Gem Of A Deal Lateral Puzzle A man encounters a shady individual while on his way home from work. He tells the man that he has a bag of jewelry he is willing to sell for very cheap. His reason is that he simply found the bag after a group of robbers accidentally dropped it running out of a local jewelry shop during their escape, and he just wants to make a quick profit from it now. The man, being gullible, shells out the money being asked for the bag of loot. When he open the bag he finds it is full of diamonds, rubies, pearls, emeralds and sapphires. On his way home he stops by a friend's house to show him the bag and the great fortune he had in making such a great purchase.

A Paragraph To Puzzle Over Can you determine the strange pattern this paragraph follows? I dislike paragraph puzzles; I really do. Because solving them is impossible for me. So, the only choice I have is creating my very own. There is something odd here. This sentence, including the many others, follows some small rule. Writing like this over long periods is very difficult. Maybe I have said enough and made this one too easy, but then only time will tell.
Answer: It is an alternating pattern of words containing and not containing the letter E.

Simple Encryption A scientist made a startling breakthrough in his experiment. Needing to go home for the night, he could not write down his results because for the past month he has suspected the janitor is a spy for a rival lab. Knowing the janitor is not very bright, but that he can get into just about anything, the scientist decided to disguise his findings with a message. After leaving though, he felt his message would still be understood by the dimwitted janitor and left a voice mail for one of his assistants on shift later that night to put a simple encoding on his message that he could easily decode the next day. Unfortunately, he had 4 assistants on shift that night, and each one independently encoded the previous assistant's encryption with yet another simple encryption. Luckily all the encryptions were easy and the scientist was able to recover his findings after some work.

At Your Convenience Lateral Puzzle I was at the beach for vacation where they were celebrating Irish Weekend. An event took place 3 years ago during this same weekend. As a result, the past two years people witnessed something that had never been done before.
Answer: The event that took place was a food fight. It occurred inside a WAWA store at the end of the night as all the drunk people flooded the place once the bars began to close. As a result WAWA has closed their doors during the evening of this event each year to prevent this from happening again. Until that time, the store had remained open 24-7 all year long.

Common Mistakes All 3 of these sentences have one thing in common that makes each one incorrect. What is it? 1) After finishing his shower, Bill opened his bathroom cabinet and realized he was all out of q-tips. 2) The little girl felt so much better after her mother covered the cut with a band-aid. 3) Before entering the store, Dave had to quickly finish his soft drink and discard the styrofoam cup in the trash can.
Answer: Each sentence contains a brand name commonly mistaken for a generic item. Brand names should be capitalized. Q-Tips are a brand of cotton swabs. Band-Aids are a brand of bandages. Styrofoam cups are a brand of polystyrene cups.
The Passing Lane A math problem.... You are driving in the left lane of a two lane highway using cruise control set at 70 mph. A car comes up behind you and wants to pass. Being lazy and not wanting to use your feet, you vow not to switch lanes until there is enough distance between two cars in the right lane which will allow you to switch lanes and let the car pass...and then return to the left lane without turning off your cruise control. What is the minimum distance (in feet) needed between two cars in the right lane for you to accomplish this...assuming the following: a) a car and it's buffer zone between the front and back is 15 feet in length. b) the car passing you accelerates at 5 mph/second and will not go above 80 mph. (also the car will have slowed down to 70 mph impatiently waiting for you to switch lanes) c) it takes you 2 seconds to completely switch lanes which is a distance of 10 feet. d) cars in the right lane are all traveling at 55 mph.

Steam, Or Not To Steam Lateral Puzzle Two young brothers, Bobby and Ricky, wake up and both need to use the shower in order to start the day. Bobby wins a coin toss and gets to use it first. Ricky, however, says he needs to go to the bathroom, but promises to be out quick and still let Bobby shower first. Ricky takes a couple minutes, then exits as promised to let Bobby shower. Bobby takes very long showers, and before long Ricky is pounding on the door for him to hurry up. After a while, he pounds again saying the same thing. Bobby finally finishes and gets out of the shower. Grabbing his towel he notices something strange. There are 2 mirrors and one is completely fogged up. The second mirror has almost no steam on it. It has a message written on it saying ‘Hurry Up next time!’ The strangest thing is that the message is written as the fogged up part of the mirror while the rest is clear. Bobby checks the bathroom door and it is still locked. Did Ricky sneak in, and even if he did, Bobby wonders, how he would have done this?
Answer: The message was written by Ricky while he was in the bathroom. Soap is a surfactant and will lower the surface tension of water. If soap is rubbed onto a mirror, then steam will not fog it up since the tiny bubbles of water cannot hold their shape when condensing on it. To write the message in reverse fog, Ricky needed to take soap and cover the entire mirror. Then, he would have taken a wet rag and removed soap from the mirror in the shape of the letters needed for his message. Now during a hot shower, water can condense and fog up the part of the mirror where the letters were traced.
