Good with numbers

The Answer: a Keyboard
(Can you guess which flag comes next in this puzzle?)

Line up

Toughest-Riddles-EverTATIANA AYAZO/ RD.COM
This super hard question asks you to determine the relationship between the letters. They seem random: a vowel, two consonants from the tail of the alphabet, two from the front, then two more. What could they mean? What's the pattern? In this case, think of common strings of words to get you closer. But it still seems almost impossible to hit on the solution.
The Answer: E N T (Each letter represents the first letter in the written numbers: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, etc.)

Yours or mine

Toughest-Riddles-EverTATIANA AYAZO/ RD.COM
Some riddles work by getting your brain to go through a series of associations so you get locked in and can't think of alternatives. Be careful with this riddle.

The Answer: Water
(Do you think you're a crossword puzzle expert? Prove it!)

Number line

Toughest-Riddles-EverTATIANA AYAZO/ RD.COM
The math nerds may start thinking about prime numbers or whether seven is divisible by this or that or if it can be cubed and all that. Avoid thinking about math altogether and think about the literal quality of the words that signify the numbers. Remember that hard riddles play with the differences between the literal and the conceptual, or the straightforward and the complex. For this riddle, think simple, but pivot to a paradigm separate from numbers.
The Answer: Seven has two syllables and the other numbers only have one syllable.
