Since math likely isn't my strong point, and I shouldn't try to me SMRT with math-like problems (and I more than likely fudged up what i was trying to say before) heres a couple more to try -- a Mystery and a Puzzle

Mystery #1: A man marries twenty women in his village but isn't charged with polygamy.

Mystery #2: A man rides into town on Friday. He stays three nights and leaves on Friday.

Puzzle #1: Connect all 9 dots, using only 4 straight lines.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

1. He is the vicar
2. Friday is the name of his horse and I gave up after that

+2 points for you! You get to find the next one

I know the solution for the dots as I use it in training to encourage people to ....think outside the box...

*lol* great clue

Heres a couple more that i ran across --
1. What gets wetter and wetter, the more it dries?

2. Give me food, and I will live; give me water, and I will die. What am I?

3. The beginning of eternity, The end of time and space, The beginning of every end, And the end of every place.

1. A towel
2. A fire
3. I like the third one and I'm not sure that I want to give it away. I saw the answer in a letter once.

Well, you guys got all 3 of the last puzzles -- too quick for me. The only ones I had left, are the right-angle-triangle puzzle, and the dots puzzle.

Otherwise, its someone else's turn to post another mystery/puzzle!
