Results From Round 8

Ah the Puzzler is smiling again 🙂 WOW 41 responses and a number of these multiples, oh and even one from Miss H’s mum, (remember you are encouraged to involve your parents just like Mis H did). Now to the answers……..

I loved Mitch S’s very elegant suggestion for the riddle though it unfortunately wasn’t quite correct. Actually no-one got the answer totally correct but two students got close and the first one to comment was

Cassie

who suggested that it was paper, (the actual answer was a tissue)

As to the pic well there were lots of great suggestions but the winner this week was

Kelly

who made the suggestion that

was an elephant that had fallen in the dolphin pool at Sea World,
what do you think?

Riddle Me 8

Okay so here goes again have a think about what this might be.

I can be thrown from the highest height and never, ever break but throw me in a lake or the sea and I go to pieces, what am I?

OK here’s a further clue to help, (or confuse)

I float in the air but not in the sea

Round Seven Results

Aha, the Puzzler wins one for once. Nobody was able to come up with the answer to the Round seven riddle, hmmm. Ah well, that might suggest we should leave the riddle open for another week. In fact that is what we will do.

As to the pic well there were a couple of really nice suggestions made however there can be only one winner and this time it is

Mary

who suggested that the picture below is
a tadpole swimming away from a mirror

Riddle Me 7

Well given that I have been gently chided for making things too easy in the last two puzzles let’s see if this one makes you think a little harder.

I can be thrown from the highest height and never, ever break but put throw me in a lake or the sea and I go to pieces, what am I?

Results From Round 6

Maybe it’s because most of us are just getting into our personal Passion Project blogs and didn’t quite get the time to put in a bid for this round but once again the puzzler was a little disappointed with the number of entries though once again the quality was very high. Hopefully this week we will see lots more Senior A, B and H students in there giving us their take on the pics. Enough of that though as I know you want to know who won???

In the Riddle Me, once again the winner knew the straight away that the letters
T, T, T, F, F, S, S, __ , __ .
Stood for the numbers Ten, Twenty, Thirty, Fourty, Fifty, Sixty and Seventy
so that the next two letters in the sequence are
E for Eighty and N for Ninety
so congratulations to
Leo

As to the pic well we liked
Ebony’s
very interesting thought that the pic was
a caterpillar that has been pulled apart by a high school student in science
