Tricky Puzzles
A proper wording would be "there are three matches, turn them into six", because a roman numeral VI doesn't mean there are six MATCHES which is what your (probably faulty) wording implies.
Nonetheless, I still hold that most likely the solution is to arrange them in the roman numeral VI.

Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.

This one is very hard, so if you figure it out, major kudos to you. (I figured it out only after a long time btw)
If no one manages to figure it out in a few days, I'll just post the answer and we'll move on to the next one, OK?
You have five toggling buttons (no relation to Wonderland!) arranged in a row like this:
12345
Each time you toggle one of them to "on" the next two buttons will also toggle themselves to the other state. If you toggle button 2, it also toggles buttons 3 and 4.
If you toggle (for instance) button 4, it "wraps around", and toggles buttons 5 and 1.
One additional problem is that you can only toggle buttons that are currently off. If a button is on, you cannot directly toggle it, and must manipulate other buttons to toggle it back off.
At the beginning, all five buttons are off. Under these rules, find a sequence that toggles ALL of them on.
Additional mad props to you if you can figure out a way to do it in just five presses.

It is. It has many names really. A glitch so bizarre, it needs to have more than just one name!

It's not that hard to unscramble the words themselves, but somehow I can't understand what do you mean by a "Tom Swifty" sentence. Maybe it's because I woke up five minutes ago.Sammy_Bro wrote:I got a hard one.
TOM SWIFTY
Unscramble the letters in each word below, then unscramble the order of words to create a Tom Swifty sentence. (Tom always speaks adverbially.)

(You can get hints. )
I SAID: TOM DELIGHTEDLY BLEW OUT ALL THE CANDLES
Is this word order OK?
