Riddle: Trapped inside a box-like prison cell, Bonnie and Claude had been placed under lock and key. They had both been there for three weeks. Claude was standing on his head, while Bonnie was lying on her back. Both of them, along with their co-prisoners, were all being observed by numerous passersby who watched them, just as they would animals in a zoo. A man, wearing work gloves and sporting a grizzled mustache, would routinely stop by and forcefully usher new prisoners into the boxy cell. At one point, a short female approached the jail-box and slipped a dollar bill into Bonnie and Claude’s prison. A sudden look of extreme determination crept over the girl’s face as she quickly grabbed a metal object with her bare hand, releasing a monstrous-looking creature which slowly descended from the top of the cell, and began slowly moving toward Claude, who was still standing on his head. Bonnie was not able to scream or alert Claude as to the monster’s approach, and its appendages opened wider and wider, while its claws began to dig into his backside. The girl gasped at the sight, but within twenty seconds she had somehow rescued Claude from the clutches of the monster, and freed him from his prison. Unfortunately, Bonnie was not so lucky.

Riddle: During the winter of 1959, a young man returned home from work, and presented his new bride with a box -shaped like a part of the human body. He also gave her a newly published book entitled Flowers for Algernon, and humbly apologized to her, stating, "The one store was open, but the other store was not, so this is as close as I could get for your gifts." As he looked into the eyes of his beautiful bride, he spoke these strange, mystical words: "With Abe looking forward, and George looking back, I ask you, on this special day; will you -- -- ---------?" To solve this brainteaser, you must: #1- identify the contents of the box (shaped like a part of the human body) which he gave to his wife; #2- identify the "special day" referred to by the husband, and #3 - reveal the three missing words the husband spoke to his new bride.

Riddle: Two young adventurers, Tristen and Lawrence, travel to the state of Pennsylvania in search of the legendary Phantom --- to face it, and conquer it, if possible. The Phantom is famous for exacting revenge on any who challenge it, but the two daredevils are undaunted. When the brave crusaders finally spot the Phantom, they are awestruck, and approach the Phantom as if they are hypnotized. The Phantom’s henchmen then put the two into a strange carriage, restraining them with metal bars. The Phantom then uses a chain to hoist the pair high into the air. Suddenly, they are released and plummet downward, where they are roughly tossed to and fro until Tristen throws up on Lawrence as a result of this abuse. However, because they are both still alive and breathing, they are released from their restraints by the henchmen, and are permitted to leave. Although it sounds truly unbelievable, Tristen and Lawrence decide to return to challenge the Phantom that very same day. Have these two adventurers lost their minds? Are they both in need of immediate mental health treatment; or is there a more sensible explanation for these events? Show Answer Hide Answer
