Hi everybody!

Congratulations to Naomi, Momtahina, and Katherine who all got the last riddle right. The answer was that the wife shot a photo of her husband, the developed the photo, and then hanged it on the wall. Now, here comes the next riddle:

He who has it doesn’t tell it, he who takes it doesn’t know it, he who knows it doesn’t want it. What is it?

Hope it’s not too hard or not too easy.

Good luck!

Hi everybody!

 Congartulations to Naomi who solved the riddle and thanks to everyone who tried! Here is the answer: He said his hat was blue! This happened because it already says there were 2 blues so it was still possible for him to have either. But it was made clear he was wearing blue because if there were 2 blues and 1 white hat, 2 men would see 1 white and 1 blue, while another would see 2 blues. Then these 2 that see 1 white 1 blue would say blue because of the other one’s silence they would think that the other could see more than one blue therefore the other would take his time to wonder if there are 3 blues or 2 blues and a white. This would happen quickly. But because in this case it took long, it was clearly seen to be 3 blues. Hope it wasn’t too hard or too easy. Here comes the next riddle:

A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?

Hope it’s not too hard or too easy!

Hi everybody!

I am writing chapters 6 and 7 of the book, Where The Whales Sing by Victor Kelleher. Here they are!

Chapter 6 - Journeys End

Claire suddenly saw a ……………. WHALING SHIP!!!! Thinking about nothing else but the whales, she dived into the water to warn the whales. She jumped onto the calf. The calf, thinking she was playing, surfaced. When they reached the surface, she stood on the calf as soon as the whaler shot the harpoon. And then, everything went black.

Chapter 7 - Saved

Claire awoke suddenly and wondered where she was. She saw her mother and father around her. She realized she was in the hospital. Her dad started attacking with her questions. Claire told them everything. When she had finished, her parents had disapproving looks on their faces. Finally, she went along with her parents version of the truth. But, in her heart, she knew what the truth was.

Hope you enjoyed it!
