    My existence is fleeting, But my way of greeting, Is a wave of a hand, A piling of sand, Or the dance of an atom, For I am but a single datum. What am I?

    View Answer

    A second (A second is time and usually the shortest common unit - hence fleeting, The way you notice it is the moving of the hands of a clock, sand falling in an hourglass, or more technically the electron vibrations of a cesium atom. And, it’s a single instance of measurement and thus a datum.)

      What you're looking for ... I'll hide it from you. However if you ask, I'll lead you right through. You're tempted to cross me, an act I won't prevent... If chosen too soon, may come with regret. If I'm not there you're mad, you ask for me to be. This time for a change, I'll be right behind me. What am I?

      In times of crisis, I am priceless. I’m illegal, yet permissible. Enemies call me despicable.. But what is my profession? That is the question. Concealed among bureaucrats, who administer resources, diplomats. Researchers and scholars affected, distrust spreads, disconnected. My identity I hide, but with you I confide. Or have I left you eyeless, With my politeness?

      By many I'm used to help children sleep. Seen while shooting, an imposter, not me. Though always around you, til dusk you'll see one. Five points I am given, in truth I have none.
