What is this? |
Is it an object of constant dimensions? In other words, does this 'thing' have a definite shape or form (i.e. a solid, not a gas,...)?
This may be tougher than Bart's one

Good question. Yes, it is always in the same shape/form.
And is a solid.

Okay, I think I've got most of it worked out: My conclusion is that it's a die (the one used in boardgames).
The amount of dots shown on the die is always 1 to 6
| QUOTE | | it's always 15 to 20, |
I think this is referring to the sum of all visible dots, which is 15 to 20 after the die is rolled
Possibly this is referring to the amount of sides shown after it's rolled?
| QUOTE | | but it's never 21, unless it's flying. |
Here's the part that I don't understand. Granted, the number of dots visible is never 21, because 1+2+3+4+5+6 = 21, but "unless it's flying"?  Maybe it means flying in the air... 
Jerry, perplexed

21 is because each opposing side adds up to 7. There are three pairs of sides, so it's 7x3 = 21. Try it. Grab a die, and look at a number. Flip it over 180° and add the first side to this other side. Seven, yes?
By my calculations, this is right. However, Drie's the one to know the answer.

You're correct Jerry and QuickHare! Nicely done. | QUOTE | "It's always 1 to 6": the numbers on the faces of the dice,
"it's always 15 to 20": the sum of the exposed faces when the dice comes to rest after being thrown,
"it's always 5": the number of exposed faces when the dice is at rest,
"but it's never 21": the sum of the exposed faces is never 21 when the dice is at rest,
"unless it's flying": the sum of all exposed faces when the dice is flying is 21 (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6). |

As Jerry did the main bulk, he can post next. I'm fresh out of ideas, too.

Here's an easier one: | QUOTE | The shape of my form will waver and bend,
From the things I'm destroying
and the things I will rend.
My color will vary from bright red and blue,
The power I'm using will dictate my hue.
What am I?

 Me? late with a riddle NEVER!  Right here goes... The area is Notting Hill, we zoom into a broad street, with grand houses along each side, the type of place that atracts profesional people. We move closer and stop outside one of the houses. This house happens to be a shared house and inside live a Doctor, a Lawyer, a Professor, A Stock Market Broker, and the Local Butcher. Standing on the steps we can hear an argument in progress, from the volume, it's sound like a heated one, so we wave over a passing Police Man. Just as the police man is about to enter the house a cry rings out... "No John, DON'T SHOOT!" followed by the crack of a gunshot, then shocked silence... The police man carefully enters the house, and procedes to arrest the Butcher. Why?
