Answers!…
1/ The answer is the German who lives in the Green House, smoking Prince cigars, drinking coffee, and who keeps FISH. The others are as follows:
1st House: Yellow, Norwegian, Water, Cats, Dunhill
2nd House: Blue, Dane, Tea, Horse, Blends
3rd House: Red, Brit, Milk, Birds, Pall Malls
4th House: Green, German, Coffee, FISH, Prince
5th House: White, Swede, Beer, Dogs, Bluemasters
2/They are 2 of a set of triplets.
3/I am looking at a photograph of my son
4/He was walking
5/Because as he is “living” in London he isn’t dead
6/You have 2, the ones you took away.
7/You can only run half way into the woods otherwise you’ll be running out of the woods
8/It is a grandfather, his son and his grandson
9/You got the number 18 because it doesn’t matter what number you start with at the beginning, this problem is more of an illusion as the “unknown” number has been calculated mathematically to reach 18.
11/He had hiccups
12/The poison was in the ice cubes and in the king’s case didn’t have time to melt fully into the drink
13/A candle and matches and the light filled the entire room
14/The woman was a photographer and she did a shot of her husband, developed it and hung it up to dry
15/The plan was to use the earth from tunnelling to climb up onto and out of the unbarred window
16/It was a submarine
17/None, it was Noah who took the animals on the Ark
18/The parrot was deaf
19/They could be 51 and 15, 42 and 24, or 60 and 06
20/Lounger
21/The letter e
22/ the word is “NOWHERE”. When a space is placed between the ‘w’ and ‘h’, you get the words “NOW HERE”
23/ The common word is Startling – starting – staring – string – sting – sing – sin – in – I
24/Second because you overtook the person in 2nd place
25/Bet you thought it was 5000 didn’t you? Wrong. The answer is 4100; check it out on a calculator.
26/There are 6 F’s, most people forget to include the f in of
27/The answer is 70 not 25. If you divide 30 by a half you get 60 you aren’t dividing it by 2.
28/They would last an hour because you take one straight away
29/There are 9 left as all but 9 have died
30/The word is incorrectly because it is always pronounced incorrectly
31/ The snail reaches the top of the pit on the 16th day!.On the first day, the snail reaches a height of 5 meters and slides down 4 meters at night, and thus ends at a height of 1 meter. On the second day, he reaches 6 meters, but slides back to 2 meters. On the third day, he reaches 7 meters, but slides back to 3 meters. On the fifteenth day, he reaches 19 meters, but slides back to 15 meters.
On the sixteenth day, he reaches 20 meters, so now he is at the top of the pit!
32/They are standing back to back
33/The answer is simple, Nothing
34/None, the boat rises with the tide
35/You can’t dig half a hole, a hole is a hole no matter how small it is
36/Temperature
37/A bed
38/It is the word longest
39/It would still take 10 minutes to boil a dozen eggs although if you want to be pedantic about it, maybe a couple more because the water would take slightly longer to reach boiling point
40/A strawberry has its seeds on the outside
41/Earth of course
42/The word is “short” add e and r to it and you have shorter
43/Of course they do, they have 4th of July in every country
44/A conversation
45/Just take off the letter s
46/A secret
47/Silence
48/Simple really. Turn one switch on for a couple of minutes then switch it off and turn another one on. Go into the room with the bulbs and you will be able to identify the one that is on, the one that was on because the bulb will still be warm and the one that is left.
49/Just throw the ball straight up into the air
50 /This one is misleading to start with as there is no missing pound. The actual amount paid out is £27, minus the £2 for the hotel assistant makes £25. It’s only because the numbers are so close to £30 that it is confusing.

How many laps of the gym is one mile again?
How’s that modesty working out for you Kyle?
Ruairi, it’s 8 laps – if we take a male to be roughly equal to 1600m. I’ll be down at the gym from 5ish anyway tonight if you want to pop down early.
Geez Colm, I’m not 1600m, are you?
Well, I don’t like to brag…
I’m sure Freud would probably have something to say about that typo.
Hi Kyle
You can explain this to me tomorrow

Okay, due to a mess up with the printing company and me misreading emails all the Medium Hoodies are black and the S,L, and XL are gray.
If you ordered a M and don’t want the black ones I’ll do another print run with gray. Or conversely if you see a black hoodie but aren’t a medium I’ll order blacks in the other sizes.
But in good news, the new hoodies are here!
So have I told you guys what I’m thinking of calling my affiliate, should I have one in the US? It will start in my garage but garage gym is already taken so I was thinking of Crossfit Car Hole. Post thoughts to comments.
It does offer potential for t-shirt slogans.
“Work-out at the Car Hole and forget about stuffing your Pie Hole”.
CrossFit Car Hole?
I’d wear that shirt
Incidentally, I did 1.5 miles for this because that was an old benchmark of mine.
At the 1 mile mark I was at 6.20. 1.5 miles took me 9.32.
Then the back squats (afterwards, a good idea). Got up to 125kg which I’m happy with as I’m creeping back to my old PB.
Ruairi: 105-110-115-120-125; 6:20 (9:32 – 1.5miles)
The Kyle (back squat 3×5): 100-130(3)-110
Shane 1.0:80-90-95(f)-95; 8:13
Robert: 30-35-40(x5): 8:11
Sue: 20-25-27.5(x3); 8:08
Pixie: 70-80-90-95-97.5; 8:42
Amy: 17-19.7-22 (x3); 8:43
Phil: 90-90-90 (all just 1″ high); 6:59
