I was thinking about sound and waves...aah nevermind.

 

A piece of paper.

 

Paper it is, T2.

 

This writing may annoy you until you find out why it is so unusual, for you may not find a solution instantly. But don't go into a tailspin about it, for it isn't that difficult. But you will admit that it is most unusual. This writing looks so ordinary that you might think that nothing is wrong with it. And, in fact, nothing is wrong with it. But it is unusual, and you must ask why. If you study and think about it, you may find out why, but you must do it without any coaching of any kind. No doubt if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. So start to study it now, and try your skill at finding out what is so unusual about this writing.

 

The word "it" appears in every sentence?

 

Excellent observation, but not the solution.

 

There is no e?

 

Lost Meme has it.

An entire book was written without the letter e.

 

Pronounced differently but spelled the same
I have many meanings from obscure to mundane
In a trip across water I get there before you
In precipitation amazing, a marvel to awe you
One naming of me means to acknowledge the praise
I move fastest in music as the violin maestro plays
Taught to children of all ages, or trip up they would
I was also much favoured by a notorious hood.

 

Bow

 

It is indeed.
In order of appearance;
The bow of a boat (the front), a rainbow, to take a bow, a bow for playing the violin, tying up shoelaces in a bow and of course Robin Hood's bow.

Magpie's turn.

 

O.K., this is a bit more numerical, but what the heck:

You have 2 containers of water, each holding up to 3 & 5 litres respectively, and a running tap. How would you use all of these to measure out exactly 4 litres of water?

Shouldn't be that tough.

 

Fill up the 3, pour into 5, fill up 3 again and top off the 5 so now your have 1L in the 3 and 5L in the 5, empty the 5 and pour the 1L from the 3 into it. Then fill up the 3 and pour it into the 5, giving you 4L in the 5L container

 

Bingo! Have a shiny one Dalveen.

 

A true story: a white horse jumped over a tower and landed on a priest, who immediately disappeared from the landscape.
Where did this take place?

 

On a Chess board

 

Well done.

 

You are standing in front of a room with one lightbulb inside of it. You cannot see if it is on or off. Outside the room there are 3 switches in the off positions. You may turn the switches any way you want to. You stop turning the switches, enter the room and know which switch controls the lightbulb. How?

 

Either keep turning the switches into the different positions until you walk into the room and the light is on. Or you can take out your handy Volt meter and test the wires

That turn the switches until you see the doorframe illuminated...

 

You enter the room only once and you cannot see if the light is on or off from outside the room.
