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
69
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.

111 Leroy McKane should be shot on sight! Because of him I lost
112 my wife, my kids, and my friends, even my enemies! I have
113 spent the last 2 months with PBA (Primal Belch Anonimous)
114 trying to regain a semblance of my former self back. You
115 don't know what it is like to go cold turkey off of Primal
116 Belch. It is hideous! They have these electric probes, and
117 everytime you start to belch they..... Oh... I can't tell
118 you what they do with them, but it is VERY painfull! If I
119 ever see that Leroy McKane again, he will not live to see
120 another morning!

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
269 pile of false coins.

308 TO HOAXER: You better check your facts, There definately is a group by that
309 name (Christian Youth Ministries) if you listened to PBS news last night you
310 would have heard of their holding a pray-in on the steps of the state capitol
311 and in Terry Shrunk park right here in Portland. I do not wish to be accused of
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
314 beloved Backwater. Besides my anti-christ stand seemedto demand a more appropiat
315 name. What better than DAMIEN II (the anti-christ). Thank you, however, for the

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.
349
350 I am looking forward to hearing from you.

356 Kudos to Aaron and Milchar, although Aaron (or is it aaron?) seemed
357 doubtful about his answer. Yes, the single amoeba takes (took?)
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
360 an extra 3 minutes.
361 ??????
362 No takers on the other number sequence? Go back and take another look;
363 I gave 1 1/2 hints in its intro.
364 ?????
365 A new one (sorry if people think these are too easy, the more difficult
366 ones in my source are more visual therefore difficult to reproduce here).
367 Three boxes are labeled "Apples", "Oranges", and "Apples and Oranges".
368 Each label is incorrect. You may select only one fruit from one box.
369 No feeling around or peeking is permitted! How can you label each box
370 correctly?
371 until next time,??

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
382 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
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?).
388 ???????????????????????????? QUIZMASTER ????????????????????????????
389 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
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"'....
