<b>A HAIR-RAISING TALE</b><br />
Given that in the city of London the number of inhabitants is greater
than the number of hairs on the head of any one of them, and that none of
them is bald, can we suppose that there must be at least two inhabitants
with the exact same number of hairs on their head?<br />
<b>DOUBLE JEOPARDY</b><br />
A trial is being held for two men accuses of murder. The jury finds one
of them guilty and the other not guilty. The judge turns to the guilty one
and says "this is the strangest case I've ever seen. Although there's
absolutely no doubt of your guilt, the law obliges me to release you with
no charges.<br />
How can you explain this?<br />
<b>THE SMITH ROBBERY</b><br />
A robbery has taken place at the Smiths house. There are three
suspects: William Roberts, Thomas Jones and Peter Cullpepper. The
detective in charge of the case knows that Thomas never lies, that William
always lies and that Peter sometimes lies and sometimes says the truth.
Under questioning, the three declared as follows:<br />
William: "I confess, I did it!"<br />
Thomas: "Peter isn't guilty!"<br />
Peter: "William's the culprit!"<br />
Who is the guilty party?<br />
<b>JOHN'S FOUR SONS</b><br />
John is the proud father of four handsome boys. The eldest is four
years older than the second, who is in turn four years older than the
third, who is four years older than the youngest. The youngest is half as
old as the eldest.<br />
What are the ages of each of John's sons?<br />
<b>ANOTHER HAIR-RAISING TALE</b><br />
A variation on the same problem: In York these three things are
true:<br />
A. None of the residents have exactly the same number of hairs.<br />
B. None of them has exactly 518 hairs.<br />
C. There are more residents than hairs on the head of any one
resident.<br />
<b>TWO BUCKETS</b><br />
</span><span style="font-size: small;">You've got two buckets of water. The water in the first bucket is 15º
Celsius, and in the second 15º Fahrenheit. If you drop a stone into both
buckets, in which of the two will the stone fall to the bottom of the
bucket?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">1</span><span style="font-size: small;"> A man is writing a letter.
The power goes out and he dies. Why?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">2</span><span style="font-size: small;"> A man lives on the 24th
floor. He goes to the lobby on the bottom floor every morning to get the
newspaper. He rides the elevator up to the 19th floor, then walks up the
stairs the rest of the way. Why? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">3</span><span style="font-size: small;"> A man is in the middle of a
room hanging from the ceiling. There is a puddle of water under his feet.
There is nothing else in the room. How did he hang himself? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">4</span><span style="font-size: small;"> A man walks into a bar and
asks the bartender for a glass of water. The bartender looks at him for a
minute, then pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says "Thank
You!" and leaves. Why? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">5</span><span style="font-size: small;"> A man is lying dead in the
middle of a desert. He is wearing a back pack and has a full canteen of
water. How did he die? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">6</span><span style="font-size: small;"> A man lives in a big tower
with no windows. The bathroom is at the very top, and his bedroom is at
the very bottom. One day he goes up to take a bath. While he was filling
the tub, his cat chases a mouse by the door and accidently slams it shut.
The guy tries to open the door, but it is stuck. He then tries to shut off
the water, but the knob breaks off, and the water won't shut off. The tub
begins to overflow and slowly fill the room. How does he survive? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">7</span><span style="font-size: small;"> A man is riding the elevator
down. The lights go out and the elevator stops. He realizes his wife is
dead. How does he know this? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">8</span><span style="font-size: small;"> Two explorers are traveling
in the arctic. They come across two bodies frozen solid in the ice, and
they immediately know that it is Adam and Eve. How? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">9</span><span style="font-size: small;"> There is a man lying face
down in a cabin, which is in the middle of the forest. The cabin has
windows that do not open. He is dead. What happened? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">10</span><span style="font-size: small;"> Gertrude and Zelda are lying
on the floor, dead. There is glass and water all around them. What
happened?</span><br />

</span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>2.</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> During
his travels in Egypt, the famous explorer and adventurer Alabama Smith
stumbles upon the tomb of a not so famous Pharaoh. Having heard tales of a
priceless idol rumored to lie within, Smith enters the tomb. He eventually
finds the idol, lying on top of the sarcophagus of King Puzzlekhamen!
Letting his excitement get the better of him, Smith grabs the idol, with
the terrifying result of a stone slab sliding across the only entrance
(and exit, for that matter), and a heavy grating sound as the ceiling
slowly descends to crush him to powder. Luckily, Smith notices 5 stone
levers on a wall, each colored blue, orange, red, white, and black. Also,
he sees something inscribed on the top of the sarcophagus (in English,
strangely enough). It reads: "Bore were robe orb." Thinking quickly, Smith
pulls each of the levers at least once in a certain sequence. The ceiling
stops its descent, the slab blocking the exit retracts, and Smith hurries
out with the idol to enjoy fortune and fame. What order did Smith pull the
levers in to save his life?</span><br />

days, the exhausted explorer, adventurer, and escape artist Alabama Smith
(remember him?) enters the cave of the great mystic Istumpumostofall. "Ah,
Mr. Smith, I have been waiting for you," says the mystic. "I will give you
some very vital information if you can tell me what the last number should
be." Following the oracle's finger, Smith sees these eight words carved
into the stone floor in front of him, with a number following each word
except for the last one: grain 3 sorrow 4 preach 4 needle 3 cover 3 cusp 3
lobule 3 voodoo. After rubbing his head for a few minutes, he gives an
answer, and the mystic tells him something that at first angers, but later
relieves him. Can you solve Istumpumostofall's puzzle?<br /><br /><u><b>WORD

an even number of letters, and only one vowel. This is hard! But once you
see what I am up to, you will be elated. One letter in the word could be
used to identify the person working on this puzzle, but from the author's
perspective. Another letter could also be two other letters, if it were
oriented a certain way. Good luck!<br /><br /><u><b>SEARCHING HIGH &

former butler. All that the butler left was a note that read "Can't help a

Linda long at all to locate the diamonds, much to Bigmoney's pleasure.
