More Zestriddle. Stuck on twelve, now.

( Not for those who actually want to solve it on their own. Unsolicited hints (not to mention answers) will be persecuted. )

Current Mood: thoughtful

These riddles are all taken verbatim from Raymond Smullyan's The Riddle of Scheherazade and Other Amazing Puzzles, Ancient & Modern, published in 1997. I'm only posting up the riddles I already figured out the answer to, since I want to solve these by myself. If anyone else wants to take a guess at the answers, comments are screened, so have a go. Incorrect answers will be unscreened, while correct ones will not.

Most of them are math. Be warned.

( And without further ado... )

Current Mood: cold

EDIT: GOT IT AND IT WAS RIDICULOUS. I have no idea how anyone was supposed to figure that one out. The subsequent ones were much easier in comparison.

Up to 8 now, not stuck, just taking a brief break.

~~Still stuck on Level 5 of Zestriddle.~~
