A man is on a trip with a fox, goose, and a sack of corn. He comes upon a stream, which he has to cross, and finds a tiny boat which he can use. The problem though, is that he can only take himself and either the fox, goose, or the corn across at a time. It is not possible for him to leave the fox alone with the goose, or the goose alone with the corn. How can he get all safely over the stream? this’ll be 7

“…Both mun and I know this one very well… it’s almost cheating for any Layton player…

Anyway, take the goose first, then come back for the fox, take the fox over and bring the goose back over with you, then take the corn over with the fox, then go back for the goose.”

You are standing in front of a room with 1 light bulb inside. You cannot see if it is on or off. Outside the room there are 3 switches in off position. You have to find out which switch controls the light bulb inside, but you get to enter the room only once. So how do you find out? this one only has 1 correct answer without cheating.

“Hmm… I’d turn one switch on, leave it there for a good while, then turn it off and turn another one on. Then go inside the room and check the bulb. If it’s on, it’s the second switch. If it’s off, but the bulb is warm, it’s the first switch. If it’s off and cold, it’s the third, untouched switch.”

“I don’t think so… wait! Maybe something relating to knitting?”

“…Could be done, yes… But what would need to be knit that need a hundred sheep? You were the one that said clouds… While the sky isn’t typically brown, water can be, when it gets muddy. And we do have the Red Sea. Though water is generally thought of as blue. And the ocean could take out a ton of sheep and still have more than enough room for more…”

Four numbers where in a race//they’re all a little odd but having fun anyway// the luckiest finished last while the oldest showed them how it’s done.// the youngest wasn’t the worst but they couldn’t never beat their elder.//what order did they finish in?

“Hmm… Quite the interesting one…Seven must be last, being seen as the luckiest. It seven isn’t the oldest, then that must be nine? Though… saying the youngest couldn’t never is a double negative. Don’t know if that was intentional or not, considering the youngest has to be in between two higer numbers… Unless ‘showing how it’s done’ only applied to seven, and the younger really does beat all the older numbers. With how it’s written, I’d hazard seven in last, nine in third, five in second, and three in first. Though, that said, problems come up depending on whether you use three and five, five and one, or three and one…. So many possible problems in wording… but I’ll go 7953 last to first for now.”

After teaching his class all about the Roman numerals (X=10, IX=9 and so on) the teacher asked his class to draw a single continuous line and turn IX into 6. The only stipulation the teacher made was that the pen could not be lifted from the paper until the line was complete. we have a cute list, should we have a smut list for you two? 5 smutty things to do with your detective?

“…If that’s my incentive for getting it wrong, is my incentive for getting them right supposed to be to add more?”

(…*pokes Kai after he doesn’t say anything else for a minute*)

“Hmm? Oh, right… Start by drawing a line in the middle of the numeral, so the ‘X’ is cut in half, then keep the pen down and cross out the top part completely and turn the paper over. Should leave you with VI.”
