[Poppy]

Congrats Sunskriti! Looking forward to hearing your puzzle!

[Darrell71]

Thanks! Ok, new Puzzle:

There is a shallow yet extremely fast flowing river. This time, Anne has been Kidnapped, along with Tim and she has hastily scribbled a note that says Bicconsfield Mansion. George, Julian, and Dick need to go and rescue her. Bicconsfield Mansion is on the other side of the river. They have no bridge to get across. No pocket knifes, nothing. But they have a STRONG and long creeper, and a lot of stout logs. Tall and strong trees line the bank on both sides. How do they get across as fast as possible?

( I have 2 solutions for this one I'll tell you them later! Remember, the river is shallow! )

[Poppy]

Wow! That is a GOOD one Sunskriti- you could write a story about that!
By the way- how come it's only me and you posting on this thread too? How come everyone's deserting us??

How about they lasso the creeper so it hooks to a tree branch on the other side and then tie the other end of the creeper to a tree. Then hang on so they are upside down and push their way across to the other side?

Two of them hold a creeper while the other ties it round there waist and sets off across the river. When he or she reach the other side they tie it to tree and the others come across holding on to it.

That's a good one Loony!

[Darrell71]

Both the above solutions was nice. Good thinking. Now, a little clue as to one of mine: think about this:

Tall and strong trees line the bank on both sides.

1 of my solutions is related to that see if you can get it! Till Wednesday I'll announce the winner!

[Poppy]

Do the opposite trees meet over head?

Because if they did they could clambour across to the other side...

[Darrell71]

Exactly what I had in mind!!! Good job Poppy, this could be on a winner or Loony's...

[Poppy]

Oh- great!

[Darrell71]

It's Tuesday, tomorrow I announce the winner!

[Poppy]

Anyone got another solution before Sunskriti announces the winner?

[Darrell71]

OK, guys, I mightn't be able to log on later today, so here goes:

Second Place:

Two of them hold a creeper while the other ties it round there waist and sets off across the river. When he or she reach the other side they tie it to tree and the others come across holding on to it.

1st Place:

POPPY HUTCHINSON!

How about they lasso the creeper so it hooks to a tree branch on the other side and then tie the other end of the creeper to a tree. Then hang on so they are upside down and push their way across to the other side?

This was a nice one Poppy, over to you!

I had to choose between Loony and Poppy, but Loony's suggestion might not work if you are swept aside and unable to clamber up to the other bank.

So, OVER TO POPPY!

[Poppy]

Oh! Thanks Sunskriti! Well done Loony and here's the next one:

Dick has been thrown into a cupboard in the middle of exploring a large castle. Two burly men had found him and locked him in to a large, empty wooden cupboard. It is quite big but the wood it is thick but quite strong. It is pitch black except for a tiny bit of light piercing through the key hole and through the crack at the bottom of the door. The others are still adventuring but Dick is gagged and has his hands tied but he still has the use of thembt cannot reach to untie the gag. He cannot bang on the wood because it is so thick it will make no noise. Dick only has the contents of his pockets (notebook, pencil, chocolate bars and a torch). How can he get out maybe with the others help?

There you go! A week as now I'll announce the winner! Goodluck!
