  2. 1. I guess the woman would wait for the guard to go into the tower, and during the time he'd stay in the tower (3 minutes), she would walk to the middle of the bridge, and then she'd start walking backwards, towards Germany, so that when the guard would see her, he's send her "back" to Switzerland..! ;)

  7. 2. This riddle is often referred to as "the psycopath test"... A true psychopath would reason that if this man (not necessarily the minister) showed up at her mother's funeral, then he would probably appear at her sister's funeral.

    The hotel is a 6 day ride after getting into town because the hotel is on top of a rough mountain lol.

  34. 1- the woman walked halfway, then turned around as the guard came to check (pretending that she came from the other side)
    2- she did it because she assumed the man would come again (if he came to her mother's, then perhaps he would come to her sister's)
    3- what time is it, how many people have died
    4- a fortnight is how I interpreted it (more of a wording technicality)
    5- assumed it would be a relative (grandparent, mother seemed "too obvious")

    ReplyDelete
  35. (2) the woman fell in love with the man who was a sociopath who had killed her mother so when he wanted her sister dead she vowed to kill for him and serve as a slave? Has anyone thought of this? Or is it just me?
