|
|
56 Dear NEW MAN:
|
|
57
|
|
58 Your best bet is to join the McKane organization. It is an
|
|
59 organization dedicated to goodness, sanity, and the
|
|
60 preservation of cute fuzzy animals. Assuming, of course, that
|
|
61 the cute fuzzy animals are not gerbils or hamsters.
|
|
62
|
|
63 The McKane organization was founded by the much respected and
|
|
64 admired LeRoy McKane. Mr McKane is currently on business in
|
|
65 either Columbia, Bulgaria, or Afganistan, I'm not certain
|
|
66 which. When he returns I am certain he will be able to help
|
|
67 you in any way possible.
|
|
68
|
|

|
|
70 Monsieur d'Autun
|
|
71
|
|
72 P.S. - Do you have any special expertise in smuggling military
|
|
73 equipment or hard drugs? The McKane organization is always
|
|
74 looking for a few good men.
|
|
75
|
|
76 :************************************************************:
|
|
77 Monsieur d'Autun:
|
|
78
|
|
79 Obviously you haven't heard the latest. LeRoy's gotten away
|
|
80 from international drug smuggling and terrorism. Too much
|
|
81 competition from the Albanian Revolutionary Party.
|
|
82
|
|
83 It seems that LeRoy was so inspired by the religion debate at
|
|
84 the Inn that he decided to go into a whole new business. As I
|
|
85 understand it he has purchased a chain of monasteries that he
|
|
86 will have pray for you for a fee.
|
|
87
|
|
88 There are twelve monasteries, with 100 monks apiece, that will
|
|
89 pray for whatever you want. It cost $39.95 per monk, per day,
|
|
90 to get prayed for. You get a discount if you hire a full
|
|
91 monastery and bonus stamps if you hire all twelve.
|
|
92
|
|
93 So, as you see, the McKane organization is continuing its
|
|
94 effort to make the world a better place. This will, no doubt,
|
|
95 be the hottest thing since LeRoy brought us Primal Belch
|
|
96 Therapy.

|

135 To DAMIEN II: it is my understanding that Mikey changes the disks when
|
|
136 DA is getting full, and he doesn't expect to be around when it is
|
|
137 actually full. Rather than have DA fill up, leaving later users with
|
|
138 no room to write, he rotates it off. DA, now DB, is still available
|
|
139 for further input. It's just not the disk people go to first. (or sometimes

140 at all).

261 Boring. These puzzles are getting easier. If I understand right, your

262 coins puzzle specified that the false coins are light, so I will assume

263 that the scale I use can tell me the actual weight of the coins I weigh
|
|
264 instead of comparing them to something else. In that case:
|
|
265 Put one coin from stack 1 on the scale, followed by two from stack 2, etc.
|
|
266 until coins from all 10 stacks are on the scale. Now determine how many
|
|
267 tenths of a gram (ounce, whatever) that the coins are light. The number
|
|
268 of tenths lighter than normal (55 grams, oz, etc.) is the number of the

310 would have heard of their holding a pray-in on the steps of the state capitol

312 being any part of that movement nor, I'm sure would they want me as one of them.
|

313 This was the deep thought behind my decission to change my moniker here on our

330 Dear New Man:
|
|
331
|
|
332 There recently was a slanderous item on BWS by someone calling
|
|
333 himself "Another victum of LeRoy McKane". It's important that
|
|
334 you understand that this is just another example of the
|
|
335 heinous conspiracy to besmirch the respected name of McKane.
|
|
336
|
|
337 Primal Belch Therapy is a revolutionary technique, created by
|
|
338 Mr. McKane, to cure people of spiritual malaise. The person
|
|
339 writing the slanderous message was warned of the dangers of
|
|
340 undergoing Primal Belch Therapy while suffering from the
|
|
341 hiccups. Not only was he warned by his instructor but the
|
|
342 warning was clearly spelled out in the Primal Belch Starter
|
|
343 Kit Manual. He ignored the warning and paid the price.
|
|
344
|
|
345 I hope this spiteful person has not soured you on the many
|
|
346 good works of the McKane organization. To demonstrate our
|
|
347 good faith I am authorized to offer you a free pair of
|
|
348 ear muffs with your application to join.

358 3 hr 3 min to fill his (its?) jar. After all, it only had to reproduce

359 once to reach the point that the pair started from, which only took

378 QM: after withdrawing the fruit, you will have at least 1 apple and 1
|
|
379 orange. Placing these aside, pour into the apples&oranges box the contents
|
|
380 of the other 2 boxes. Now correctly place the reserved fruit into the

381 corespondingly labeled boxes... Aaron

|

383 Aaron, better go back and read the puzzle again. You get to draw
|
|
384 one and only one fruit. One box contains only apples, one box contains
|
|
385 only oranges, and the third box has a mixture. Or, where you making
|
|
386 a funny? When I'm trying to be serious, I seem to lose my sense
|
|
387 of humor (did I really need those last two words?).

390 QM: Draw one fruit from the Apples & Oranges Box. Label the box according to
|
|
391 what you draw out, placing the A&O label on tthe box you took the label from.
|
|
392 Now, switch the two labels (the A&O label and the fruit that WASN'T drawn from
|
|
393 t box.) Reason: All the boxes are mislabled, so the 'A&O' box CAN'T be A&O.

469 Milchar walks down the seemingly endless hallway, passing door after door in
|
|
470 search of the mystical door number 493. He passes another dozen doors, and
|
|
471 finally finds the object of his search. 'The race is on!', he thinks to him-
|
|
472 self as he turns a diamond key in the lock. He pushes open the massive door
|
|
473 and disappears inside, hidden by wisps of multi-colored fog just as the door
|
|
474 swings closed with a resounding boom. Not that any could hear it....
|
|
475 'I just wish that the inside of this tower was smaller or just as big as the
|
|
476 outside', thinks Milchar. 'This needing a bag of maps to find the kitchen is
|
|
477 a little much for me to bear.'
|
|
478 He sits on the floor of the room he occupyies, within a pentagram of silver
|
|
479 fire. Energy pours out of the 'gram, and seemingly fades into the fabric of
|
|
480 the multi-verse. 'I just love this new spell, "Monkey Wrench"'....

489 modem you told me about... 47th & Division..all units are closing in

490 on that area. With the aid of a phone trace (remember the technique we talked

491 about at the party?), we are getting really close now. By the way, I got a

492 call from a lawyer today, wanting to know everything I knew about you,

493 your phone number, address, social contacts, DECUS membership number, so on.
|

494 I told him it would cost him, and he said he would call back later... Can you

508 14. 'Sort by Astrological Sign'

510 16. 'Sort by Age of the Jelly Stains on the Paper'

511 17. 'Sort by the "Random Order" Method'
|

512 If any of these spells will work, then we'll sort them and then we can excange

513 a few. My books are bulky (some of them are not) but 3 x 5's are ridiculous.

523 It had only seemed like a moment, yet in the blink of an eye,
|
|
524 it had changed from light to dark. The menicing storm was no
|
|
525 longer apparent, leaving me drenched from its passing however.
|
|
526 I look back to the door behind me, it is closed. I could have
|
|
527 sworn that PAM had answered my knock, yet now she is not there.
|
|
528 A very odd situation. Not knowing what has happened, I decide
|
|
529 to simply try again. Grasping the post I pull myself up.
|
|
530 Shivering from my cold wet clothes, I stagger to the door.
|
|
531 Grasping the ornate knocker, I raise it and once again strike
|
|
532 it three times. Or is this only the first time? Has my mind
|
|
533 been playing tricks on me? I lean back against the wall beside
|
|
534 the door. I hope that I can gain shelter here. No answer comes
|
|
535 immediately. Slowly I slide down the wall to sit on the porch
|
|
536 again my weak legs still unable to hold me errect. I think
|
|
537 back, (how long ago was it?) in earlier more active times. That
|
|
538 old war general who never seemed to get started at anything,
|
|
539 and the young traveler I once met emerging from the woods. Why
|
|
540 these people should stick in my mind I don't know. Perhaps It
|
|
541 is because they were one of the few people I have met who were
|
|
542 willing to sit and talk with me. My mind wanders further, and I
|
|
543 am walking down a tree shrouded path towards a building. Up
|
|
544 ahead a stream bars my way but an old foot bridge provides safe
|
|
545 crossing. Why does this bring such familar memories? Up ahead
|
|
546 the building looms large. I aproach it and begin to open the
|
|
547 door. As it creaks open, I suddenly realize that the sound is
|
|
548 real, and turning my head I see that it is the door to the
|
|
549 house that is opening. What will it hold for me?
|
|
550 EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
|
|
551 I KNOW NOW THAT YOU FOLKS ARE CRAZY. EXCEPT THE APPLES AND THE ORANGES.
|
|
552 I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER YET BUT I SHALL
|
|
553 KEEP ON TRYING.

581 Who might you be...? I am /Z/ XENON /Z/, a friendf *COMPUTER RAT*
|
|
582 and have a similar proffesion, do I know you outside of the INN???
|
|
583 .......To:SEMI-NOVICE... I believe that the SANYO series or COLUMBIA
|
|
584 computers would be fitting for most anyone that doesn't plan to run a
|
|
585 ulti-million dollar business or a games computer... I have a Sanyo
|
|
586 MBC-555 computer with at least 200 programs... many of which are business
|
|
587 programs..(DBASE II, CYMA, et-cetera). I also do not work through a
|
|
588 sre
|
|
589
|
|
590 enter
|
|
591 store, so I have lower prices.(will be determined by my associates)
|
|
592 I have at least 6 years of computer programming expierience, so I am
|
|
593 qualified enough to know a good computer when I see one... for instance
|
|
594 The COLUMBIA can run over 99% of IBM Software, and Hardware. It is pretty
|
|
595 much the same computer, except the COLUMBIA has more expansion capability,
|
|
596 and is more inexpensive. I would have one except my budjet could only
|
|
597 afford a SANYO, which is about 70% software compatible (with one single
|
|
598 sided disk drive, and a double sided drive). There is a Sanyo users
|
|
599 meeting at Van's Drive-In Restaraunt on 154th and N.E. Sandy blvd.
|
|
600 The metting starts at 11am, Van's serves breakfast and has a nice
|
|
601 atmosphere...if you are interested, leave a message to XENON(on BWMS),
|
|
602 or Mark Vanalstyne on any other of the boards(PMS, PCS, WEST #1,T TIBBS,
|
|
603 or the Bit Bucket) to list a few of the most popular ones...(PUBLIC).
