As promised ..the answers
Riddle number One:
I haven't got one,
Nor do I want one.
But if I had one,
I wouldn't part with it for any sum.
Answer: A bald head
Riddle number two:
Black I am,
with seven score legs,
And more than forty men's measure.
I have broad wings,
But lay not eggs,
And what I eat is treasure.
Answer: A Viking drakkar (longship)
The second one's specific answer was Olafr Trygvisson's 'Long Snake'. By way of explanation, the legs are the oars, the wings the sail, etc.
Thank you for playing, and here's Vanna with your lovely parting gifts ...

...well, to mine, it wasn't what I had in mind, but yeah, I guess it'de work...the original answer was that the real prince didn't want to, because he was a hermophiliac (at least I think that's what they're called) and the elder guy remembered that

I have some riddles that are pretty old. All but the first two should be easy to answer.
What has four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three at night?
Men do this standing up, women do this sitting down, and dogs do it on three legs.
What runs on the floor without any legs?
What is in seasons, seconds, centuries and minutes but not in decades, years or days?
Looking at a picture a man says "Brothers and sisters I have none but that man's father is my father's son." Whose picture is it?
Two US coins total $.55. One is not a nickel. What are they?
A rabbit, chased by a dog, ran from a carrot patch into a nearby woods. How far did he run into the woods?
Julius Caesar was given a gold coin dated 48 BC. He immediately knew it had to be counterfeit. How?
In the United States, is it legal for a man to marry his widow's sister?
How many months have 27 days in them?
A farmer takes two dozen apples from three dozen. How many does he have?

Julius Caesar was given a gold coin dated 48 BC. He immediately knew it had to be counterfeit. How?
48 BC? So they knew Christ would be born exactly 48 years later? The person who made the coin couldn't have known that Christ would be born in 48 years.
How many months have 27 days in them? of them

A man marries a woman. The woman dies. He then marries the woman's sister. The man then dies himself. At this point, his first wife posthumously becomes his widow's sister, and the man was undoubtedly married to her.

*Peeing(good but NO) Shaking hands is the orig. answer!
- Two US coins total $.55. One is not a nickel. What are they?
*It's: One nickel, one fifty cent piece. (One of them really isn't a nickel. )
- A rabbit, chased by a dog, ran from a carrot patch into a nearby woods. How far did he run into the woods?
*The rabbit ran 1/2 way into the woods, after 1/2 way, it's running 'out' of the woods.
-In the United States, is it legal for a man to marry his widow's sister
*That's a good anwswer ratnap, but orca_sk's right, at the time he married, he couldn't have married his widow's sister.
