A. 1+2+3=lose B. 2+1+3=win C. 3+1+2=lose D. 3+2+1=lose E. 2+3+1=win F. 1+3+2=win This comes from the days of knights and kings and fair maidens. Turns out that the fair maiden Rowena wishes to wed. Her father, the evil king, has devised a way to drive to drive off suitors. He has a quiz for the suitors, and here it is. It's very simple. There are three boxes on the table, OK? One is made of gold. One is made of silver. And the third is made of lead. Inside one of these boxes is a picture of the fair Rowena and it is the job of the knight is to figure out which-without opening them, of course- has her picture. Now, to assist him in this endeavor there are inscriptions on each of the boxes. The gold box says "Rowena's picture is in this box." The silver box says "The picture ain't in this box." The lead box says, "The picture ain't in the gold box." one of the statements, and only one, is true. If the knight just opens the box with the picture, he gets the girl. The question is: Where's the picture? I repeat, one, and only one, of the statements is true. its the silver box. explanation: the gold says is in itself the silver says not in itself the lead says its not in the gold box if gold is correct: it would also be in the silver box.
if silver is correct, then the lead means its in the gold box and the gold box means it isnt.
if lead is correct: gold changes to not in, and silver changes to yes in.
silver

I'm going to guess a garden. But I know that's wrong.
A boy goes off to college and after the first semester he's run out of money. In fact, he's so broke he doesn't have enough money to call home, or to even send a letter. However, he manages to find a postcard with a stamp already on it.
He sends the following message, "Send. More money." Here's how the message reads: from left to right, "s-e-n-d." Directly below those four letters, is the word "more." To the left of "more" is a plus sign. There is a line underneath those two words, and under that is the word "money", with the "m" under the plus sign, and the "y" under the "d" and "e" in "send" and "more." The question is, how much money do they send him? Believe it or not, there's only one solution.
