Prime Time Soccer

At the end of the soccer season, every player had scored a prime number of goals and the average for the eleven was also a prime number.  No player's tally was the same as anyone else's, and neither was it the same as the average.

Given that nobody had scored more than forty-five goals, how many goals did each player score?

Shepherds on Hillsides

In every group of shepherds in Hyperborea, at least one is a Sororean, who always speaks truthfully, and at least one is a Nororean, who always speaks falsely.

A visitor approached four shepherds on a hillside and asked each how many of the four were Sororeans. These answers were given:

• Three of us are Sororeans.  
• One of us is. 
• There are two of us. 
• None of us are Sororeans. 

The visitor approached four more shepherds on another hillside and asked how many were Nororeans. Their answers follow:

• We are all Nororeans. 
• One of us is. 
• Three of us are. 
• The fourth shepherd declined to speak. 

How many of the shepherds on the two hillsides were Sororeans?

Fly to Clouds of Heaven

I am a wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven. I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me, even though there is no cause for grief, and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air. What am I?

Shift to Enter

You may enter, but you may not come in, I have space, but no room, I have keys, but open no lock. What am I?

Modern Day Riddle

I am always at your side. To a slab my tail is tied And my eyes are both inside my belly. Tickle my back, one/two/three! Wisdom and folly are yours to see. -http://catb.org/~esr/riddle-poems.html

Moon and Sea

The Moon is my father,
the Sea is my mother;
I have a million brothers,
I die when I reach land.
