What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees
Up, up it goes,
And yet it never grows?

a geyser or a steam vent. they have roots that aren't seen on the surface, but supply the geyser with water or the vent with steam. so it is a root. they can shoot higher than some trees but always go back down and they only temporarily grow.

It's mountains. Although mountains grow, but let's not get geological.

Here's one. Tricky I thought.

Cut my head off and all becomes equal. Then truncate me and I become second. Cut me front and back and I become two less than I started.

What am I?

You knew it already or you googled it. That's so dull.:lol:

Ok try this one.

I am present in everyone at some point, however no matter how hard you try, you cannot get rid of me by losing me.
 
Here's one for if Fifty doesn't go:

I come upon you unasked, leaving you in mystery, and the more you can see of me, the less you can see.
What am I?


Re ↓ :wallbash: And I thought it was so simple...
 
Not five? (5-1)/2 = 2, but (7-1)/2 = 3.
Or does truncate mean /3 ?

Seven

cut off the head: even (equal)

trunacte: eve (second person, like adam and eve)

cut off both ends: V (roman numeral 5, two less than 7)
 
I come upon you unasked, leaving you in mystery, and the more you can see of me, the less you can see.
