Ark's Perplexing Puzzles

[Steve]

If you look at just two buckets, both are uneven, so you simply pour water from the one that contains more, into the one that contains less. Thus, the sequence remains intact.

The locks were locks of hair; it cause James pain because it reminded him or something or someone and that made him sad for some reason or another; there was no lid (self explanatory), but the two lids that opened wide where his eye lids.

The box is a bocks!

As curly haired James was sleeping in bed,
His brother John gave him a blow on the head.
James opened his eyelids, and spying his brother,
Doubled his fists, and gave him another.
This kind of a box then is not so rare
The lids are the eyelids, the locks are the hair.

Puzzle 033- Ant and Cleo- 10PP

Anthony and Cleopatra are lying dead on the floor of a villa in Egypt. Nearby is a broken bowl. There is no mark on either of their bodies and they were not poisoned. How did they die?

*BE CAREFUL* Things are not always as they seem. Take the time to thoroughly examine the puzzle.

 

[Jedizora]

The bowl fell of a table and they both had heart attacks because of the suddent noise.

 

[Baysiderulez]

^ interesting answer....

I'm going to try my hand at this.

Earthquake.

 

[Flagpole]

Uhh, Baysiderulez, an earthquake would have probably killed the entire villa, not only two people. Also, not only a bowl would have been broken, but the whole villa, seeing there are almost no possibilities it could have stand the earthquake. A heart attack is the most probable, though.
Nice way of thinking you have, Jedizora.

 

[athenian200]

Anthony and Cleopatra are lying dead on the floor of a villa in Egypt. Nearby is a broken bowl. There is no mark on either of their bodies and they were not poisoned. How did they die?

Perhaps they starved to death? I mean, if they normally ate out of the bowl, it broke, they didn't have access to another one, and were too proud to eat without using a dish due to their status... it's plausible.

Either that, or their only food was in the bowl, and it broke on the floor, ruining the food so that they starved to death.

 

[Rytex]

There was water in the bowl. It smashed, got absorbed in the sand, and they died of no water.

WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot. I've heard something similar to this. Antony and Cleopatra are goldfish. A dog knocked over their bowl. They... suffocated?
