"Anyone fancy a puzzle?"

This is actually a true story, and took a while to work out by detectives. And I'm not suprised.

Deep in the forest was found the body of a man who was wearing only swimming trunks, snorkel and facemask. The nearest lake was 8 miles away and the sea was 100 miles away. How had he died?


I'll tell you the answer in a few days.

That's obvious. By cabin you mean the acronym; Command Automated Budget Interactive Network, right? They were in one of those, and got defragmented by a router, no?

It took the Chinese 3000 years to get that one, and BJ got it on the first go! Nice one.

As Jill has been a very bad girl she won't be getting anyEaster Eggs this year.

Here's an obscure 3000 year old Chinese riddle for you all. Warning. This one is not easy.

There are 3 sticks of bamboo growing in a field. One called Tom, one called Joe, and one called Edward.

Tom grows at twice the rate of Joe, and half as fast as Edward. Tom is 50cm high. If Joe stops growing, whilst Edward and Tom continue growing at their normal rates, how many Easter eggs will Jill get next Easter?

He was delivering the package and got hit by a car.
He was testing the theory of Schroedinger's Cat and the experiment backfired.
He's an overworked postman at Christmas.
The package killed him.
He tripped on the package and had a fatal fall
The package is an unopened parachute which was flung from his body as he hit the ground at 120 mph. It was one of those new Irish "Open on Impact" 'chutes.

Here's another one.
A man lies dead in the road with an unopened package next to him.
Explain why.

BJ is bang on with his reply to my earlier puzzler. Claim your prize.*

To dream you must sleep. The gaurd had a dream last night. Therefore he slept last night. He works nights, and was sacked for sleeping on the job.

And Grix, why have you not told me that I was right about the Steam Room one? Come on heap praise upon me!

One killed one and the other hanged himself!

I don't know we need more info on this!

Sheepy knows.


Here's another one. A very hard one.


Two men are in a cabin in the mountains. Both are dead. How?

I'll explain tommorrow.
