Getting warmer

 

Sorry Marja ... See the hint for Detox

 

Geez, guys, BigC has already given the right answer about the boat. The first three rungs(top) never go under because as the tide rises the boat rises. It didn't say the tide was going out, did it?<img>! A pound of gold would fit real good in anyone's pocket these days, better than feathers!

I think the answer to #2 is electrons, right, dog?
Or maybe elections?

Ok, Gerardwill, the only white hole I can figure out in that puzzle is the one in my head for trying to figure it out!! These riddles can drive ya nuts!

And when I look down, maybe it is a spacebar and ch poori is chinese porridge? There were at least eight F's in that other thingie!

OK!! Awl, is that it?

Is the answer to #2, Enron, dog?


My head hurts, and I still need to find out about the tires!

Marja, just a little blue full moon crazy!

 

Only a couple left ... till I post some more Brain Teasers.

From Post # 1 -

From Post # 2 - Proving to be Tuff

And Post # 3 -

Any more guesses ... or do you want the answers?

 

I think we are waiting breathlessly, dog!

 

#3 would be 6

 

Ok ... #2 First ..... drum roll

Answer:
The number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,and 0 on a keyboard when you hold the shift button down.

 

Correct ...

There are six F's in the sentence. There is no catch. Many people forget the F in "OF", and that word appears three times in the sentence. The human brain tends to see them as V's and not F's!

 

Q. ch poorri

A. Take from the rich, give to the poor

 

Well, duh! A Keyboard!! That's enough for me, my critters are barking and meowing for food, the next move is to jump on my keyboard!!
I'll leave the answers for ..... tommorrow? I'm sure that boat is still sinking! Had fun, guys!!
