whoa.. i had a feeling thisd be a fun thread, but i never expected it to grow three pages in one day.
cool
thanks guys. you make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. (either that or i sat in something)
congrats Fweddie! you were the first to solve my 'black dog and broken lights' brainteaser.
lots of people seem to have gotten it after that.
hehe, no one has figured out the 'olive in stine/ fool's london subway one yet'? or even taken a stab at it? remember, ill take yes/no questions on that.
but i think its time for a hint: the riddle not only tells you how to solve it, it tells you how to confirm your answer.
extra hint: [
not a lot of people know, but people in London refer to subways as 'tubes']

[evil laugh..] actualy i have to work on that one myself. i use to know..
hint on the cless puzzle. this probably comes as no surprise, but its the only thing i can come up with short of giving the answer. think about the way a knight moves. if you want to be set on the right track, go to page one of this thread and check the file bjsm posted. hes got the right idea, but in that particular one, the bottom left and top right ons are attacking eachother.

are you accepting yes/no questions on this?
[
are the windows locked, or are those bars on hinges?]
[
is there some way to use the table and mirror to pry up the hinges of the door? maybe by building some kind of lever.]
is the size of te mirror significant?
is it relevant that the table is made of wood?
