Ok I can't remember that other one. I totally stole this one:

A cabin, locked from the inside, is perched on the side of a mountain. It is forced open, and thirty people are found dead inside. They had plenty of food and water.

For I'm not used to some English words I think I may ask some questions about the meaning of words without Y/N questions.

Cabin is a sort of small house or such if I'm right.

But I searched for perch(ed) and I found it is something like rusty/ironoxide. So I don't quite understand the sentence. :?

But I have already a question which I asked before in another riddle:

Are the environmental circumstances normal/optimal for a human? Such as temperature, humidity, airpressure, oxygen content.

1 - Yes that is one version of the definition of cabin. But there are other definitions. If I say much more it will totally give this riddle away, hmm I think I just did :?

2 - Perched means sitting or set upon.

3 - Yes

Oh, I can't think of any, I got the last one off the internet and that's how I found the answers to all the others except (shhhh...you know who's)

So if anyone else wants to give it a go, have at it. I've been busy here lately. Got time on my hands so trying to stay off the PC been working on a quilt.

Well I bet Lutz has won the trophy again. Sort of; I should think more about a dentist.

But just in case:
1. The man in the mask instead of "with". Does that make difference? Has the word "in" a special meaning?
2. Is the mask for the face?
3. Is it's function:
a. To hide something? (Like a thief)
b. To protect against being hit? (Like a base ball player)
c. To protect against bad things to breathe in? (Dust, gas, etc.)
d. To protect against bad things to breath out? (Surgeon, dentist, etc.)
e. For fun? (Like Haloween. Also a bit like question 3a)
f. Other?

:roll: 8) :D

3 a-f not to hide but yes to protect

I mentioned a dentist, but did not ask the question:
1 Was it a dentist?
2 Or someone like that?

And about the sort of mask you said it was for protection, but there are still my questions 3 b,c,d and f: :?

b. To protect against being hit? (Like a base ball player)
c. To protect against bad things to breathe in? (Dust, gas, etc.)
d. To protect against bad things to breath out? (Surgeon, dentist, etc.)
f. Other kind of protection?

1 - No
2 - What do you mean by someone like that? A doctor or dental hygienist or nurse or someone in the medical field? If that's your question then No

b Yes it is to protect against being hit
c No it is not to protect against air borne stuff
d No it is not to protect against air borne stuff
f I don't know what this means. Yes it is for protection, of the many types of protection I guess you'd have to list them for me to give a correct answer. Or do you just want me to tell you the type of mask so you can figure out the rest? Cuz I could do that :D

Thanks :D :D

Yes that was what I meant. Actually I meant if it is b,c or d the rest was not relevant, but to make my question as clear as possible I used this way. In this case it was b so the other sub questions didn't matter.

Just like the next questions. If the answer on question b is yes, the other questions are not relevant anymore.


Does protection of being hit have to do with:

a. sport, hit by a ball or other thing? (such as baseball)
b. also sport but being hit by a person? some kind of fightsport?
c. such as racingsport? A helmet to protect against falling or hitting with the head against something else?
d. profession, also a helmet against falling stones or tools?
e. also profession, Someone who works with sawing or drilling in some material like steel, wood, stone or whatever. To be protected against getting pieces of that material in the face or eyes.
f. Other? If it's not one of a to e is maybe one of them closer then the other 4? If so, then which one

1. Is it some sort of sport?

Whoops when I typed that I figured it out but I'll let the rest keep on guessing. I was listening to the news when the xxxxxx announcer came on and it hit me. lol
