Riddle: When the killer first entered the home of Mrs. Vivian Von Trapp, she was unaware of its presence for several days. She was doing the dishes one morning when she saw it basking in the sunshine which poured through her open kitchen window. As Vivian glanced toward the peaceful scene, she saw the killing machine in action for the very first time, as it slowly closed in for the kill, claiming its first victim of that day. This gave her a creepy sensation, and triggered a bizarre mental flashback of a scene from her teenage years when she tried putting on super-long false eyelashes in front of a mirror. Each time she closed her eyes, even slowly, the lashes would stick together every time. It took Mrs. Von Trapp some time to get this weird vision out of her head, but watching the killing machine reminded her of this. Later, she learned her son Dawson had accompanied the murderer into their home as he returned from his high school biology class, but neither Mrs. Von Trapp nor her son ever had any fear of it, despite its reputation as a known killer. It was at least ten days before another killing took place, and another life snuffed out of existence. This seemed to be its killing pattern. Mrs. Von Trapp began to feel a kind of twisted satisfaction in witnessing the deaths of the executioner’s victims; in fact, she felt happy about the deaths, not sad. Was Vivian a mentally disturbed individual who enjoyed witnessing death, or is there a much simpler and more pleasant explanation for these events? Just what was this unusual killing machine; who were its victims; and why did neither the mother nor her son have any fear of it? Show Answer Hide Answer

Riddle: Pat was an underwater adventurer for most of his life. He came from a very large family who also were known for their ocean experiences. One day, while exploring an area of the ocean floor near a shark-infested region, Pat encountered one of the vicious beasts who bit off one of his arms, but left him alive. Not one of Pat’s numerous family members expressed any sadness or gave any words of comfort to him after the attack; however, a miraculous event began to take place for him —— his arm which had been chewed off, began to slowly grow back. It was a slow process, but within a year Pat’s arm was fully and miraculously restored; however, no mention of this incredible healing was reported in any medical journal or newspaper in the country. Just imagine —— a severed arm was completely regrown, but no one reported it or even noticed it! So, my question to you is: who exactly was Pat, and why didn’t this miraculous healing become known to the entire world? Show Answer Hide Answer

Riddle: Tristen received a phone call late one evening from his old science teacher, Mr. Riddleopoulous, asking him to come over to his house to see a few things he felt would interest him. Tristen remembered Mr. Riddleopoulous, a man of Greek descent, as being a person who always spoke in riddles, and was always vague when asking questions and giving answers and instructions. Tristen arrived at the Riddleopoulous residence just after 9:30 p.m., and was immediately ushered back to the patio of his teacher’s house. “See if you remember how to use this ‘precision instrument’,”said the teacher to his former student, “and locate the following: a Big kitchen utensil, a Little kitchen utensil, the Roman god of war, the Roman goddess of love, a liquid associated with thermometers, and a Candy Bar.” Remembering how Mr. Riddleopoulous interacted with everyone, Tristen was soon able to find all six of the locations requested ——— Can you? First, to solve this brainteaser, you must identify the “precision instrument” used by Tristen; and Second, you must name at least three of the six locations Mr. Riddleopoulous asked him to find. (Extra credit if you can name all six). Good luck!!! Show Answer Hide Answer

Riddle: My Grandpa Joe is nearly a hundred years old, and he has been experiencing some memory loss recently. Around breakfast time the other day, he was in the kitchen, and couldn’t find something he was desperately hunting. “Where are those delicious little puffs of goodness your mother always keeps in here?” he asked me. “You know, the ones that sound like they came out of a swamp; you know, those tasty little cylinders made of sugar, water, corn syrup, gelatin, and glucose. How does your mother expect me to have my morning cup of cocoa?” he asked in a frustrated manner. “I am looking for those white things which are often found out in the woods near campfires. Why, there was even a giant one I saw last week when I was watching that original Ghostbusters movie with you,” said Grandpa Joe. With the help of all the clues he had just given me, I was able to locate the items my grandfather had been seeking. Can you tell me what those items were? Show Answer Hide Answer
