Clawandfang, Stitch, lbt/cty_lover and Mornai all got it right.  The girl's birthday is Janurary 2nd.

The conversation with the girl must've taken place December 31st.

The woman was 19 on New Year's Day last year, and she turned 20 the next day.  This year, she turned 21, and in two days, after the new year starts, she'll turn 22.

----------

So, the score thus far:

Stitch: 380 points (12 Hint Points)

Flathead770: 0 points (10 Hint Points)

Mornai: 355 points (14 Hint Points)

Clawandfang: 680 points (14 Hint Points)

LBTFan13: 0 points (10 Hint Points)

You're quite welcome. *doesn't want to say more, though he could, but wants to keep it all secret*

Now, the puzzle.

For 40 points:

Somebody ate the butcher's sausages!  Here's what these four boys have to say:

A: "B ate the sausages!"
B: "D ate them all up!"
C: "I didn't eat them, no way!"
D: "B's totally lying!"

Only one of these rascals is telling the truth and all the others are, needless to say, lying.  Can you figure out who ate the sausages?

-------------

Good luck!

C did it. 60 seconds.

I'm finally on Naruto Shippuuden! I decided to skip all the filler episodes in Naruto so that I could see Shippuuden.

Stitch, Clawandfang, Mornai and lbt/cty_lover got it right.  The correct answer is that C ate the sausages.  The only one telling the truth was D.

If you assume A to be the culprit, both C's and D's statements must be correct.  Choose B, and the other three boys' statements must be true.  If you make D out to be the criminal, then what both B and C are saying must be true.

Only C being the suspect makes it possible for only one, D in this case, to being truthful.  Now to decide C's punishment. :)

------------

So, the score thus far:

Stitch: 420 points (12 Hint Points)

Flathead770: 0 points (10 Hint Points)

Mornai: 395 points (14 Hint Points)

Clawandfang: 720 points (14 Hint Points)

LBTFan13: 0 points (10 Hint Points)

Tails_155: 80 points (12 Hint Points)

lbt/cty_lover: 610 points (13 Hint Points)

Mumbling: 220 points (14 Hint Points)

action9000: 0 points (10 Hint Points)

mcr mad: 0 points (10 Hint Points)
----------------

We are down to the last week of the puzzles.  The rules will change soon, ensuring that even the ones that are behind have a chance at making a HUGE comeback and winning it all.  Just because you've got the lead now doesn't mean you'll win it all.  There's one last little thing that will make all the difference.

For now, Stitch, it's your turn. :)

No, he should have nothing but sausages for a month. He won't be stealing any more after that.

Good luck! :)

Mornai, lbt/cty_lover and Stitch got it right.  The correct answer is one.

With this puzzle, the numbers are actually dates on a calander with the "/" and "," removed.  If we add them, it looks like this:

12/31, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3

With those symbols removed and making them scrunched together, it makes it alot harder to solve.

So, the score thus far:

Stitch: 490 points (12 Hint Points)

Flathead770: 0 points (10 Hint Points)

Mornai: 465 points (14 Hint Points)

Clawandfang: 720 points (13 Hint Points)

Okay Mornai, your turn. :)
