1) Blade is the word

BELGRADE without REG leaves BLADE. A blade could be described as "sharpish".

2) Down is a soft feather. Horses have hair so you should not be able to get "down" from a horse. ;-)

3) W-H-I-T-E

5) There are 24 blackbirds left. Twice 4 and 20 is 28 blackbirds so you shot and killed 4.

The 4th one has me stumped, though.

Remember - If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.

I have a bit of a different answer to Question 5 than Hyno's. Twice 4 and 20 is indeed 28. Shooting and killing a seventh part is four. However, at the sound of the gunshot, all the living birds will be scared and fly away. The only birds that remain are the dead birds, so 4 birds will remain.

For Q4, the word "rend" springs to mind. Rend can mean to tear apart, or to stick together. I think. :?:

Sadness is just another word for not enough coffee...
