This may seem impossible, but think about it.

What is the answer to (a-x) (b-x) (c-x) (d-x) ....... (z-x) ?

The "......." stands for all the rest of the letters up until Z.

zero

Correct!

Explanation to Riddle #5:

you would eventually hit (x-x) which is zero.. multiplied by everything else, you get zero.

we will accept!

We were looking for:
- Godzilla and the smart blonde don't exist (check)
- The dumb blonde would need directions

That's close enough.

I've seen this before and this is what I found when searching for it before:

The answer is supposedly "language."

I don't particularly like this explanation, but here it is: <a href='http://dictionary.reference.com/help/faq/language/g/gry.html' target='_blank'>http://dictionary.reference.com/help/faq/l...uage/g/gry.html</a>
