Some Riddles
If I eat, I grow; If I drink, I die. By my life you live; in my life you cry.
- Fire
Without me, you would crawl; with me you stand tall; too much of me and you fall.
- Pride
Forget the darkness, look to me for light. Burning, blazing, I am always bright.
- Sun
Color and hue, I'm endless and blue.
- Ocean
None can escape me. When I come, darkness covers all.
- Night
I saw a battle between griffons and hippogryphs. Each race had male and female members involved in the battle. Each member of both races attacked every member of the other race once. When a male griffon attacked a male hippogryph, they would swipe with their claws. When a male and a female fought, or two females fought each other, they would bite. I witnessed 21 pairs swipe, while 34 pairs bit each other. How many male creatures and how many female creatures were fighting?
Person A's admiration for Person C is immense. It is as large as the moon.
Person B's admiration for Person C is infinite. It is as large as the sun.
Who admires Person C more?
- Person A! The sun and the moon are the same size in the sky, but infinite can either be infinitely small or infinitely large! Immense, however, can only be...well...immense!

Actually you got all correct except the Gravity one (and the Night one has another possible answer )
EDIT: And the Ocean one also has another possible answer besides Ocean

Hey! I think it is pride. Sounds very fitting. Good going Death.

Yes it's pride
Oh and about the last one, you also have to explain because otherwise you have a 50% chance to guess it

Who admires Person C more?
I give up. I know the answer is not "Person B" since it has to have a trick. First I thought that the Sun is not "infinite" thus it is a wrong statement, or am I wrong?

You're right, it is person A, but for another reason
The sun and the moon are the same size in the sky, but infinite can either be infinitely small or infinitely large! Immense, however, can only be...well...immense!
(and don't "bash" me, it's not my riddle (I didn't invent it))

Person C, if it's a pattern.
A +
B ++
C +++
?
or with just logic it's B, the sun is bigger than the moon(but further away). But I'd say C.
EDIT: it even says more not more

No the riddle it's not like that, the order of person A and B is irrelevant

Try this one:
He tells you, yet he cannot talk, but he has a mouth.
He knows what you want, yet he cannot hear, but he has an ear.
He knows where you are, yet he cannot see, but he has an eye.
What is he.

Although i am served,
you do not want me
but once you have me,
you do not want to lose me
Neither bus nor train,
nor cab, nor plane,
i transport you once
and then never again
I have seven letters
the first 2 stand for a boy
the first 3 stand for a girl
the first four are a brave boy
the first six are addictive
but all of my letters together stand for a brave girl
