Adam and Eve must be American, they can't have any naughty bits uncovered. They should be stark naked if she's still handing him the apple to try.

Here is an interesting question. Without searching the internet, can anyone guess how many times"X" appears on the clock face(s) of the  Big Ben clock?  (Big Ben is actually the name of the bell.)

The answer to Tuesday's puzzle -   Hit the road Jack

 

 

 

What is the next letter in this sequence?
 

1. f
2. e
3. i
4. r
5. ?

[facthunter]

z, Nev.

[onetrack]

H. The letter relates to the number, in words. The letter equates to its position in the word for the number. Very cunning. 

[red750]

Correct OT.  

 

f is the first letter in FIRST,

e is the second letter in SECOND,

i is the third letter in THIRD,

r is the fourth letter in FOURTH, and

h is the fifth letter in FIFTH.

 

 

 

What are the next two numbers in this sequence?
201 720 182 019 202 020 212 0??

[red750]

Move the spaces so they become dates - 2017 2018 2019  2020 2021 20?? 

So the two numbers are 22.

 

What two letters replace the question marks?

 

TE times T equals MESSAGE
TO times IN equals POISON
E times ?? equals LEAVE
