congratulations to Tigarius who got the answer correct to the first puzzle...
Q : "a guy walks down a road and comes to a fork in the road, the road splits too ways and he cannot see anything different in the paths they lead, there is a parrot in the road who tells him that one road will lead him to great fortune, the other will lead him to death, he must take one and he cannot return if he chooses the wrong path, he says... to help you i shall give you a clue... i say the correct path is the left one but i may be lying, to help you decide which one is the correct path you may ask me one question only and i shall answer you, from this you must tell which path i must take, the man asks his question and the parrot answers NO."
A : all he needs to do is ask the parrot "are you a parrot", because we know the parrot says no we know hes definatly lying so his advice saying that the left path was the right one would also be false meaning the only correct path to take would be path B (on the right).

congratulations to Z00ey who got the answer correct to the seventh puzzle...
Q : when exploring the amazon jungle, professor fossil was seized by hostile natives who told him he could make one final statement which would determine how he would die, if the statment he made was fale he would be boiled in water, if it was true he would be fried in oil, since fossil found neither option too attractive, so made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation, what is the one statement he could have made?
A : the statment fossil would make is... "you will boil me in water", the natives are faced with a dialemma, if they boil him in water that would make his statment true so they should have fried him in oil, and if it was false they would need to have boiled him in water rather then frying him in oil
