So now { what } should I do,
I'm strung out, { addicted } to you My mom got this cool book with a bunch of brain teasers in it, and I thought it would be fun if I posted them up here to be solved.
(All brainteasers are come from the book "One-Minute Mysteries and Brain Teasers written by Sandy Silverthorne & John Warner)
---
Rules:
1. I will post up a brain teaser one at a time
2. Send me whatever you think the answer is in a PM, do not post it in the thread and spoil the fun!
3. The points system will be similar to the 'Guess Who' game.
4. I will slowly add up the clues included in the book to help people until I get a correct answer.
Scoring:
First person to tell me the correct answer gets two points, everyone after that gets one point. Once all the clues are posted I will change the brain teaser soon, so hurry up and get your answers in! After 8 brainteasers whomever has the highest score gets the current prize.
Prizes:
Prizes are based on whatever I happen to have at the time, they can be gold, items, art, a sign. Any of those.
---
Round 1 Prize:
1,ooo gold My body aches, now that you're { gone }
My { supply } fell through

Clues:
1. Elevation doesn't matter in this case
2. Outdoor temperature doesn't matter in this case.
3. What other factors affect cooking time?
4.

Past BrainteasersWhen Time Stands StillQuote: As a burglar reaches for something on the mantle, he accidentally knocks over a clock. It falls to the floor, breaks, and stops. The next morning, however, police aren't able to determine what time the robbery took place. Why not? 1. The police can see the clock. 2. The burgler did not alter the clock in any way after it fell. 3. The police didn't expect to be able to read the clock. 4. What kind of clock is it?
Answer: (Highlight to read!)The burglar knocked over a digital clock. When it broke and stopped, it no longer displayed the timeLunch TimeQuote: Robbie goes to a restaurant and orders a deli sandwich and a cola for lunch. Afterward, he pays the bill, tips his waitress, and goes outside. He slowly takes in his surroundings. The sky is black and the city streets are deserted. What happened?
Clues:
1. Nothing supernatural happened
2. The man was on his lunch break
3. It was like this before he went to lunch.
4. What time of day was it?
Answer: (Highlight to read!)The man worked the night shift and took his lunch break in the middle of the night.

Ooo, I LOVE brainteasers! O:
This should be fun. [:
I just hope that no one cheats and looks up the answers on Google or something. D:
Google's okay for Guess Who 'cause there's no answer key or anything, but the answer to these brainteasers are bound to be somewhere on the internet.
Anyways, I don't really know the answer to this first one yet. xD
I'll think about it and PM you if I figure anything out.

It makes complete sense! O:

Well the thing is you have to be thinking about it right.
Your perception of the scene alters what you think it plausible.
It's tricky.
I dunno if I'd be able to handle a hard brain teaser, though. xD
Clue 2 would've been slightly helpful to me.
A couple of my theories involved the criminal doing something with it.

I think you should probably wait before giving the last clue.
You're going awfully fast, and I dunno if anyone else even knows this exists yet. ninja
