RIDDLES & PUZZLES - courtesy of Prof. Layton
DIGITAL DIGITS
Imagine a digital clock like the one shown below. How many times will the clock display three of more of the same number in a row over the course of one day? In case you were wondering, the clock in this puzzle displays time on a 12-hour scale, not on military time
------------------------------------------------------------- 33333
Use each of the numbers one through nine exactly once to fill in the blanks and complete this equation.
------------------------------------------------------------- 5 SUSPECTS
Five suspects are called into police headquarters for questioning. They give the following statements. A: "One of the five of us is lying." B: "Two of the five of us are lying." C: "I know these guys, and three of the five of us are lying." D: "Don't listen to a word they say. Out of the five of us, four are lying." E: "All five of us are dirty rotten liars!" The police only want to release the suspects who are telling the truth. How many people should they let go?
------------------------------------------------------------- SINKING SHIP
SOS! Fifteen people are trapped aboard a ship that's going to sink in exactly 20 minutes. Their only chance for survival is the five-person life raft stowed on their vessel. To make matters worse, the waters around the ship are teeming with man-eating sharks, so swimming to safety is out of the question. A round-trip to the nearest island and back to the boat takes nine minutes on the raft. How many people will live to see dry land?
------------------------------------------------------------- 1000 TIMES
What on earth is this message getting at? The following is written on a piece of paper you picked up: "_ is 1000 times _ _ " To turn this strange message into a proper sentence, all you need to do is fill in the _ with a single letter of the alphabet. But what letter could it be? You'll need to use the same letter for all three _ s.
------------------------------------------------------------- OTTF
Here you have a set of small paper cards. On each card is a single letter, but one of the cards is missing its letter. What letter belongs on the blank card
------------------------------------------------------------- THE ODD SANDWICH
Using scraps left over from your breakfast, you've managed to cobble together a rather oddly shaped sandwich. How many times must you cut the sandwich in order to make it fit neatly in the container?
------------------------------------------------------------- BROTHER AND SISTER
A boy and his big sister are sitting around the kitchen table chatting. "You know, Sis, if I took away two years from my age and gave them to you, you'd be twice my age, huh!" "Well, why don't you just give me one more on top of that? Then I'll be three times your age." So just how old is each sibling?

WhAt I fEeL! "Chocolate Colored Font" :)
If only I knew how's it going to be If only when I try to fix things, they became better If only I was certain of how others feel And if only people believed what I say... If I knew how to show what I really felt If I knew how to make people understand If I knew how to make them believe If I knew how to make them happy If making people happy doesn't leave me sad If making them understand doesn't make me an ignorant If making them believe doesn't make me a liar And if letting them know how I feel doesn't leave me numb Things would've never reached that point I know I would be in a much happier place No one would ever blame me for not caring No one would blame me for not thinking That's life ....You're never certain You never know, you're never sure You're not going to live that dream of yours And life would never be "trouble free" You have to live with what you have You try to fix the broken glass You try to collect the shattered pieces You make the best of everydaythis poem reflects about my past actions that cannot be fixed again;"If only" I could make the best of my day to make people surround me make them happy and sometime it makes me feel alone even though I'm not alone; and this poem tells about how could make them happy if the consequence is your own happiness?
