ishamaria Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Just like the Brain Teasers forum I am going to keep track of everyone's score. Once you reach ten you get a prize. I'll keep the puzzles posted for a little while. If nobody gets them right I will post the answer and a new puzzle. Scores: livelovelaughalot: 2 Myriad: 1 Doc Loc: 1 Okay the first puzzle is: Daniel and his family were very religious. They went to church every Sunday. One day Daniel's father was asked to relocate because of a job promotion. Daniel's family moved to a new city on Saturday. On Sunday everybody but Daniel slept in. Daniel felt tired but decided to go to church and thank God for the safe move straightway and he would lead the others to the church a little later in the day. The sign outside said St. Joseph's Catholic Church. He went inside to find a service was being conducted but he did not understand a word they were saying. Why? 1. It had nothing to do with the accents 2. They have not moved to a country outside of the USA 3. Daniel was only 10 years old 4.The language used in the church was English and not Latin 5.He did not have a problem with his ears. He could hear everything that was said 6.The city they moved to was Washington. Quote
Hubert Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Uggh, to hard for me. Why didn't it stand:But he did not understand a world they were saying. That would have been much easier. Quote
ishamaria Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 Uggh, to hard for me. Why didn't it stand:But he did not understand a world they were saying. That would have been much easier. It just shows that there was a mass going on when he walked in. Quote
Ashley Rose Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Umm because Daniel doesn't speak English???? Maybe he speaks Spanish or something! I am assuming anyone can play this if not I am sorry! Quote
ishamaria Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 Umm because Daniel doesn't speak English???? Maybe he speaks Spanish or something! I am assuming anyone can play this if not I am sorry! That is close but why doesn't he speak English? Quote
Ashley Rose Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Because Daniel is from another country that doesn't use English, or his home atmosphere just simply wasn't an english speaking home! Quote
ishamaria Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 Because Daniel is from another country that doesn't use English, or his home atmosphere just simply wasn't an english speaking home! Yes! Daniel's father was the Italian Ambassador. He moved from Rome to Washington. Daniel only spoke Italian. Here's the next puzzle: There was a robbery at a bank. Two people had broken in and had killed 3 people. A young child had seen what had happened and was the only witness yet she never confronted the people. Why? 1. She told her mother about it yet her mother did not do anything about it. Quote
Ashley Rose Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Because her mom was involved...as in she was one of the bank robbers or someone they knew such as her father. Quote
ishamaria Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 Because her mom was involved...as in she was one of the bank robbers or someone they knew such as her father. Not quite. None of her family was involved. Quote
Loc Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 She watched it, but she was a survivor, but told her mothers grave, because her mother was dead? Quote
Ashley Rose Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Good answer loocem! That sounds like it's probably right! I never thought of that! Can't wait to find out the answer for it! Quote
Loc Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Thanks, but I don't think it's right. I am no good at puzzles, I just like to do them. Quote
ishamaria Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 That is a good answer loocem but I'm afraid it still isn't right. The first couple of words are pretty close but it is used in a different situation. If she told the police the police still wouldn't do anything. Quote
Loc Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 The little girl saw it, but then the people killed themselves. Quote
Myriad Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Was it a video game? An her mother didn't mind her playing those violent type games? Quote
ishamaria Posted January 4, 2008 Author Posted January 4, 2008 Was it a video game? An her mother didn't mind her playing those violent type games? That is close enough. The answer was that she watched a television show about robbries. Next Puzzle: Change one letter each line form the starting word to make the final word: CHOP ____ ____ ____ TREE I may need to double check this but try to see if you can solve this one. Quote
Ashley Rose Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 I don't think I am doing this right at all lol, but I got chotee. It's a spanish word for mock. I bet I am doing this totally wrong! Quote
ishamaria Posted January 4, 2008 Author Posted January 4, 2008 I don't think I am doing this right at all lol, but I got chotee. It's a spanish word for mock. I bet I am doing this totally wrong! You don't add a letter. You have to switch the letters with another letter each time you climb down. (It's actually called a word ladder or something). Quote
liza2322 Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 chop crop ---- ---- tree ****wow a toughy i only got the second word...gonna think of the rest**** Quote
ishamaria Posted January 8, 2008 Author Posted January 8, 2008 I knew I was wrong. The actual puzzle is: Chop ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________ Tree Quote
Ashley Rose Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Chop Chow Chew Thew Thee Tree It didn't take me as many lines....but I still ended with the same word. Quote
liza2322 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 OHHH no duh thats why im thinking are u sure its this many lines...well too bad i figure someone already got it... I will just wait till the next puzzle:| Quote
ishamaria Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 I'm not sure that thew and thee are real words are they? Cause thats not the answer I have. Quote
Ashley Rose Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Yes they are, thew is a muscle and thee is just like thou but in a different form. You can look them both up on answers.com that's what I use for a dictionary pretty often and they are both on there. Edit: Good idea to include a link loocem, so I will do that too! Here are links to each word in thefreedictionary.com thew can be found here: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/thew and Thee can be found here: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/thee Quote
