  1. With an instrument you start to write,

    You’ll might need help from the FBI,

    Internally save your energy and then

    Follow these clues with an eye,

    Ultimately you’ll add them all in,

    And then you’ll know what I am!

    Hint

    I don't describe an object.

    Every line is a clue for one or more letters except the last one.

    I hope it's not too easy!

    :lol:;)B))

  2. :( Well

    Be systematic, certain time need it,

    As the committee forming a cycle- comets are forming a cycle

    For competency, then US doesn't fit- I took the word committee and erased the extra letter (us doesn't fit- plural doesn't fit, like two letters don't fit)

    What I am referring to, in this riddle?

    I only had one problem, to erase that 'i' from the 'comite'

    Question - is the word committee forming a cycle or is it something else?!

    One word again?

    Assembling or indicating on a specific object?

    Sorry about the questions, they are the same as with the previous riddle!

    :D

  3. No it's not an animal, but it has something to do with a certain animal!

    Two animals would be too obvious. :)

    Just to explain the 'certain animal' hint.

    It's simple - goose feathers, they are/were used to fill the pillows inner casing (nowadays they are more often using synthetic fibers)

    :)

  4. Great tries, andro and raven. :D

    Every line does not give a letter. That's why this is so difficult. ;)

    And one line gives 2 letters. That's an anomaly you have to cope with.

    And there are totally 5 letters to be found. They are in order, so when you spell out the letters you will immediately see the word.

    And you need outside information for the Chessman one.

    These are not hints. I am just clearing things up and I didn't mention them at the start, as it would have defeated the purpose of the riddle. :D

    :P

  5. a copy machine??

    No. Read my previous answer it has nothing to do with paper!

    But I understand why you thought of that!

    I may have mislead you by not emphasizing that it's not about paper but again it's about shape!

    Good luck! ;)

  6. Thank you. :D

    An envelope INSIDE an envelope? lol

    Nice try, but forget about the paper (it has nothing to do with paper) and think about the shape!

    Imagine if you could inflate that envelope?

    I hope this will help for someone to finally crack it!

    B))

    I rest my case!

  7. barber_pole3.gif Is it going up or going down? Let your brain decide.

    To me it looks like that the red and the blue stripe are going up, but the white one is going down!

    :blink:

    No, no they are all going up, but for a second it seamed to me...

  8. Edit: Well...Now that I think about it...I don't think that would have 2 bellies?

    An envelope??

    You are very close!!!

    Think of an

    envelope that is really stuffed with a lots of papers...

    I almost told you what it is!

    And Welcome to BD! :D;)

  9. Did you mean "bellies" as in stomachs or "belies" as in disguises/contradictions? Although either one would still have me stumped! :P

    I meant

    I don't know how to write this down without almost telling what the object is but... that object is kinda belie shaped and has 4 ears, well ear like parts... a lot of hints come to my mind but if I write them down...

    ;)

  10. I don't know

    "When I'm heard I'm half the size-something like PH or SH or something like that when you pronounce it you only hear one voice for those two letters

    I am ten, and also five.-well X is ten, V is five (Roman numerals) other than that, I don't know

    Ten to start, and a wee-same as the previous one (XV)

    Another rhymes - 4th of key-no idea about this line

    Chessman broken not a daughter-chessman broken on 'ch' and 'essman' but I don't know what might come in between; not a daughter-is it a son?

    1/4 first and last 3/4-see the previous line

    U R solving it really fast-no I'm definitely not solving it fast

    Colored bodies will come last"-no idea about this

    You see, I can't assemble anything from this.

    I'm stuck!

    :excl:

  11. Why should I lie? Cause you are.....correct!

    Congrats and Hurray!!! :D:lol::D (do we have any icon dancing crazily? <_< )

    odd number, eleven but not even = eleven - even = el

    and the other 3, you figure them out 100% correctly.

    Whoopee!

    I was busting my mind for hours but I enjoyed it!

    If you have some more BRING IT ON!

    :D

  12. You are killing me slowly with this :lol:

    Is it

    Elephant

    (el-this one I don't know)

    (2.718-e)

    (call-phone-ph)

    (ended with small-ant)

    Is this the right solution?!

    Lie to me please if you have to, I can't take it anymore!

    :wacko:

  13. Hm... what I don't understand is

    I'll need another hint if this is wrong!

    you said nothing about weather the other violinists came out of their rooms when the gun fired. You only wrote that Ben came out of the bathroom! But, if they all came out after the shot then Doug did it, because there was no way for him to hear the shot cause he ''had been practicing in a sound proof room and hadn’t heard a thing''.

    Or cops found Doug practicing when they searched the theater?!

    Other two guys were in their rooms that weren't sound proof. Why Doug did it, I have no idea, maybe he wanted to be the lead violinist?!

    :blink:

    I had made a mistake weather/whether

    I meant to use the second word :lol:

  14. This is a long shot but

    a dog attack the scarecrow.

    Or, you're gonna laugh, a clown attacked the scarecrow. :lol:

    Again I don't know why would a clown attack a scarecrow.

    While, who knows why dogs do the things that they do, they're dogs!

    My brain is overheated so I'll go and shove it in a bucket of ice!

    :wacko:

  15. OK! This is quite a brain stretcher but I managed to untangle this much

    mangled unidentifiable human body is actually a scarecrow stuffed with old (news)papers (garden path, people busy talking, not paying very close attention to the murder scene)

    That is as far as I got. I don't know who did it and why.

    Is this finally any good!?!?! :blink:

  16. Here are my 26 composite triangles

    2 parts (11) : 1-6, 2-3, 2-7, 3-8, 4-5, 4-9, 6-7, 7-8, 10-11, 11-13, 12-13

    3 parts (5) : 1-2-3, 6-7-8, 7-8-11, 9-10-11, 9-10-12

    4 parts (4) : 1-4-5-6, 2-3-7-8, 5-6-7-8, 7-8-11-13

    5 parts (3): 2-3-7-8-11, 4-5-6-7-8, 9-10-11-12-13

    6 parts (1) : 2-3-7-8-11-13

    7 parts (1) : 1-4-5-6-9-10-12

    8 parts (1) : 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8

    together with 11 base triangles it must be 37?

    Uuuuuu... so close but not quite, you still have

    one more with 6 parts!!!

    5-6-7-8-10-11

    BTW

    I like your methodology! I started with triangle 1 and listing every possible triangle that contains triangle 1 and so on...

    Nice job!!! :D
