Since that's not technically a question, I'll just say it's wrong.

I am so glad to see that your first WD post was in the MindTrap thread. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif


You're welcome, as well as wrong. :D

Heh, damn. I found this thread actually by a google search for something else, can't even remeber what it was, but I stumbled into this very thread. And seeing as how I love Mindtrap and logic puzzles so much I thought I'd sign up and join your game :D

I will answer your questions about it with "yes", "no" or "does not apply" only. Phrase your questions accordingly, and type them in bold please.

The question starts at 10 points, and 1 point will be removed each time I answer a clue or someone elses posts one.

If this works it will become a permanent addition to the game.
====================================



Billy Gator, a professional writer, was sitting in his cabin writing a letter.

There was a violent electrical storm outside and suddenly Billy died.

How did he die?

---

Billy was on on an artificial lung machine. The storm knocked out his electricity, the machine failed which caused his death.

OMG I am so dumb! The cabin he is in is the cabin of a PLANE! Lightning storm + 30,000 feet = I hope you're wearing clean underware. =/

You're not just dumb, you're also correct! :p

Although the answer lacks finesse, the essentials are there, so the 8 points goes to you.

Not a bad start. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif

You must tell us, now that you're "one of us".

What were you googling for that would bring up this page? https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

Under what circumstances would that possible?

Maybe two boys, two girls and a hermaphrodite? :eek2:

You're right - that was #12.

I'm starting to repeat myself.

I'll still give you the points for that. Wasn't you fault.

There are 7 people in a room at a party.

During the introductions, they all shook each other's hands once - and only once.

What was the total number of handshakes given in that room?

21. Remember that when A greets B, B has also greeted A once.

Wasn't my fault either. Why does he get the only points? We should all get points for your screwup.
