Q1. Change 2 of my letters, and you have a type of imaginary circle. Should you capital-ize and remove the last letter, you would cease. I was once part of an empire that could be described in the same way as many soups and vegetables you will find in grocery stores. What am I?

--Ecuador.. changing 2 letters gives u equator (..an imaginary circle).. Ecuador's capital is Quito.. and removing the last letter "o", gives u quit (..meaning cease).. The last part i cen't understant.. Ambot unsay pasabot ana..ú

There once was an evil wizard. He took 3 woman from their homes and turned them into rose bushes that looked exactly alike. He put them in his garden. One of the woman had a husband and children and begged the wizard to let her see them. He agreed. At night, he brought the woman to her house. In the morning he came and took her home. One day the husband decided to go rescue her. So he snuck into the wizard's garden. He looked and looked at the 3 identical rose bushes trying to figure out which could be his wife. Suddenly, he knew the answer and he took his wife home. How did he know which rose bush was his wife?

Brainteaser: Naay pultahan padulong Heaven ug a pultahan to Hell. Naay duha ka tawo nga nag-guard sa door. Ang tawo nga nagguard sa Heaven mustorya ra ug tinuod ug and nagbantay sa Hell mustorya ra ug bakak.

Kung naa kay pangutana ug gusto ka muadto sa Heaven, unsa man imong ipangutana para mabal-an nimo kinsay nagsulti sa tinuod?

lemme just repost this teaser since gaRn wasn't able to answer it correctly, he got the idea though

Change 2 of my letters, and you have a type of imaginary circle. Should you capital-ize and remove the last letter, you would cease. I was once part of an empire that could be described in the same way as many soups and vegetables you will find in grocery stores. What am I?

and here's more:

I am a bird. Remove my last 5 letters, and you have something related to a matrix. Also, if you remove the first letter of a word that I also am, you have someone who is not a fighter. What am I?

You hear it speak, for it has a hard tongue. But it cannot breathe, for it has not a lung. What is it?

Two convicts are locked in a cell. There is an unbarred window high up in the cell. No matter if they stand on the bed or one on top of the other they can't reach the window to escape. They then decide to tunnel out. However, they give up with the tunneling because it will take too long. Finally one of the
convicts figures out how to escape from the cell. What is his plan?

If only one question is allowed for me to ask the 2 guards, then I would definitely ask each one "What will the other one say is the door to heaven?" Their answers should be the same. 'Go in the opposite door they say.'

Answer lang ko sa part na wala na-answeran: I think it's the Incan Empire sa Peru -- of course Incan or in+can or de-lata.. that's what you find sa grocery store nga butangan sa mga preserved vegetable soup.

merging these 2 answers would be the correct answer for the riddle: Change 2 of my letters, and you have a type of imaginary circle.....

Ecuador.. changing 2 letters gives u equator (..an imaginary circle).. Ecuador's capital is Quito.. and removing the last letter "o", gives u quit (..meaning cease).. The last part i cen't understant.

I think it's the Incan Empire sa Peru -- of course Incan or in+can or de-lata.. that's what you find sa grocery store nga butangan sa mga preserved vegetable soup.

in other words,

ANSWER: Ecuador. The "imaginary circle" was the equator, "capital-ize" related to Ecuador's capital, Quito. Remove, the 'o' and you get quit ("cease"). The "empire" hint was the Incan Empire, or in-can, like soups and vegetables in a grocery store.
