Sir Graham,
#12 A man was found shot dead in his study. He was slumped over his desk and a gun was in his hand. There was a cassette recorder on his desk. When the police entered the room and pressed the play button on the tape recorder they heard, "I can't go on. I have nothing to live for."Then there was the sound of a gunshot. How did the detective immediately know that the man had been murdered? A dead man could never be able to rewind the cassette recorder to a phrase before his death... #15 Runs over fields and woods all day Under the bed at night sits not alone, With long tongue hanging out, A-waiting for a bone. What is it ? Our adorable and loved team mate/ Man's one and only friend Hairyy4Paws Your team mate ![]() |

Suppose you have a bottle of wine which has its cork secured in the usual way. Without having a corkscrew available to open the bottle, how would you be able to drink the wine? [Note: The solution involves no damage to the cork or bottle.] Push the cork into the bottle. #7 Jack and Joe were on vacation and driving along a deserted country road from the town of Kaysville to the town of Lynnsville. They came to a multiple fork in the road. The sign post had been knocked down and they were faced with choosing one of five different directions. Since they had left their map at the last gas station and there was no one around to ask, how could Jack and Joe find their way to Lynnsville? They could hold up the sign post. Since they knew they were comming from Kaysville, they could orient the sign in the direction that direction. #8 Picture an empty wine bottle with a cork secured at the top in the usual way. Inside the bottle a metal ring hangs suspended by a string. How is it possible to make the metal ring drop to the bottom of the bottle without touching the ring, the thread, the cork, or the bottle while leaving the cork in place and intact? If the ring is made of iron you could use a strong magnet. |

#9: Birds need gravity to swallow. In space, they could not drink.
----------------------------------------#13: slowly pour sand into the hole. The bird will re-position itself to always stand on the sand and will eventually reach the top. #14: 6 days. It carries out 1 ear of corn per day, plus the 2 ears on its head.
Self-defenestration is not desirable at this time.
