Nope, still incorrect.
What about the first riddle? No one even tried.
I still think that Billy being a mute explains it very well.
Otherwise, maybe he saw two animals fighting i.e. a rat killing another rat

Well, if Billy was mute don't you think he should have someone there with him like an aid? Both are still incorrect though.Buckles wrote:

If a riddle is posed well, then it doesn't contain superfluous (or distracting) information. Each phrase supports the answer. Thus the "lateness/shortcut", "heard something", etc. must all support the solution.firebolt5 wrote:

Billy just witnessed a group of crows.firebolt5 wrote:
Billy was walking home from school. He knew he was going to be late, so he decided to take a shortcut. The shortcut was an abandoned street. As he was walking he heard something! It all happened too fast, he had just witnessed a murder. But when he got home, why didn't Billy say anything about the murder?
I got an easy one, what has bat wings and legs but a head of a fox?
The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.
Is billy blind? So, he heard something but didn't know that is was a murder.firebolt5 wrote:

EDIT: Oh OK, a murder = a group of crows (thank you wikipedia). That's a terrible riddle, it requires uncommon knowledge. I'm not a bird watcher.

15 more years! 15 more years!
Ok this riddle was on NYTIMES the other day, so I didn't make it up. here it is:
There are 100 men standing in a single file line. Upon each one of these men's heads is either a red or a blue hat, placed randomly on each man's head. The men cannot see their own hat, but a man can see all the hats in front of him. The men are not allowed to say the words "red" or "blue" until their turns come.
On their turn, an executioner will walk up to them, starting with the last person in line and demand a ONE WORD answer of "red" or "blue." If the person gets it right, he is set free, but if he is wrong, he dies.
Knowing this, devise a method that enables the largest number of men to be set free. Assume that the men can talk freely with each other until their turn comes, and can remember and compute things on the fly.

Because Billy lives in Vichy France and has just witnessed a Gestapo hit, I dunno. (I spent too much time looking at firebolt's avatar, lol)
