[spoiler]drop it at the first floor and then go to the floors: 14, 27, 39, 50, 60, 69, 77, 84, 90, 95, 99, and 100. Whatever floor the first coconut breaks at for example if it breaks at 27, go to the number one above the floor before in this case 15 and then keep going up until the coconut breaks again.[/spoiler]

I would have guessed [spoiler]3000 for the apples puzzle. They're being taxed but they still get transported to Bananaville! But I guess there are tax stops on the way or something [/spoiler]

Victor, you are correct! To all else, I apologize for being inactive the past few days. I have been quite busy and I will probably only get busier in days to come. Anyways, while I'm here, I may as well post!
Riddle: A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a shotgun and points it at him. The man says, thank you and leaves. Why?

[Professor Layton]

NOTE: I will not be on as often to post here, so only expect the weekly puzzle from now on. I may have time to post riddles, however it will be unlikely. Anyways, on with the puzzle!

These four top hats are all the same height, but the length of each brim is different. In other words, the hats are equally tall but vary in width.

One of these four hats has a brim and height that are the same length. Which hat is it?

[spoiler]Hat C.

Hat B is clearly too short. Hat D is clearly too wide. Hat A and Hat C are almost the same, but I think A is just a tad too short.[/spoiler]

Whoops. Had to edit the spoiler tag in.

Okay, finally I'm back! So, both today also.
Riddle: 16, 06, 68, 88, ?, 98 What is the '?'?
Puzzle: Ten candles stand burning in a dining room. A strong breeze blows in through an open window and extinguishes two of them. Checking back in on the candles later, you see that one more candle has gone out. To make sure no more flames go out, you shut the window. Assuming the wind doesn't extinguish any more candles, how many candles do you have left in the end?

Okay, see how you go guys!

[Victor Wolfe]

[spoiler]the answer to the riddle is L8 you get it by flipping 87 upside down

The answer to the puzzle is 3 as all the other candles will melt , leaving you with the three candles that where extinguished by the wind.[/spoiler]

[Makoto Yuki]

The puzzle: [spoiler]Three? All the other candles burned out.[/spoiler]

[Professor Layton]

Victor and Makoto, you are both correct!

[spoiler]78, or L8 if you want to be really technical about it.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Ten - they're all still there, three of them are just not burning. :p[/spoiler]

[spoiler]If I remember correctly, it's A.[/spoiler]

[Professor Layton]

[spoiler]If I remember correctly, it's A.[/spoiler]

Which puzzle are you addressing?

[Ganondorf]

The one you said no one tried.

[Makoto Yuki]

The hat puzzle:[spoiler]Is it A?[/spoiler]

[Professor Layton]

The one you said no one tried.

There is no A, B, C etc answer for that one, it is the riddle of the gun + thankyou.
Makoto, you are correct.

This is what popped up when I clicked the link you gave me:

As for the Gun Riddle, I actually had to look it up. To be honest, that was a REALLY tough one. Like I'd assume 99% of intelligent people used to riddles would be unable to guess it.

Question: Five pirates are parting ways after finding a treasure of 100 pieces of gold. The pirates decide to split it based on a vote. Each pirate, from oldest to youngest, gets to propose a plan on how to split the gold.

If at least 50 percent of the other remaining pirates agree on the plan, that is how they will split the gold. If less than 50 percent of the pirates agree, the pirate who came up with the plan will be thrown overboard. Each pirate is smart, greedy, and wants to throw as many others overboard as possible without reducing the amount of gold they get.

What plan can the first (oldest) pirate propose to live and get as much gold as possible?

Hello! I am indeed still alive, so, on with the puzzles!
Riddle:
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211

What number comes next?
Puzzle:
The floor below is made up of 24 tiles. It's specially designed so that the tiles will fall away one at a time until they're all gone.


Once the first tile falls, neighbouring tiles (not diagonally) will fall away one by one in the following order of suits: hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs. The first tile set to fall, however, is not necessarily a heart. If you can find the last tile set to fall, you can stop this floor from disappearing! Which is the final tile?

Anyways, good luck!
