The Isis Adventure

You walk into a butcher store and the man behind the counter greets you,
"Hello. What can I get for you today?"
You survey the counter and notice the man's about 6'2" with brown hair and brown eyes.

WHAT DOES HE WEIGH?

Meat!

you're no fun kk, now your turn.

A man worked at a high security institution. The man tried to log into his computer and the computer denied the password. He then remembered that the passwords to the computers were reset every month for security reasons. He called his boss for his new password. 

The man said, "Boss, my old password is out of date." 

The boss said, "Yes, it is. The new password is different, but if you listen closely you will be able to figure out the new one. Your new password has the same amount of letters as the old one, and four of the letters are the same." 

The man then logged into his computer with no trouble. What was the new password? What was his old?

{sigh} word jumble problems... you'd prolly be really good at the great hunt.

they infuriate me. i can barely read, let alone read in jumble form.

hehe

The Great Hunt - me and the Mrs had great fun with that book - solved all the questions after about a month after the book release - been stuck ever since on the chapter sequences - one guy solved Chapter One and won a Silver Eagle ($20,000 worth) - still have 11 chapters to solve and then the big one - Golden Eagle . Would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys puzzles, cyphers etc. - all for a good cause as well, Cancer Research.

I may be completely off track...

old password: "outofdate"
new password: "different"

Works as they both have the same number of letters and share four of the same?

hannah is too smart to play. i got half of that. she makes me feels bad...

Hannah's turn.....

I know Roger (the guy that won the Silver Eagle) and he's been telling me about the hunt and meeting Don Shaw.

Pity I don't have time to do treasure hunts - too busy with other projects, or I'd be well into the Golden Eagle Hunt by now.

Why am I in the Isis Adventure I hear you ask - well I just love the puzzles and their engineering - I can spare a few hours here and there to fiddle with and eventually solve them now and again.

Frank and his son, Peter and his son all together went fishing to the lake.
Frank caught the same amount of fish as his son. Peter caught three times more fish as his son. Together they caught 35 fish.
Frank's son is named George. What is the name of Peter's son?

This is a bus moving forward on a road:

In which direction is it moving? Explain why!

It's moving right. No door on the visible side of the bus so the door is on the other side and therefore must be traveling right. That's for the UK. If you're in the US, then the answer is left for the same reasons.

one thumb up, the other is still fishin'

Scenario 1: Frank and Peter are in a civil partnership and George is their adopted son.
Scenario 2: Peter is Frank's father i.e George's grandfather.

Either way there are only three people and George caught 7, Frank caught 7 and Peter caught 21
