Some riddles?

1) Which word doesn't belong and why?
RED, HAIR, SONG, HOLE, TEA

2) 10 = G's C
(figure out the equation)

3) Think of at least one significant way in which an earthquake could actually benefit mankind.

My answers (Have no idea if these are right or not):

1) RED doesn't belong. It's the only adjective -- the rest are nouns.

2) 10 = God's Commandments

3) cynical answer: if the earthquake wipes a red state off the map?
(very sarcastic, I know)

1. Red is also a noun

:shrug:

On edit: I think the answer to the first riddle might be song - it's something that can't be seen. Scratching head, you can see a hole, can't you?

2. Tea can be an adjective too.

How about taking a tea break.

It's tea time, kids.

the Boston tea party.

To illustrate a few uses of tea as an adjective.

Also, red can be used as a noun as in

Each child must choose a color. Jimmy chooses red. John chooses blue, etc.

Red is my favorite color.

Red is associated with passion.

6. Song

I think the answer to the first riddle might be song - it's something that can't be seen. Scratching head, you can see a hole, can't you?
