The attachment is the solution (i think?) for #2. As soon as I find more time I'll take a pic of #1 and post that too...The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. -- F. Scott FitzgeraldComment

Spiral, if you knew it already you could have waited for others to try to solve the problem first and then display your superb mathematical skills. By the way did anyone attempt the first 2 problems? They are not directly dealing with mathematics, but rather with logic.
================
ckBejug jan, here is another one, it's called:
Who will marry the Princess?
A wizard left each of his three sons a gift before he died. The oldest received a mirror, through which he could see anyone in the world. The second, a horse which could ride to any place in the world in one day. The third, a magic apple which would never rot, and when eaten would cure any disease.
One day the brothers heard about a princess in a faraway land who was dying of an unknown disease. Rumour had it the king would let the man who saved his daughter marry her. The brothers sprung into action. The first looked in his mirror and saw the ill princess and the land she lived in. All three jumped on the second brother's horse, and they rode so fast they got to the princess' land the next morning. Then the third son took his apple to the princess, who ate it and recovered full health instantly.
The king was grateful, and indeed intended to let one of them marry the princess. But it had taken the cooperation of all three brothers to save her. Which one did the king decide should marry his daughter?
==============
Remember, no cheating! I don't know the answer yet, so I am going to try to solve it as well, please don't spoil it for others if you know the solution.Comment

Seap, thank you. Actually these were given to me by a very intriguing person, so intriguing that the presence is quite contageous. I am very interested in your solutions, but let's give it a few more days and see if perhaps others can figure them out as well. Have you come up with a solution for the last riddle?

Because he was tired of his daughters worship of the flower and decided to releive his ears from the burden.
Seap, I can't get the first 1 one for the life of me. It's impossible to connect them without some kind of intersection. Just give me a hint, can it be done or not?Comment
