I think that "The temperature" would be he right answer as the Stairs on an Escalator move.
Also What about Sound Volume! You turn the Radio Volume up or Down, but doesn't move, does it?
New One:- A horse travels a certain distance each day. Strangely enough, two of its legs travel 30 kilometers each day and the other two legs travel nearly 31 kilometers. It would seem that two of the horse's legs must be a kilometer ahead of the other two legs, but of course this is not the case. Since the horse is quite normal, how is this situation possible?
it's going round in a circle so the outside legs are travelling further.
What do the following words have in common?
age, blame, curb, dance, evidence, fence, gleam, harm, interest, jam, kiss, latch, motion, nest, order, part, quiz, rest, signal, trust, use, view, win, x-ray, zone
It is not that they are in alphabetical order!
I have no idea on this... is it related to the number of letters in each word?
Is it that when they're all put together in a list, it's really difficult to see a connection between them? 😃

the answer to gadgets question? Whilst I was engaged in sitting I spied the dead carrying the living. a lighthouse sits on the edge of a cliff & would spy boats carrying passengers
a lighthouse is an inanimate object - it can't see things.
i didn't know we had to be exact about what way we understand things.
the riddle though implies that the watcher is living
