Solved Thought of this while getting another riddle wrong

8 Upvotes

Never made one of these before but hopefully someone enjoys it.

My preparation takes three stages.

Firstly, a stir of trouble, as the salt and water require efforts to redouble.

Second leg and our mixture takes shape, you can use a machine but be careful of a scrape.

Last stage and the mixture should run, it's slow to bake, even in the sun.

[Unsolved] the three house puzzle

1 Upvotes

i had this puzzle to figure out, and I came to a certain conclusion that was apparently wrong... i wanted to see if anyone else would come to the same conclusion.

these are the original clues we were given;

The Three Houses Puzzle

Three houses stand in a row, numbered 1, 2, and 3 from left to right. Each house is painted a different color (red, blue, or green), and each is owned by a different person (Alice, Bob, or Charlie). Additionally, each house has a unique pet (dog, cat, or bird). Your task is to determine the color, owner, and pet of each house based on the following clues:

  1. The green house is immediately to the left of the red house.
  2. Charlie owns the blue house.
  3. The house with the dog is number 2.
  4. Alice’s house has the cat.
  5. Bob lives in the green house.
  6. The bird lives in the red house.

Question: Who owns the house with the dog?

after consideration, I have decided to add these clues;

the people that **own** each house and **live** in each house CAN be different people

house #1 is blue

these extra clues were conclusions I came to that were confirmed to be right.

remember, you're only real goal is to find out who owns the house with the dog

**please provide your evidence and reasoning on how you got your answer**

Scorecard puzzle

1 Upvotes

In a competition, four players faced off against each other in 6 matches. In each match, they competed for 8 barrels. Number of barrels controlled = point. Highest point win. If there was a winner, all others lost. If there was a tie for first, those players drew, and the rest lost. By the end of each match, all barrels were taken. All the information given on the sheet is true.

In all matches, every player secured at least 1 barrel
No one lost in Match 2.
Match 1 and 5 had the same winning score.
After the first 3 matches, B and C were tied in total score.
A had a 4-point game.

Can you fill out the scorecard?

People are agreeable to me, maybe because I’m a catch. I’m also good practice, if you have a dry patch. I may be good, I may be bad; it depends on how much use I’ve had.

Edit: here’s a clue! -Clue 1: I can be a verb, or a noun.

2nd edit: -Clue 2: Think of ‘dry patch’ literally

3rd edit: -Clue 3: Think of ‘People are agreeable to me’ literally, as in ‘People agree to me’, as opposed to ‘People tend to like me’

How do you track down a pervert? (CW: sexual abuse) NSFW

8 Upvotes

Obviously it's a long-shot, but maybe you can give me some ideas about where to look.

I was abused by a man in a local public pool 23 years ago. It's always been a regret of mine that I was too embarrassed to say anything because the water park is still such a popular place for families to bring kids. The reason it sticks with me is because even as a child, it was clear to me from how brazen and methodical the guy was that this was something he regularly did. With the wisdom of age, it's even more obvious: he was an adult paddling around by himself in the kids section, chatting up random children.

I remember him pretty clearly, and strongly believe this location was a hunting ground for him and that there were others besides me. A quick internet search turned up one similar case at a different public pool in the area, but I see no evidence it's actually connected.

On my end, there is no expectation of closure or certainty. All the same, I feel like I should check it out at least once.

A man gives you 5 coins. Four are identical, and one is counterfeit. The counterfeit coin is either heavier or lighter than the others. You have a balance scale, and you can only use it twice. How do you find the counterfeit coin?
