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.

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!

Stitch · **Reply #167 on:** April 23, 2008, 10:46:33 AM

C ate them up.

Clawandfang · **Reply #168 on:** April 23, 2008, 11:37:05 AM

"C" ate the sausages, the greedy little....

Mornai · **Reply #169 on:** April 23, 2008, 02:28:23 PM

C is the Sausage Culprit.

lbt/cty_lover · **Reply #170 on:** April 23, 2008, 04:21:19 PM

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)

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.

lbt/cty_lover · **Reply #172 on:** April 24, 2008, 06:09:44 AM

I have a punishment. He can't have any sausages for a month.

Clawandfang · **Reply #173 on:** April 24, 2008, 12:41:52 PM

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

Stitch · **Reply #174 on:** April 24, 2008, 01:53:37 PM

Let's go for 70.

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #175 on:** April 24, 2008, 03:14:58 PM

Okay, for 70 points:

The numbers below all follow a certain rule.

12311?1213

What is the missing number?

---------

Good luck!

Mornai · **Reply #176 on:** April 24, 2008, 03:39:36 PM

My guess is 1.

lbt/cty_lover · **Reply #177 on:** April 24, 2008, 09:11:10 PM

I say that the number is 1.

Stitch · **Reply #178 on:** April 24, 2008, 09:29:10 PM

My guess is 1.

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #179 on:** April 25, 2008, 02:10:38 AM

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.
