There are many things that can't be seen with plain simple sight. When you start to look at things closely you can notice things are misplaced, But where are they can you see them? Now that you have this lets go.

-In old times, a man was hung for punishment for robbery. In this scence, a corpse is hung head toward the ground, with a rope tied to his right ankle and a bucket on his left, this was already his third day hung. The mans's eyes are blue and his hair is wet and there is a fish on the ground. There is a woman looking down from a 3rd floor, in a state of shock. How did the man die?

Poisoned fish? Felicitous

Is there any significance to your using the term "hung" as opposed to "hanged"? I think that the latter is the proper English term for past-tense execution in that sense.

Well, I can't say this really qualifies as execution by "hanging," since the rope was tied around his ankle rather than his neck. So I would say that "hung" is right.

One possibility seems to be that he died of drowning, if he were hung down into a pool of water, though I'm not sure what the bucket would be for. Or where he would be located for there to be a 3rd floor to be looking down from.

The man was a blue eyed bungee jumping window cleaner, who cleaned windows in multi-story apartments by jumping off the roof with a rope tied to his ankle, then as he decended he quickly cleaned all the windows. Alas, on this particular day on his jump downwards, he clashed with a senile old lady who was cooling her freshly fried Haddock by holding the pan out of the window. His head smacked into the pan killing him instantly, knocking the fish out and onto the pavement below. The lady was shocked that her freshly fried Haddock was now in ruins on a dirty sidewalk.

Well, his corpse was hung, so he must have died before they hung him.

My guess? The fish was a record breaking fish that had been caught earlier that day that had been hung by the pier for display. The man was caught trying to untie the fish so they shot him in the act and then replaced the fish with him as a deterrent for future thieves.

He drowned with the water in the bucket, since he didn't have enough strength.

Then to the next one...
If you are going up on an elevator to the 14th floor from the 4th and the person on the elevator next to you is going down to the 3rd floor from the 6th, and there is a line that connects the shafts to only allow them to seperate a certain number of floors (10). Who will not make it to their stop?

He drowned. Thats how he died. It doesnt answer how he got into that position in the first place. But likewise it doesnt ask that either.

The bucket was filled with water with fish inside. The lady was the owner of the bucket which fell from the building. Happy?

One or two loose ends, but apart from that, a fine example of a perplexing puzzle.
Even more-so, now that we have the answer.

Scene 1: A robber sneaks into his best-friend's house, he wants to steal the parrot in the backyard, which says profanity out loud.

Scene 2: The cage of the parrot with a sign (Beware the parrot), with a chain strapped on to a blind, old, female German Shepard which is sleeping.

Scene 3: The robber with the parrot in his hands holding it by body.

Scene 4: The robber in the hospital, biten all over.


What happen and what did he do wrong?

Hey, no fair. You gave us two weeks to attempt the first one, and two days to do this one. How long are we going to get for the next? Two minutes?

When the Robber when in and grabbed the parrot and the bird said Bitch (since the bird yells out profanity).
Which is the dawg's name. This was why the dog attacked, the robber should have shut the bird's beak.

Simple math:
If 4=3 and 5x5=24 so then, 4x3-5=6
So then what does, the sq. root of 3(9-5+8)-3x 4% equal?

P.S. to get this correct show all your work.

We like puzzles that have obvious (though not immediately so) answers. For hundreds of examples, consult the archives of this site. Your puzzles are obscure and preposterous and, in the case of the third, a horrific retelling of a very old, very bad, puzzle. Folks are not replying to you because your 'puzzles' are not good. Please be mature about this; we are not poking fun at you, merely at your mistaken attempt to share puzzles.

PS People won't take you seriously when you claim to be a master encryptor and hacker, pseudonym or no. (check the times of the first two posts)

I am an ecryptor and if I give you what I solve everyday you will spend months, so go play along with your nintendo and leave this to the big boys... after I give the answer tomorrow I'll give you a little sample of my job. Just so you can spend a few weeks without bothering and so i can leave you stupified. And now for hacking... I am a hacker, anyone that modifies or exploits a program is a hacker, there are some better, and some people are like you which don't know up from down, but that is not my problem. So come tomorrow I am going to rock the little toy world you live in.

Very funny when you do not know what you are saying... My cousin got banned from here 2 month ago for spamming the forums like the buffoon he is. And for your insolence of not being able to answer my puzzles shows you do not deserve a spot here in this forum.

You have 24 hours to sove this very simple 81 bit encryption. It is a 40 character key puzzle which takes 2 minutes to make and 4 to solve, with common sense... which most of you do not have. In the key the symbols go in the ? ! . , order and numbers after letters. This is an inverse 3rd degree encryption. Happy non-solving!!

Sorry Projectyl, but I think he's got you there... you really shouldn't just throw around comments like that. I mean, when you're wrong, you're wrong.
