How?
Why?
Did they explode or something?
Or did they just use to much?
Probably the later.
With closed windows.
No air.
No circulation.
Gassed them selves.

And my tutorials. Will keep on posting.
Will start Real Money Play sections soon.
Real Money Play with Roulette Bot Pro.

Just waiting for the new versions of both before I get going.
Plus I got to raise some capital to play with.

They make me laugh.
Ok. Lets see.
Buckets...
Hmmm...
They put em on there head?
No, then again.
Maybe they were trying to be Ned Kelly or at least an American version of him.
Or perhaps they forgot to put holes in the buckets and ran into things.
Like tables. Or furniture.
Or they sat in them.
And could not get out again...?
Hmmm....
What other reason are there?
If none of the above.
Let me know.
Thanks.

Carl David Anderson (1905-91) discovered the subatomic particle called the muon in 1936, but no one has yet discovered what the point of it is. :o
I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which when you looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated. POUL ANDERSON (1926-2001)

Come on Thomas ! Do ure Best :thumbsup:
What the frak is a muon?
Never heard of it.
So, being me.
Google it.
Here is what I found.

So, they are electrical particles.
From the upper atmosphere.
What they do. Or why they do what they do.
Is beyond me.
Muon Counting (link:://:.youtube.com/watch?v=yi3UkCj8qK8#)
Particle Physics: Detecting Muons (link:://:.youtube.com/watch?v=YgXymR8W-RM&feature=related#)
Ok, so we can detect them.
But what do we do with em?
There are many strange things in the universe.
And in our own backyard.
Even our ocean has so many strange creatures.
Have you seen a jelly fish?
How the frak do they move?
They are made of nearly nothing.
Yet they can kill a grown man.
Muons
Intergalactic energy. Probably left over from UFO Space flight.

Ahh, then what if you looked at it the wrong way?
What then? Will it become less complicated?
Everything is perception.
Or how we see things.
Do you see a glass half full or half empty?
Is what you see real?
Since everything is made up of atoms.
And atoms contain 99.9% empty space.
How is anything that you touch, feel, taste... Real?
Even a diamond vibrates at the molecular level.
It is moving. So does a rock.
There is so much energy around us.
Tesla was right. And that is why you don't see much of his work being put to use.
Look Tesla up. And his ideas. You will be surprised.

Carnation Milk 65 Years Ago ...This is PRICELESS
A little old lady from Wisconsin had worked in and around her family dairy farms since she was old enough to walk, with hours of hard work and little compensation.
When canned Carnation Milk became available in grocery stores in approximately the 1940s, she read an advertisement offering $5,000 for the best slogan. The producers wanted a rhyme beginning With 'Carnation Milk is best of all.'
She thought to herself, I know all about milk and dairy farms. I can do this! She sent in her entry, and several weeks later, a black limo pulled up in front of her house.
A man got out and said, 'Carnation' LOVED your entry so much! We are here to award you $2,000 even though we will not be able to use it!'

One day Charlie was found under a cliff dead. The police called Charlie's brother Sean who had witnessed the whole thing. This is what Sean said to the police: "I was taking a walk along the cliff, to find Charlie and his girlfriend fighting. I didn't want to interrupt so I stood behind a tree. Charlie was wearing a big leather jacket and had on gloves and jeans. He was also wearing black boots. That's when I saw Charlie pick up a rock, threatening to hit his girlfriend with it. That's when I approached him to tell him to stop. I must have startled him because he started running right off the cliff". The police immediately investigated where Charlie was fighting with his girlfriend. The police found the rock charlie was about to throw at his girlfriend, with fingerprints on it. Without scanning the fingerprints, The police immediately arrested Sean. Why?
Because Charlie was wearing gloves, so he would not have left fingerprints.

The paragraph below is very unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it?
"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honour got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby , walking towards that group, saw a youg girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "
The above passage is taken from the book "Gatsby" written by Ernest Vincent Wright in the late 1930's.

While exploring the wild highlands of Ireland, Robert was captured by goblins. Grumpy, the chief of the goblins told him he was allowed one final statement on which would hinge how he would die. If the statement he made was false, he would be boiled in water. If the statement were true, he would be fried in oil. Since Robert did not like either option, so he made a statement that forced the goblins to release him. What is the one statement he could make to save himself?
If u fry me in oil, i'll taste worse, than if u boil me in water.

Almost chris !
Answer:
Robert said: "You will boil me in water." The goblins were faced with a dilemma. If they boil him in water, that would make his statement true, which means he should have been fried in oil. They can only fry him in oil if he makes a true statement, but if they do, it would make his final statement false. The goblins had no way our of their situation so they were forced to set Robert free.

One night, a man and his wife were driving to a certain place. All of a sudden the car stopped. The man realized that he would need to pour some cold water into the carburetor. He asked his wife to sit inside the car and lock the doors, while he goes searching for the water. After sometime, when the man returns, he finds this wife dead in a pool of blood. Besides her, there lay a stranger with no clothes on his body. Who was the stranger and how did his wife die?
I would probably say...that is wife was pregnant and died while having her baby.. while her husband was out looking for water.That would explain the blood and a new born is naked ofcourse.

The Afrikaans for 'astrology' is sterrewiggelary.
That we can think of no mechanism for astrology is relevant but unconvincing. No mechanism was known, for example, for continental drift when it was proposed by Wegener. Nevertheless, we see that Wegener was right, and those who objected on the grounds of unavailable mechanism were wrong. CARL SAGAN (1934-96)

Yes, how is everyone going is virtually the same as asking How is everyone doin.....in this context :)
In today's modern usage of the English language, those phrases are quite often given new means.
Hence, doing, going, being, living, feeling, and many others,
are truly intended to enquire(ask) about the current (or just pass) status of your Physical/Emotional/Location .
Here's one from my local dialect>>
Watch it cox, hows it hanging?
Means- How are u, and what are you currently doing in your life?
Thank you very much Twister and Chris :D
I saw sentences like that already, but I always wondered what were they asking :P
A local phrase where I live is,
I had a crease of a weekend
Meaning, my weekend was awesome/fun/brilliant etc etc

The funny thing about these conspiracy theorys is.
That they never question what the Russians did.
First man in space.
First EVA.
First Dog/Dogs in space.
First probe in space (Sputnik)
Man u crease me up!!
Im gonna reply BEFORE I watch that Vid Thomas :)
The reason I am sure they went to the Moon is because there is still an experiment running from the Appolo Missions.
Every day a Laser Beam hits the surface of the Moon. The Target ? Laser Reflectors (or the sort)
The reason for this is to see how far the Moon has moved out of its Orbit amongst other things
(The Moon moves approx 2cm away from Earth every year)
So thats my current opinion, now to watch the Movie !
Thanx Thomas :thumbsup:

pete was found dead in his library.his fore head was resting on the keys of his tape recorder;a pool of blood lay on the desk beside him.from the door,sarah could see that pete's right hand covered the gun and that a bullet had entered his right temple.sarah removed the tape recorder from under pete's head and pressed the play button.a voice said,"this is pete speaking.i am not going to go on with a long winded farewell.i'm tired of life and all its anguish.i'll see you on the other side,wherever that maybe."there was a gunshot and the sound of his head hitting the tape recorder keys,followed by a click indicating the recorder had been shut off.sarah was certain that someone else had imitated pete's voice and made this recording to sound like a suicide.
Why does sarah suspect murder???
Cause Pete was right handed, and the gun was still in his hand,
so he could not have turned the tape machine off after firing the gun.
And he would have been dead.

Virtually correct Chris, well done :thumbsup:
The stated answer is:
Because she didn't have to press rewind on the tape. If it was suicide it would be stopped after the shot, not before the'suicide note'

I had to think about this one too. :)
The puzzle was: Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?
The answer "they were all married" is correct because "single" means "not married".
So if you replace "single" by "not married" you get:
Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a (not married) man got wet! Why?
So the only way this could be true is if they were all married.

Of course not Bayes, your always welcome to come join in as is anyone :)
Answer: One
None. Just U Bayes !!
;D
It's a bit ambiguous, I would tend to agree with Twister and say 1, but it could be zero because it says "kits, cats, sacks, wives", which doesn't include the narrator. Also, we don't KNOW that they weren't going to St. Ives, maybe I (or the narrator) happened to pass them going in the same direction (instead of them going the opposite way as we assume when we say the answer is 1), after all, with all those sacks and cats, they're probably moving more slowly than me!
And another thing - which St. Ives are we talking about? as far as I know there are 2 (one in Cornwall and one in Cambridgeshire), so maybe I'm going to the one in Cornwall and they're going to Cambridgeshire (or vice-versa), which case the answer would be 7x7.... + 1.
So I would say - more information is needed, we don't know the answer. :)

I like the complexity of Ur thinking Bayes..... but consider this also, which I NEARLY posted as my answer>>>>>>>>>
The last line in Ur riddle is; How many were going to ST.Ives.
Begs the Q. How many what? People/Persons/Cats/Kits/Sacks/Wives.
If people in the First person intended, then yes its one, cause its the person asking the question, You.
If persons in the second tense, then the answer in None, since its just You, (as in 'AS I WAS Going To St. Ives)
If the variant/array from either Wives/and/Cats/and/Sacks/and/Kits then its None too as as u correctly state, neither of them have stated their exact destination!!

Hmm... these probability problems can be tricky. Intuitively, the answer would seem to be 0.5. You are guaranteed at least one head (because of the 2 headed coin) and the other coin has a 50% chance of heads coming up.
In situations like this, one has to list all the possible outcomes.
What do we know- 2 coins. Coin A has Heads/Heads faces, .....Coin B has Heads/Tails faces
The share of the coins face is>
Coin A...........Heads
Coin B...........Heads
Or Coin A......Heads
Coin B......Tails
Or Coin B.....Heads
Coin A.....Heads
Or Coin B.....Tails
Coin A..... Heads
Total number of possible outcomes is 4
Number of double head chances is 2
Therefore a 2 in 4 chance, which is 1 in 2 chance, 50% ??? or is it 33 %

There are two coins in an opaque bag. They are identical except one is a heads and a tail; the other has two heads. What are your odds of getting two heads if you withdraw one coin at random, place it face down on the desk, and continue by doing the same with the second coin?
don't forget these are Riddles !
The correct answer is 0%
because if you place them both face down, you'll have 1 tail up and 1 head up ;D

Next Riddle !
Thomas P Stanwick and Inspector Matthew Walker were seated one afternoon in Stanwick's living room, chatting about recent crime news.
"You may have seen something in the papers," said Walker, "about the murder two nights ago of Professor Richard Hansford."
"Yes, I think so." Stanwick frowned. "The archaeologist. He was stabbed in the back while seated at a chessboard in his study, wasn't he? Killed instantly."
"That's right. A call came in to headquarters at 8:30 last Wednesday night from Michael Rimbach, a visiting relative of Hansford's.
When the squad car arrived, rimbach explained to the officers that he had heard a cry from the study as he was passing by in the hallway. Looking in he saw the professor slumped back in his chair and caught a glimpse of a man escaping through the French doors of the study onto the lawn. Rimbach rushed to the doors, but the man had already disappeared into the rainy darkness.
Hansford was obviously dead, so without touching anything, Rimbach called the police and told Hansford's sister Emily of the crime. Emily, an invalid, had heard nothing.
Rimbach thinks he recognized the man as David Kunst, a neighbor who played chess with Hansford every Wednesday evening at 7:30. They were both enthusiasts of monochromatic chess and played no other kind."
"Really?" said Stanwick. "Chess in which no piece can move from a black square to a white square, or vice versa? That's quite rare."
"Yes, it is, which is why they played it so regularly. It's hard to find partners for it. Rimbach, the sister, and Kunst all confirmed the weekly games.
"When we interviewed Kunst at his home later that evening," Walker continued, "he said he had received a call from Rimbach a little after seven saying that Hansford was ill and had to cancel that evening's game. Kunst said he there fore spent the evening at home. Rimbach denies having called him. Kunst lives alone, and there were no witnesses. We saw a damp overcoat and shoes there, but he says they got wet on his way home from work."
"In what condition did you find the study?" Stanwick asked.
'The French doors were open. We looked for footprint traces on the lawn, but found nothing definite. The condition of the board indicated that a game was in progress when the murder occurred."
"Did the aboard look like the game had been in progress for an hour?"
"Yes I guess so. It looked like the players were entering the middle part of the game. A knight and two bishops were already posted in the center of the board."
"Had the weekly game ever been called off before?"
"now and then. Usually the sister phoned Kunst if Hansford was ill. She had been confined to her bed that day, though, and hadn't seen her brother."
"well," said Stanwick, fingering the tip of his mustache, "you have an interesting but thoroughly contradictory pair of stories to consider. One of them is patently untrue, however, so I suggest you concentrate your inquiry in the direction of the liar."
Who is Lying, Please explain ?
I would say Rimbach is lying...
He said he saw the professor slumped back in his chair: If he was stabbed in the back then he would have fallen forward not back into the chair.
He said he caught a glimpse of a man escaping through the french doors of the study onto the lawn: The mud was wet so there would have been foot prints.
if a game was in progress, and if they always played monochromatic chess, then the knight couldn't have been in the center of the board.Rimbach must have fiddled with it
Rimbach tried to make Kunst look suspicious by saying"Rimbach thinks he recognized the man as David Kunst"
Is the correct answer :thumbsup: !

One day all of you will know that I talked openly about the only way to beat these games of chance offered in casinos. You will know that I chose to share it in a way that requires your own hard work and commitment to discover it. The only fair way to share it after all is said and done. I took 35 years and researched every system idea I could imagine. That lead to mechanical simulations and later computer programs to analyze systems. I only began to discuss it in the past thee years. The offer to teach is now withdrawn. I have taught eight with a complete openness to make sure that each student understands the methods. I have proved what I set out to accomplish. If it remains a secret then that is a testimony to the fact that is works. Honestly, I think a few students have some doubts even now. It takes real work and practice. When the method is openly disclosed to the world, if that ever happens, it will still take hard work and practice to be good at it.

And the next Riddle !
You are a detective on a case.
You walk into a room.. there are 5 chairs around a table and 4 dead men with bullet holes in their foreheads.
There are 53 Bicycles scattered around the room.
Why did the men die?
Something to do with a fifth man maybe?
can anyone else expand on this "pulled-out-of-thin-air-theory" of mine?
U're on the right track mate :)
Ok. Lets put down what we have as facts.
Im a detective (well im not, my daughter is, but she's busy right now, so can't ask here at the mo)
One Room- can enter by walking into it
Five chairs, which would equal 20 legs
One table- doesn't say how many legs it has.
Four men, presumably all with two arms each, two legs each, and definitely one head each
All the men have been shot in the forehead.
Four bullets, or one bullet, the men were all in a line and the one bullet did them all.
53 bicycles, which should have two wheels each= 106 wheels, 106 tyres, 53 seats 53 handle bars.
The bicycles are scattered around the room.
And the dead men may also be scattered.
All the men are dead.
Question is- "Why did the men die?"
Oh, and there made well be a fifth man involved in the scam/murder, who might it could be assumed, escaped on another bike (bicycle)
which would have made 54 bicycles in total, which does not divide by 4 or 5 exactly.
Mmmmmmmmmmm?
Hi Chris and Twister,
I would suggest that the 53 bicycles are playing cards.
Perhaps the 5th man was caught cheating (that extra card, there are only 52 in a deck), but beat them to the draw and shot the other 4.

One of my neighbors is greyish white,
He doesn't fear the air as some might.

Oh Bravo Chris !
On the right track, keep going :thumbsup:
Au
...Gold...?
Hidden text in white.
Awesome Chris !
Gold is the correct answer :thumbsup:
One of my neighbors is greyish white, //78 - Platinum (Pt) - greyish white
He doesn't fear the air as some might.//- does not oxidise in air
My other neighbor is slippery allright, //80 - Mercury (Hg)- liquid
But still gets to hang with us toughies by birthright.//but metal nevertheless
My neighbor above is much like my little brother, //47 - Silver(Ag), less precious than gold
Except he knows how to make rain like no other. // Silver iodide is used in rainmaking
My neighbor below is harder to meet than any other,// 111 - Roentgenium(Rg), only a few atoms have ever been produced.
That's why most people usually don't bother.// Isolation of an observable quantity has never been achieved
And that makes me gold - 79(Au) in the periodic table, with the neighbors above (left/right/up/down).
Thanks Paul. ;)
Nice going, Chris.

Potassium hydroxide is extremely dangerous to breathe and fatal to eat. It causes deep ulcers if it touches the skin and irreversible damage if it gets in the eyes. It is widely used to wash fruit and vegetables; in the manufacture of chocolate, ice cream, caramel, soft drinks, paper and textiles; to form a skin on pretzels before baking; and as a wart-remover. It is also used by vets for disbudding calves horns and for dissolving scales and hair and is a common ingredient of washing powder, denture cleaner, detergent, drain cleaners and soap.
Never was anything great achieved without danger. NICCOLO MACCHIAVELLI
It is extremely dangerous to stand under a tree during a thunderstorm. It is more dangerous to stand under an oak than any other kind of tree. The next most risky trees to stand under are poplars and Scots pines. If you are determined be a complete maniac and stand under a tree during a lightning strike, but don't actually want to die, head for a beech. They are ten times less likely to be hit than oaks. According to the very few studies done, you are also much less likely to be hit by lightning under a sycamore, hawthorn or holly tree.

Next Riddle !
Two men are building a house together. One man is about 40, the other is about 25. The younger one is contantly bragging about how much stronger he is than the other man. One day, the older man could not take it anymore. He came up to the younger man and said, "I bet you one hundred english pounds that I can push something in a wheelbarrow 30 yards that you can't push". The younger man took that challenge, thinking he could make an easy hundred pounds. They marked off the the 30 yards and got thier wheelbarrow. The older man got to choose the object. The only things around were wood, sand, water, logs, bricks, concrete, and a table. The older man chose his thing and easily pushed the wheelbarrow 30 yards. The younger one, however, could not push the wheelbarrow even one foot. What did the old man choose to put in the wheelbarrow?

Here is the next Riddle !
Max got the call at 1am, waking him from a sound sleep. What shocked him into immediate awareness were the words: ââ,¬Å"We have a murder.ââ,¬Â Max was in his car racing to the crime scene in minutes.
As he entered, he was greeted by Officer Brent. ââ,¬Å"Whatââ,¬â,,¢s the scoop, Brent?" Officer Brent went on to give Max the Lowdown:
ââ,¬Å"The vic is somewhat famous, thatââ,¬â,,¢s why they called you. His name is Charlie Baker, AKA Cocktail Charlie. He was a famous mixologist, inventing many of the popular drinks they serve in fancy clubs and restaurants. He was having one of his famous parties this evening, and as it was winding down, he was found stabbed to death behind his own bar.ââ,¬Â
How ironic, thought Max, as he looked around the room. Brent continued: ââ,¬Å"He must have saw the attack coming, because he grabbed at a couple of bottles of booze just before he died. He probably was trying to ward off the attack with the only thing handy. He was, after all, behind the bar."
Brent went on, ââ,¬Å"There were only five people in the house at the time, hereââ,¬â,,¢s a list of suspects for ya. Itââ,¬â,,¢s your ballgame now, Detective."
Max looked the list over, hereââ,¬â,,¢s what it said:
Suspect 1: Mary Plazmar, Charlieââ,¬â,,¢s girlfriend. Sheââ,¬â,,¢s the one who found the body and called the police. Charlie and Mary had been together for ten years, but never married. As time went on, this became a bigger and bigger problem for Mary, but she usually kept quiet about this.
Suspect 2: Robert Corduroy III, he was Charlieââ,¬â,,¢s business manager. Theyââ,¬â,,¢d been working together for years and were inseparable. Corduroy managed Charlieââ,¬â,,¢s appearances and book signings. As Charlie got on in years, he chose to do less and less work, and more and more partying. Corduroy was constantly hounding Charlie to ââ,¬Å"get to work,ââ,¬Â but to little avail.
Suspect 3: Thomas Collinsworth, Charlieââ,¬â,,¢s best friend. They would travel together. There were rumors that the two were more than friends, but they were just rumors as far as anyone was concerned. The rumors also said that he and Mary hated each other, for obvious reasons.
Suspect 4: Jack Danielson, Charlieââ,¬â,,¢s money guy. He managed the millions of dollars Charlie made off of his books. Charlie loved to party but wasnââ,¬â,,¢t very good with money. Word on the street was that Jack lived far beyond his means and had been possibly skimming money from Charlieââ,¬â,,¢s accounts for years.
Suspect 5: Jonathon Walkerson, who happens to be heir to the Walkerson fortune. His father made it big in checkerboards in the early 1900ââ,¬â,,¢s. He and Charlie were old drinking buddies, and had gotten into a few bar room brawls together. He was a bear of a man that wasnââ,¬â,,¢t considered too bright.
Max looked the list over quickly, but then focused on the dead body behind the bar. There were the normal paraphernalia youââ,¬â,,¢d expect behind the bar of a master mixologist: Shot glasses, cork screws, glass pitchers, can openers, and different size measuring jiggers. What amazed Max was the stock behind the bar. Heââ,¬â,,¢s never seen so many bottles of booze in his life. Every name brand you could think of.
Lying on the floor of the bar was poor Charlie. Covered in blood, one hand clutching at the knife stuck in his back, the other hand clutching a bottle of Martini and Rossi, just as Officer Brent had reported. The smallish bottle had been no match for the huge knife that had done him in.
Just then, Officer Brent walked up and informed Max that the five suspects were in the sitting room, waiting to be interviewed.
ââ,¬Å"Thereââ,¬â,,¢s only one of them I want to talk to, Officer. You see, I already know who the killer is.ââ,¬Â
What tipped Max off to the killerââ,¬â,,¢s identity?
And here is the next Riddle !
Max got the call at 1am, waking him from a sound sleep. What shocked him into immediate awareness were the words: â€Ã...“We have a murder.â€Ã, Max was in his car racing to the crime scene in minutes.
As he entered, he was greeted by Officer Brent. â€Ã...“What’s the scoop, Brent?" Officer Brent went on to give Max the Lowdown:
â€Ã...“The vic is somewhat famous, that’s why they called you. His name is Charlie Baker, AKA Cocktail Charlie. He was a famous mixologist, inventing many of the popular drinks they serve in fancy clubs and restaurants. He was having one of his famous parties this evening, and as it was winding down, he was found stabbed to death behind his own bar.â€Ã,Â
How ironic, thought Max, as he looked around the room. Brent continued: â€Ã...“He must have saw the attack coming, because he grabbed at a couple of bottles of booze just before he died. He probably was trying to ward off the attack with the only thing handy. He was, after all, behind the bar."
Brent went on, â€Ã...“There were only five people in the house at the time, here’s a list of suspects for ya. It’s your ballgame now, Detective."
Max looked the list over, here’s what it said:
Suspect 1: Mary Plazmar, Charlie’s girlfriend. She’s the one who found the body and called the police. Charlie and Mary had been together for ten years, but never married. As time went on, this became a bigger and bigger problem for Mary, but she usually kept quiet about this.
Suspect 2: Robert Corduroy III, he was Charlie’s business manager. They’d been working together for years and were inseparable. Corduroy managed Charlie’s appearances and book signings. As Charlie got on in years, he chose to do less and less work, and more and more partying. Corduroy was constantly hounding Charlie to â€Ã...“get to work,â€Ã, but to little avail.
Suspect 3: Thomas Collinsworth, Charlie’s best friend. They would travel together. There were rumors that the two were more than friends, but they were just rumors as far as anyone was concerned. The rumors also said that he and Mary hated each other, for obvious reasons.
Suspect 4: Jack Danielson, Charlie’s money guy. He managed the millions of dollars Charlie made off of his books. Charlie loved to party but wasn’t very good with money. Word on the street was that Jack lived far beyond his means and had been possibly skimming money from Charlie’s accounts for years.
Suspect 5: Jonathon Walkerson, who happens to be heir to the Walkerson fortune. His father made it big in checkerboards in the early 1900’s. He and Charlie were old drinking buddies, and had gotten into a few bar room brawls together. He was a bear of a man that wasn’t considered too bright.
Max looked the list over quickly, but then focused on the dead body behind the bar. There were the normal paraphernalia you’d expect behind the bar of a master mixologist: Shot glasses, cork screws, glass pitchers, can openers, and different size measuring jiggers. What amazed Max was the stock behind the bar. He’s never seen so many bottles of booze in his life. Every name brand you could think of.
Lying on the floor of the bar was poor Charlie. Covered in blood, one hand clutching at the knife stuck in his back, the other hand clutching a bottle of Martini and Rossi, just as Officer Brent had reported. The smallish bottle had been no match for the huge knife that had done him in.
Just then, Officer Brent walked up and informed Max that the five suspects were in the sitting room, waiting to be interviewed.
â€Ã...“There’s only one of them I want to talk to, Officer. You see, I already know who the killer is.â€Ã,Â
What tipped Max off to the killer’s identity?
their names are names of c***tails and whiskeys
bloody mary - vodka tomato juice
rob roy - whiskey with vermouth
tom collins - gin, lemon juice, soda
jack daniels
johnnie walker
so he was holding a bottle of martini = vermouth id go with robert colduroy as the detective's choice

Here is the next Riddle !!
If you have an unlimited amount of sugar, one standard 5 kilo weight, and a balance scale.
I want you to weigh exactly 7 kilos sugar using the balance scale ONLY.
you can use it as much as you want!
Any other method is NOT allowed.
Good Luck ;D
You take 5 kg weight and use it to weigh 5kg sugar.
Then you take away the weight and move 1 half of the pile of sugar on the one end of the scale and keep moving/taking away to the 5kg pile until it is leveled. Now you have 2.5 kg on each side of the scale.
You do the same and now you have 1,250 on each side of the pile.
You do the same and now you have 0,625 on each side of the pile.
You do the same and now you have 0,3125 on each side of the pile.
You do the same and now you have 0,1565 on each side of the pile.
Now you take the weight and start weighing 5 kgs of sugar and put it in a pile. You do that 9 times until you have 45 kgs of sugar in a pile.
Now you start halving again the pile in the same manner as above. First halving gives you 22.5kg, second one 11.25, third one 5.6, fourth one 2.8, fifth one 1.4, sixth one 0.7, seventh one 0.350.
Now you combine those 0.350 with the 0.1565 from the above pile and you have 0.56kgs of sugar in a pile.
Now you measure 5 kgs with the weight, then halve it with the same principal above to get two 2.5kg piles. You discard one of those piles, measure 5 kgs again with the weight and add the 2.5kg pile to that. You now have 7.5 kgs of sugar.
Now you put the 0.56kgs pile on the one side of the scale and start to take out from the 7.5kg pile of sugar small amounts until the scale is leveled.
Now you are left with 7kgs of sugar plus minus 6 grams.
Well I looked at this riddle in 100 different angles and this solution is the most accurate 7 kgs I can achieve. If someone else wants to try to do it, be my guest :)
Weigh 3.5kilos on each side of the balance scale :wink:

The chemical element germanium was discovered by the German chemist Clemens Winkler (1838-1904) and named after Germania, Latin for Germany.
Here is the next Riddle !
During WWII, there was a bridge connecting Germany and Switzerland, and on the German side, there was a sentry tower with a guard in it. He would come out every three minutes to check on the bridge, and he had orders to turn back anyone who tried to get into Germany, and shoot anyone trying to escape without a pass. There was a woman who desperately needed to get into Switzerland, and she knew she didn't have time to get a pass. It would take her at least six minutes to cross the bridge, but she managed to do it.
How ?
Walking backwards for so long, and then walking forward for an other short time to fool the guard into thinking she had come from the Other side!

Franz Josef Haydn (1732-1809) is often said to be an Austrian composer but, though he was born in Austria, he was in fact 100% German. Haydn was from a poor background: his mother was a cook and his father was a wheelwright.
There was no one near to confuse me, so I was forced to become original. FRANZ JOSEF HAYDN
Here is the next Riddle !
Can you find the numbers A,B,C, and D so that the following works?
ABCD x 4 = DCBA
Note: ABCD is a four digit number ,and so is the DCBA (e.g. 9712)
Good Luck !
Well, I have come this far:
A, can only be 1 or 2.
D, must be between 4 and 8.
:)
ABCD x 4 = DCBA
1. abcd < 2500; A must be smaller than 3
2. A = 2, because it cannot be 1 as 4 times 1 is an even number and if we substitute A in the product we have an odd product
2BCD x 4 = DCB2
3. D can be 3(3x4=12) or 8(8x4=32), both ending in 2
3a) assuming D is 3
2BC3 x 4 = 3CB2 ->obviously a number above 2000 multiplied by 4 cannot be equal to a number between 3002 and 3992, so the obvious answer is 8
4. 2BC8 x 4 = 8CB2
now B can be either 1 or 3 or 5 or 7 but B < 5 because 4*25 = 100
So AB = 21 or 23
4a) AB = 23 DC >= 92B2 C = 2 which is not possible as A = 2
AB = 21
5. 21C8 x 4 = 8C12
6. C can be 0,3,4,5,6,7,9
2108 x 4 = 8 432
2138 x 4 = 8 552
2148 x 4 = 8 592
2158 x 4 = 8 632
2168 x 4 = 8 672
2178 x 4 = 8 712 which is the correct answer

If you were in an apple orchard and wanted to pick a ripe apple but it is too dark outside to tell which are ripe or not, how many would you need to pick to have 99% chance of having at least 1 ripe apple? You do not want to waste by picking too many, and know that at this time of year that 2/3 of the apples are ripe. And there is no time to find a light, as you need to hurry home with your apples.
What is the minimum number of apples to pick?
I'd pick a pear.
[reveal=Note]I hope someone else see's the Humour in this, and its not just me!! lol[/reveal]
..........and besides, u don't say how many apples are in the Apple Orchard anyway!
A bullet fired from a Kalashnikov weighs only a quarter of an ounce, but leaves the barrel at more than 1,500mph. This gives it a force of impact equivalent to that of a brick dropped from the top of St Paul's cathedral.
