"A puzzle for yous all..."

My first is in biscuit but never in cake
My second's in awesome but not in great
My third is in mother but not seen in dad
My fourth is in sunny but never in sad
My fifth is a vowel found in water not creek
My sixth is found only in one day of the week
My seventh's two of three that you learn when you're young
My eighth's not in song but it's there when it's sung
My ninth's in eleven and twelve, not thirteen
My tenth is in island and river, not stream
My eleventh's in precious and secret and paste
My twelfth is in phantom and spectre and haste
My whole stalks the night in a quiet dreamlike state
With no memories the next day of being out late

The father knew that the real son was against these sorts of tests?

Because the nature of the test was that only the true heir would refuse?

The king dies and two men both claim to be his long-lost son. One of the king's advisors proposes a test to determine the identity of the true heir. One claimant agrees to the test; the other refuses. The one who agreed is sent packing; the one who refused is identified as the rightful heir. Why?

A HamPsta eh? Thats a new one!

Shouldn't you have said

A husband calls the police to report his wife commiting suicide moments before. She left a tape explaining why. After the police listened to the tape they arrested the husband. Why?

otherwise you were telling porkies

;-P
I thought that the tape explained why she killed herself, not that it recorded her doing it.

She could have explained why and then topped herself.
ho-hum
