No clue about the second one yet.

I think I need to go think some more....

There IS a solution, no paradox.
And try the second one. It's much easier as I was able to solve it.

Status : Online | Malia, "most males have two" of them. All people have "gums", not just males.
I leave this for solving.
I have no idea about the first one. I think Inland is correct. Noone solved it so far.
www.justriddlesandmore.com in the unsolved section.
I solved the second. At least they have written that my answer was the best so far. It's just wordplay. Try again.

Oh, and Malia was right, then. The best answer was "gums" or "set of teeth". Another possibility is "eyes". But why does it say "most males"? What's the sense of this implicity if it doesn't matter.
Btw: I was the one mentioned, who thought that only males have these two.
My answer was "marbles".
And I still think it fits the riddle best, but...never mind...they are all just dumb and idiots!
They not even posted my solution, just describing it...prudish people!

Guess I won, then, if you take "gums" as a synonymous...

Red herring?
My answer was "marbles".
If it makes you feel any better, that's what my answer would be
I forgot my sig.
