Riddle:
Bruno, a former race car driver, decided to switch professions when he became 30 years old. One day, on his new job, he suddenly felt compelled to speed up his car to over 90 miles per hour on the highway. As he glanced at his rearview mirror, he saw two police cars with their lights flashing and sirens wailing, coming up behind him; but Bruno appeared unphased by this, and he increased his speed to over 100 m.p.h. The two police cars remained in hot pursuit when suddenly, Bruno heard a loud bang and realized he had blown a tire. He was very fortunate to be able to pull safely over to the side of the road. Bruno laid his head down on his steering wheel as the two police cars reached his location --- and then went whizzing past him down the highway. All Bruno could say was, "I hope they don't get away." Why didn’t the two police cars stop to arrest Bruno for speeding and running from the law, and what is Bruno's new profession?
Answer: Bruno's new profession as he had become a police officer. He was in his police cruiser when he spotted a car that matched the description of one used by a couple of men who had just committed a robbery, and he began his high-speed pursuit. Two other police cars joined in the pursuit until Bruno’s car had a flat tire.

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?
Answer: The “killing machine” was a Venus Fly Trap plant which Dawson brought home from his high school biology class and put in his mother’s kitchen. Every ten days or so, it would catch a fly, which pleased Vivian, as she despised flies in her kitchen.

Riddle:
A boy leaves home in the morning to go to school. At the moment he leaves the house he looks at the clock in the mirror. The clock has no number indication and for this reason, the boy makes a mistake in interpreting the time (mirror-image). Just assuming the clock must be out of order, the boy cycles to school, where he arrives after twenty minutes. At that moment the clock at school shows a time that is two and a half hours later than the time that the boy saw on the clock at home. What time is it?
Answer: The difference between the real time and the time of the mirror image is two hours and ten minutes (two and a half hours, minus the twenty minutes of cycling). Therefore, the original time on the clock at home that morning could only have been five minutes past seven: The difference between these clocks is exactly 2 hours and ten minutes (note that also five minutes past one can be mirrored in a similar way, but this is not in the morning!). Conclusion: The boy reaches school at five minutes past seven plus twenty minutes of cycling, which is twenty-five minutes past seven!...
