Hard F'ing Riddle.

Okay, I just bought Baldur's Gate II (Hey, Heroes 3 has been out long enough, I deserve a break).  Well, there is a riddle in this that is freaking hard.  See if you can solve it.

And if you played Baldur's Gate 2, don't give it away!!!!!

Quote:

A princess is as old as the prince will be when the princess is twice as old as the prince was when the princess's age was half the sum of their present age.



Good luck.

Princess is 40, prince is 30. Lucky guess ;P

Howabout this:

Two brothers we are. Great burnen we stand. All day we are bitterly pressed. Yet this I will say: We are full all day and are empty when we go to rest.

If you name it so shall you break it.

You got it once at birth. It weights less than nothing, but will be felt strongest when held.

I come at night without being fetched, and I am gone at the morning without being stolen.

I have no idea what are the answers to your riddles, but here's mine: Two fathers and two sons had three apples. They ate an equal number of apples, but they didn't split them. How is it possible?

...I agree in my thoughts that the answer to the third is Breath, but I do believe the answer to the fourth is the moon..

...were the last statements you made yet another riddle? ...it seems that it may be an addon to the fourth riddle, but if thats the case, I don't know...otherwise, I would reply to that alone as perhaps the fog...or it seems to me that ignorance may fit the description as well...

Third is correct: breath.
Fourth is stars.

Fifth still needs an answer.

Which avoids sun, but without sun there will be none.

...I don't think there is one concrete answer to the fifth riddle, but I believe darkness would also fit the description...the sixth riddle:  smart human being...

...as to the apples thing, there are only three people, a grandfather, a fathetr and a son...3 people, 3 apples...
