Riddle: A man is standing inside a large, brown circle. Just behind him is a smaller, white rectangle. In full view of many men, women, and even children, the man in the circle openly displays in his hand a small bag full of a white, powdery substance. Immediately, the man spots another man wearing a mask, signaling to him that he wants something the man in the circle has in his possession. The man in the brown circle, who is now standing on only one leg, proceeds to deliver a very small amount of the white powder to the masked man along with a round object. Numerous plainclothes police witness this open exchange, but neither man is arrested for the possession or the trafficking of the white powder. What is wrong with our society today!?! Ignoring crime is never the answer, as it only emboldens the criminals around us; or is the scenario described above more innocent than it appears? Just what is happening here?
Answer: The man in the brown circle is a baseball pitcher who is holding a white rosin bag used to help dry his hand before pitching. The pitcher then sees his catcher (the masked man) giving him the signal for which pitch he is to throw, and the pitcher then delivers the baseball which has a small amount of resin still on it.

Riddle: You use me to hide from the world but they can still see you. Nobody knows but only you do. My exposed side is fake while the other covers your youth. I hold lies and truths in both ways therefore sometimes I am ruth. You wear me with or without your wealth or I can be shaped from wood or chisel and used for stealth. I am never complete without being worn into, for I am a tool that everyone can see, they look at me more than look at you too. I can fake your looks for and from many different things, creatures, objects, insects, and even your fidus achates. It is up to you how I am lune, For I am not the mystery, only though are you. What am I?
