Ok, nobody seems to be talking, so...

I have 2 riddles. Thought em up on my own. Neither are overly hard.
Get both and I'll make you an instructional video for a trick of your choice. :wink:

1) When does 12 + 12 = 12?
Answer: Hours of the day. (ie. 12 am + 12 hours = 12 pm)

2) What pops up once in a while and is usually both hot and cold?

Answer: Ex-Boyfriend or Girlfriend

* Edit: changed 'always' to usually.

2) My bagel toaster, which only cooks one side of the bagel so that you can hold it comfortably while spreading that oh-so delicious butta and cream cheese.

2) A seal/walrus/penguin? Because it's warm blooded but in a really cold environment? It pops up in holes in the ice to breathe and to waddle.

Yeah Alex. Go for it man.

The guesses have been pretty good so far. Not quite what I'm looking for though. It's hard to get the right wording when you make them yourself. I've thought of better ways to rewrite it since, but I won't. Here's a hint:

You used to see it, but now don't.

Heh, good answer, but no. There's no 'depending' involved.

Also, I changed the word 'always' with 'usually' in the original question, cuz it's not always the case.

Read the hint. :wink:

No, I don't play soccer. Yes, there are competitions. 4 years. Lots of practice.

Wow. Some pretty creative answers. Maybe some of those could work, but not what I had in mind. I probably should've thought it through more.

Anyways, here's a second hint (one that probably should have made it into the original question :roll: ):

Don't think temperature.
