    Nah, the translation was fine. And no, the answer isn't nothing or hydrogen. Try to look at the riddle literally.

    Yes, Boris has it. 29 bullets to you.

    Okay, this one is worth 80 bullets! Every tenth riddle will be worth 80.

    Riddle #10:
    "I never was, am always to be,
    No one ever saw me, nor ever will
    And yet I am the confidence of all
    Who live and breathe on this terrestrial ball"

    Yeah, Rolfwar has it: the future/tomorrow.

    So 80 bullets to him!


    Riddle #11: Today he's there to trip you up
    And he'll torture you tomorrow.
    Yet he's also there to ease the pain
    When you're lost in grief and sorrow.

    Man, that was quick! You drink much, Strelok? :p Nice one, 29 bullets to you.


    Riddle #12: The man who made it doesn't want it for himself.
    The man who bought it doesn't need it for himself.
    The man who needs it doesn't know it when he needs it.
    What is it?

    No, not fire or oxygen. Check the riddle again. :) You guys are close... so close... it's just one specific word.

    You guys are so ridiculously close. Think of the words in the riddle. A figure of speech comes to mind. Definitely something to do with air, wind, oxygen! :)

    Yes, you've got it. "Holding your breath" is the figure of speech I was referring to. That's good, 'cos you were the first to say "air" too. :) So 29 bullets to you.

    Riddle #13: In a tunnel of darkness lies a beast of iron. It can only attack when pulled back. What is it?
