2. A time when I'm green. A time when I'm brown. Both of these times cause you to frown. Just in between, for a very short while, I'm perfect and yellow and cause you to smile. What am I?

Answer: banana

3. With pointed fangs, I sit in wait. With piercing force, I dole out fate. Over bloodless victims proclaiming might. Eternally joining with a single bite. What am I?

Answer: staple

Reading through the riddle, if you break it down, you will see why staple is the only appropriate answer. Even though it is the stapler that it sits in to wait to "bite", it is the staple that actually does the "biting" and has the "fangs". Also, it is the staple that does the joining. I know that a stapler is needed to use a staple, but the riddle only describes the staple itself.

4. I can be long. I can be short. I can be grown. I can be cut. I can be bought. I can be painted. I can be bare. Some people chew me. I can be round. I can be square. What am I?
