Don't get your knickers in a twist. I generally leave these open for 3 or 4 days so folks who only occasionally drop in have a chance to take a look. I'll post the official answers tomorrow.

The Official Answers

1. Frost forms on the inside of the window, not the outside. So Mr. Fiend could not have wiped it off to discover Mr. Tidy`s body.

2. Your heart.

3. The paragraph is a "lipogram", which means it not have the letter "e" in it, and "e" is the widely used letter in the English language.

4. He is playing baseball and the masked man is the back catcher.

5. Fill the 5 gallon jug with milk. Fill the 3 gallon jug from the 5. You are now left with 2 gallons of milk in the 5. Empty the 3 gallon jug. Now, pour the 2 gallons you have in the five gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug there is now one gallon left to be filled in the 3 gallon jug. Now, refill the 5 gallon jug. Pour the 5 gallon jug until the 3 gallon jug is now topped off (will take 1 gallon). You now have 4 gallons of milk left in the 5 gallon jug for your customer.

6. Three. The doorman lets in those who answer with the number of letters in the word the doorman says.

7. In Minnesota. The team was originally known as the Minneapolis Lakers and kept the name when they moved west.

8. Because they were all married and not single.

9. The contents or the ten envelopes (in dollar bills) should be as follows: $1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,128, 256, 489. The first nine numbers are in geometrical progression, and their sum, deducted from 1,000, gives the contents of the tenth envelope.

10. The wise son bought a candle and a box of matches. After lighting the candle, the light filled the entire room.
