is thinking of >_>)
Yeah when I saw that first one I thought "Man thats a riddle that just makes me want to hold him down and punch him in the face till he admits he's a stupid idiot for thinking up riddles with infinite possibilities but he only wants one"
They aren't riddles in my eyes, riddles should have a stricter structure with a definite answer albeit a hard to find one. Point A leads to point B which leads to Point C except B is hidden and you need to think about it. Those lateral thinking ones are like Point A to Point Z to point Pi to Point Infinite to point ?.

A thousand feet up in the air, I lie with my back on the ground. What am I?
Oh, and not all lateral thinking puzzles have many answers. The main idea of a lateral thinking puzzle is that not all of the information in a given situation is stated, so you have to try different approaches until you find the most logical answer which fits all of the given information.

Now that is a riddle, not a lateral thinking puzzle :3
...Is it a cloud? That's the only thing I can really think of that could have its back to the ground.
Except maybe a helicopter flying upside-down... ('cause they can do that. I think...)

Well, I actually got it from a lateral thinking puzzle book, so.... And no, that isn't the answer. Try again.

Maya had just finished eating hamburgers at the hamburger joint. Phoenix was worried. He asked her:
"Um...Maya...how many burgers have you had just now!?"
"The amount of letters in your name, Nick. Minus the number of letters in mine, then multiplied by the number of letters in pearlys name." She said, finsihing off yet another burger. How many burgers has Maya eaten?
(we're counting last names)
Also, find the animal in a sentence:
(E.G: Like this: 'I got a maC AT pc world today.')
'He's a fine old chap and a genourous man too.'

Yay!!
Anyway some What am I? Riddles
I run over fields and woods all day. Under the bed at night I sit not alone. My tongue hangs out, up and to the rear, awaiting to be filled in the morning. What am I?
Throw it off the highest building, and I'll not break. But put me in the ocean, and I will. What am I?
No sooner spoken than broken. What is it?
You use a knife to slice my head and weep beside me when I am dead. What am I?

Yup! Although Number three could also be a secret
Two more and Number two from the last lot is still open.
I'm the part of the bird that's not in the sky. I can swim in the ocean and yet remain dry. What am I?
I am mother and father, but never birth or nurse. I'm rarely still, but I never wander. What am I?

Okay, so I gonna post a "Blackstory" now (people from Germany might know these stories already). Blackstories are usually about a murder and such (some stories are pretty freaky and weird, so try to think outside the box). Your job is to find out what happened e.g. how the person was killed or if it was an accident.
You are only allowed to ask yes/no questions and to post your theories. Please, no irrelevant questions, e.g. "Was the victim any good-looking?".
Anyway, enjoy! (:
So, here the first story:
"Romeo and Juliet lie dead on the floor near an open window. Shards of glass are lying on the wet floor. What happened?"

The second one....a die? As in singular of dice.
I'm not so sure about the first one....time?
Well, while I ponder those, here's a new riddle:
More powerful than God, more evil than the Devil, and when you eat it, you die. What is it?
So long, in fact, that all of my signatures now exist behind a paywall.

Nothing. Yeah, I heard that one ages ago, but it still catches people all the time.
NOTHING is more powerful than god. NOTHING is more evil than the devil. If you eat NOTHING, you will die.
Heres a lot more.
1) Round as an apple, light as a feather but 1000 strong men couldn't hold it together. What is it?
2) What force and strength cannot get through,
I with a gentle touch can do,
And many in the street would stand,
If I weren't there to give a hand.
3) (I'm sure youv'e heard this one...)
As I was going to st. Ives, I met a man with 7 wives.
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kittens,
Kits, cats, sacks and wifes,
How many were going to st Ives?
4) Black we are, and much admired,
Men seek for us if they are tired.
We Tire the horse, but warm up man,
Tell me this riddle, if you can.
