While exploring the wild highlands of Scotland, Crazy Rob was captured by hostile wood fairies.
Smazze, the powerful chief of the fairies told him he could make one final statement which would determine how he would die.
If the statement he made was false, he would be boiled in water.
If the statement were true, he would be fried in oil.
Crazy Rob found neither of this options too his liking, so he made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation.
What is the one statement he could make to save himself?

Answer:
Crazy Bob said: "You will boil me in water." The
fairies were faced with a dilemma. If they boil him
in water, that would make his statement true, which
means he should have been fried in oil. They can
only fry him in oil if he makes a true statement,
but if they do, it would make his final statement
false. The fairies had no way our of their situation
so they were forced to set Crazy Bob free.

The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?

"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honour got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby , walking towards that group, saw a youg girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "


Answer: The letter"e".
