The Khajiit is telling the truth, and the Orc is the murderer.

Edit: Ah, it seems LionOfRome beat me to it. ;)

If the Orc is telling the truth and the others are lying, the Altmer did it.

I was going to opt for "Romeo", but "Romey" it is! :P
Now we need Contrast to assess our answers...

LoR is correct. :)

But then the Khajiit would also be telling the truth.

Yeah, I replied the first time without noticing that the answers had gone over to the next page, so that created a bit of confusion, lol. :D
The Orc did do it. It's LoR's turn.

Oops lol. Ok uhm let me think...

I am smaller than the smallest grain of sand, yet as large as the tallest mountain. If you split me, you will be sorry if you worship me, you are a mutant.

Enjoy!

Yep hehe. Thought mutant might be too much.

Contrast did you delete your post?

Wait, I was right? o.O

Thank you. :)

Here is another something for your neocortex to conquer!
You and two others enter an elevator, on the ground floor.
On the first floor, two more people get in.
On the second floor, four people get out.
On the third floor, one person gets out.
On the fourth floor, three people get in.

Assume there are no stairs and no other elevators.
Where can I be certain I will not find you?

Well if there are no other stairs or elevators any floor from the 1st till 4th then you will most certainly not find him on the ground floor, since he is occupying the elevator. I think...

Re: Puzzles & Riddles !

That is correct, but only one part of the answer. :)

Perhaps I ought to rephrase the question: On which floors will I certainly not find you? (Because it is logically impossible for you to be there.)

Hint 1/3: Pay careful attention to the numbers of people getting in and out.

IMPORTANT EDIT:

I edited the puzzle, because I noticed a logical fallacy in it. :P My apologies! It has been corrected!

Ground, first and fourth floors.

Ground floor: +3
1st floor: +3=6
2nd floor: -4=2
3rd floor: -1=1
4th floor +3=4

If he is the last person on the elevator then you would not find him on any floor.

I owe you an apology, Romey. :lol: Unfortunately, my first draft of the puzzle had a logical error in it (I made six people enter the elevator on the ground and first floors, when I should have made it five), and edited it only after your first answer. I apologize.

Leeward is the riddler, but it would seem no riddles are forthcoming... :P

Hence, here is one of my own:
You are a spy, and are attempting to open a locked door. The door is opened by entering a four-digit code into the keypad on the side.

Examining the buttons carefully, you see that the 1, 5 and 8 buttons are worn, indicating that they have been pressed regularly.

Your advisor tells you that they have cracked part of the code, and can give you the following clues:

The last digit is a factor* of 16.
Either 8 or 1 is entered twice (i.e as two digits)
No digit is next to another digit that is the same number.
The second-largest number of the three occupies the first digit.
The third digit is larger than both the second digit and the first digit.

You enter four digits, and the door opens.

What code did you use?

* A "factor" of a number is another number that can be multiplied to get the first number. For example, 3 is a factor of 6, because when 3 is multiplied by 2 it equals six.

There is no solution. Are you sure you didn't make a typo again? :P

Edit: never mind, I misread.
