Only one color, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies.
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
What is it?

Each burns for one hour, or collectively?
Basically i would say take one of the pieces of string and set it alight on both sides, and light one end of string on the other bit of string. So Basicaly String A has both ends lit and B only 1. When A has burnt out it would have taken 30mins. By this time also B wouls have half burnt. Now set alight B from the other end and it would take 15mins to burn the rest of the string since it halves half way 
. So you have 45mins.
. So you have 45mins.... Yep Ill put in a series of them this time see how long it takes you to do em
A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse? Give a reason.
Mr. Grumper grumbles about bad time-keeping trains like everybody else. On one particular morning he was justified, though. The train left on time for the one hour journey and it arrived 5 minutes late. However, Mr. Grumper's watch showed it to be 3 minutes early, so he adjusted his watch by putting it forward 3 minutes. His watch kept time during the day, and on the return journey in the evening the train started on time, according to his watch, and arrived on time, according to the station clock. If the train traveled 25 percent faster on the return journey than it did on the morning journey, was the station clock fast or slow, and by how much?
Final one for now
After teaching his class all about roman numerals (X = 10, IX=9 and so on) the teacher asked his class to draw a single continuous line and turn IX into 6. The only stipulation the teacher made was that the pen could not be lifted from the paper until the line was complete.

No.
All objects have mass: Gas liquid and solid. Because it is a truck, it must have fuel. Fuel is a liquid. When it is burned, you lose that mass as it becomes a gas and permeates into the air. This causes the truck to lost mass, bringing its weight below 7 tonnes. Because it drove half a mile, and is, after all, a large truck, the assumption is that it burns enough fuel to lose enough weight, so that the truck+remaining fuel+bird would still weight just under 14000 lbs
The morning journey took 65 minutes, so the evening journey took 52 minutes. If the train arrives "on time" by the station clock, it must have left 8 minutes early (according to that clock) - but according to the watch, it left on time. The clock is 5 minutes faster than the watch. So the station clock is 3 minutes fast. I think.
