Well then the men weren't very smart or they would have checked to make sure the tattoo (or whatever it was) was actually real. Unless the scene was set a ways in the past and they didn't think about things like that.

They didn't kill someone but someone had to be harmed in order to cut their arm off or have someone surgically remove it.

And now-a-days it's illegal to send body parts thru the mail.

So many theories, so little time. :lol:

Yes. A fake tattoo, or a fake birth mark. I think it makes no difference for the riddle.

Yes you're right. I have to admit, that's a vague point in this riddle. :oops:

Yes. The arm was surgically removed

So......is this case closed? And if it's closed, who actually won? Or is there more? :shock:

Btw, Romeo has left the building for a couple of hours. :(

So Monica, did you win?

EDIT: Ok, Romeo....you can't do any more riddles; :lol: yours are too hard. :arrow: :?: :P :lol:

Monica, if you don't say anything within the next 20 minutes (it's 1:37 CST here), I'm going to post the next riddle; because you will be disqualified due to lack of interest (or lack of something). :lol:

Double Edit: Time is up! :shock:

There are several chickens and rabbits in a cage (with no other types of animals). There are 72 heads and 200 feet inside the cage. How many chickens are there, and how many rabbits :?:

Could the next one actually be something that you have to figure out, rather than having stories?

Do tell your story Marinus, the suspense is gnawing at me.

All I can think of is a story we used to tell when we were younger about a man with a golden arm, it was a spooky story and told around the camp fire. And no matter how many times you told it you could always manage to scare somebody in the end.

So I am waiting in anticipation.

BTW: The topic here is yes/no question puzzle

Here's an easy one for ya'all

A woman tries to drop a man into the ocean -- by his own request -- but when she tries, he blows back in.

ask yes or no questions..........

Ok we know there is an arm in the box. But we are supposed to guess what happened. Right? And I have no idea what to ask, but I'll try.

1. How far away did A, B and C, live from each other?
2. Were they Surgeons?
3. Were they all 3 working for the same business/company?
4. Does their business have something to do with the box?
5. Was the box/hand/burial a personal revenge for one of them?

:D How's that for questions?

At this moment it's a bit late at night,(be patient :wink: ) but I promise: I'll answer all your questions! And I'll do more 8) :D :D :D :P :P :wink: Thank you so much :P :P :P :P :P :P :P
