Well until lendav_rott verifies or denies my answers I will post another one:
Ask me a question to which anyone can't honestly say 'yes' to.

Just for the sake of clarity I will repost the Enigma:
Ask me a question to which anyone can't honestly say 'yes' to.

Strange wording. If I paraphrase it as, "Is there a question to which no one can honestly answer 'yes'? If so, what is it?," am I asking the same question as you? Or have I altered your meaning?Enigman said:

nevermind. here goes
e: thought of something else, both should work, technically speaking.
Are you dead? If they were, they wouldn't be able to utter anything
e: thought of something else, both should work, technically speaking.
Are you asleep?

We both are in a closed air-tight room with a single door. You have a banana, a shot gun and a box of tissue papers; I have a box full of matches. I give a psychopathic grin and tell you that the room has a 100% gaseous hydrogen as its atmosphere and take out a match to light it. What do you do?

I would ignore you and shoot the lock off the door with the shotgun. If the atmosphere was really 100% hydrogen we'd both already be dead or nearly dead.

100%... I don't think there would be time to grin. 
I would've believed it's the one you talked about if you didn't hum it.^2
Edit: Zshoe beat me to it.

We are alive and asphyxiation hasn't quite set in. The door isn't locked just turn the knob. But since you are so close:
I can't light a match anyway- no oxygen. Best way would be to confiscate my matches and walk out of the door.
And if you are angry enough- shoot the door from a distance with the shotgun and blow me up...

We can hold our breath for five minutes without asphyxiating ...

Next one:
You ask me where I come from?
Then hear me answer now.
My land starts as the world begins.
Only the ending of end now intervenes,
And at last comes the word
spoken when in doubt.
Solve this riddle mine
else remain in doubt.

I do believe zoobie is going to find this queerly worded...
Well, the blame for this riddle lies entirely with Gad.
(Not that I'm complaining, I just got the chance to bore you all with my poem one last time(?)- in return for blowing me up in that room.)

the word you get from the enigma will be needed to be put before 'land'.- Just for the sake of clarity and making it viable to solve.

There's a complication you haven't thought of, and which occurred to me this morning, which is that, if the atmosphere were actually 100% hydrogen, we both might break down laughing as soon as you spoke.Enigman said:
No doubt you've inhaled helium from a balloon and seen the effect it has on your voice. The speed of sound in hydrogen is even faster, and the effect would be more hilarious:

Speed of sound in Helium = 965 m/s. In hydrogen it's 1290 m/s!

The match should still create a spark which is enough to incinerate both people in the room.
If one person says something he will be holding his remaining breath for a much shorter time if he even was holding it in the first place. I don't think either of them are walking, realistically speaking. While H2 isn't as dangerous as pure O2 it should still create unpleasant sensations, not by inhaling, simply with the contact of the skin or the eyes and panic will follow.

A cowboy rides into town on a Friday afternoon. He stays in town for three nights, and then leaves on Friday.
How is this possible?

First think of the person who lives in disguise,
who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.
Next tell me what's always the last thing to mend,
the middle of the middle and end of the end?
Finally give me the sound often heard
during the search for a hard-to-find word.
Now string them together, and answer me this,
what creature would you be unwilling to kiss?

This one is one of my favorites (no googling!)-
A dragon and knight live on an island. This island has seven poisoned wells, numbered 1 to 7. If you drink from a well, you can only save yourself by drinking from a higher numbered well. Well 7 is located at the top of a high mountain, so only the dragon can reach it.
One day they decide that the island isn't big enough for the two of them, and they have a duel. Each of them brings a glass of water to the duel, they exchange glasses, and drink. After the duel, the knight lives and the dragon dies.
Why did the knight live? Why did the dragon die?
