Problem Solving - Riddle

1.
My life is often a volume of grief, your help is needed to turn a new leaf. Stiff is my spine and my body is pale, but I'm always ready to tell a tale. What am I?

2.Brothers and sisters, I have none but this man's father is my father's son. 
Who am I looking at?

3.
You are shown two doors - one leading to hell and the second one to heaven and only the door guards know what is behind the doors. One guard is always lying and the other is always telling the truth (of course, you don't know who is lying). You can ask only one guard one question. 
What question can get you to heaven?



4.
If you had a 5-liter bowl and a 3-liter bowl, and an unlimited access to water, how would you measure exactly 4 liters?



5.
If someone says "I always lie", are they telling the truth? Or are they lying?
