Riddle: A man is locked in a room with a serial killer. The killer says that he will allow the man to escape if he can beat him in the serial killer's favorite game. If the man loses, the serial killer will kill him. The rules of the game are as follows: 1. Each man must take turns placing a coin on a perfectly round table. 2. The coins must lay flat. 3. The coins cannot overlap each other. 4. The coins cannot hang off the edge of the table at all. 5. The first man to run out of room to place a coin on the table loses. The serial killer is very confident in his ability to win at this game, so he lets the man go first. What can the man do to guarantee that he wins the game?

Answer: The man must first place a coin in the center of the table. He then must replicate every move the serial killer makes on the opposite side of the table. Eventually the serial killer will run out of places to place a coin and the man will win.

Riddle: Ray Whitcombe was found dead in his office at his desk. The police have narrowed the suspects down to three people: Mrs. Barbara Whitcombe, Ray's wife; Mr. Jason McCubbins, Ray's business partner; and Mr. Harold Nichols, Ray's best friend. All three visited Mr. Whitcombe on the day of his murder, and they explained the reason for their visit to the police. The police found Mr. Whitcombe with his wristwatch still on his right arm, a torn-up picture of his wife lying on the floor beside the trash can, and an ink pen in his right hand. On the desk, the police found a nameplate, a telephone that was off the hook, and a personal calendar turned to the July 5th page with 7B91011 written on it. After examining this evidence, the police knew their suspect. Who was it?

Answer: Jason McCubbins, Ray's business partner. The calendar is the clue to solving this murder. The police realized that since Mr. Whitcombe was wearing his watch on his right arm, he must be left-handed. But the pen was found in his right hand. Realizing that the number on the calendar was written in a hurry and with his opposite hand, the police matched the written number with the months of the year. So the B was an 8, thereby giving us 7-8-9-10-11: July, August, September, October, and November. Use the first letter of each month and it spells J-A-S-O-N

Riddle: A dead female body lies at the bottom of a multistory building. It looks as though she committed suicide by jumping from one of the floors.

He continues to do this until he gets to the top floor of the building. When he comes back down, he states that it was a murder and not a suicide. How does he know that?

Answer: She couldn’t have jumped from any of the floors because when the detective went to each floor, all of the windows were closed.
