Questions and awnsers are part of this riddle
What is speaking before your eyes?
I'm waiting like nothing live
To happen 1nce inside the world
Cant stumble on my feet just yet
Cant see the sweet and bitter place
I havnt tasted breath of life
I hope one day I'll be somewhere.

Bet b is R or N...
Quote:
Are the boy and the girl standing both on the same side of the road?
If not, they can throw their goodies to the other one and than the girl will go to the jail and the boy to the hospital 
Good guess, but they are standing on the one side.
Quote:
He has to climb upon the traffic light and jump to the other traffic light across the road
And if it's too far? Assume the road is one-way.

You can ask for clues along these lines, but keep "and" and "or" out of the questions. I will answer three such questions.

1) A boy is going to the jail carrying some food to his father. A girl is going to the hospital carrying flowers for her mother. But they are to cross a road, and cars are going all the time with no enough spaces. What should they (boy and girl) do to get to the prison and the hospital? The traffic lights don't work.
2) A monkey is going to cross the same road. What should it do?
Why don't they just share a taxi?

1. The boy and girl should slump over as if dead. Then, all the cars will stop (or at least enough for them to get across the street) and they can suddenly get up and run into the hospital and jail.

OK, the answers.
1) The guy should throw the girl on the road. Then, he'll be taken to the jail, and she will get to the hospital 
2) No problems. Just climp on the traffic light and show your butt! Drivers would think it's a red light and stop.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but is "h" a vowel as well? If so, then I'm thinking the "d" represents e.

No. "h" is not a vowel. (I'd say this is enough clue of this type, but you can ask about how numbers relate to letters.)
