An American spy found himself on an assignment in the Arabian Desert. He was running out of supplies and needed to send a coded message to let his support know what he needed.
Can you decipher the code to see what he is missing?
Items needed
-bcd-fghijklmnopq-s-uv-xyz__________
abc-e-ghijklmn-2 pqrstuvwxyz
He was in need of Water & food.
The letters were replaced with –(minus) to indicate what he was missing. The -2 indicated two of the same letters were missing.

Adept, you ever get the solution to the second question I sent you?
A man teaches his pet a trick and, as a result, another man goes insane.
How are these events connected?
__________
This is from the poem "The Raven", by Edgar Allan Poe.
I've also accepted "parrot" as a valid answer for this.
No.Quote:

Is this a Mindtrap question where the other team can ask yes/no questions?Quote:

the pet is a parrot and he teaches him to say only one word, which the parrot repeats day and night, he sells it to someone else and it drives the guy insane.Quote:

Correct. Although I was expecting to get the "word" also.Quote:

PS - to those who will point out that Poe's story involved a raven and not a parrot, thereby making DA's original answer less that precise, I say "meh".
Alice is walking thought the forest of forgetfulness. She wants to know what day of the week it is. She stops and asks a lion and a unicorn.
Now the lion lies all of the time on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The unicorn always lies on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Alice asks the lion what day it is, he says, "Well yesterday was one of my lying days." Well Alice cant figure it out just from the Lions answer so she asks the unicorn and the unicorn says, "Yesterday was also one of my lying days."
What day is it?
__________
Thursday.
The lion was telling the truth, yesterday (wednesday) was one of his lying days. The unicorn was lying, yesterday was one of his truth days.
Thursday.Quote:

I must say I'm a little disturbed about all that probing you say you have no direct interest in. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
May I remind you that YOU are the one that keeps bringing up probing? Have you ever considered a career as a proctologist? :pQuote:
