During the winter of 1959, a young man returned home from work, and presented his new bride with a box -shaped like a part of the human body. He also gave her a newly published book entitled Flowers for Algernon, and humbly apologized to her, stating, "The one store was open, but the other store was not, so this is as close as I could get for your gifts." As he looked into the eyes of his beautiful bride, he spoke these strange, mystical words: "With Abe looking forward, and George looking back, I ask you, on this special day; will you -- -- ---------?" To solve this brainteaser, you must: #1- identify the contents of the box (shaped like a part of the human body) which he gave to his wife; #2- identify the "special day" referred to by the husband, and #3 - reveal the three missing words the husband spoke to his new bride.

Answer: #1- The content of the box, shaped like a part of the human body, was an assortment of chocolates in a heart-shaped container. The book he brought her had “Flowers” in the title, as the floral shop was closed, but the bookstore was still open. #2- the “special day” referred to by the husband is —Valentines Day. The man’s reference to Abe looking forward (Abraham Lincoln’s birthday in February) and George looking back (George Washington’s Birthday in February) indicates the location of Valentine’s Day between the two. #3- the three missing words spoken by the husband to his wife are “Be My Valentine.”

Two young adventurers, Tristen and Lawrence, travel to the state of Pennsylvania in search of the legendary Phantom --- to face it, and conquer it, if possible. The Phantom is famous for exacting revenge on any who challenge it, but the two daredevils are undaunted. When the brave crusaders finally spot the Phantom, they are awestruck, and approach the Phantom as if they are hypnotized. The Phantom’s henchmen then put the two into a strange carriage, restraining them with metal bars. The Phantom then uses a chain to hoist the pair high into the air. Suddenly, they are released and plummet downward, where they are roughly tossed to and fro until Tristen throws up on Lawrence as a result of this abuse. However, because they are both still alive and breathing, they are released from their restraints by the henchmen, and are permitted to leave. Although it sounds truly unbelievable, Tristen and Lawrence decide to return to challenge the Phantom that very same day. Have these two adventurers lost their minds? Are they both in need of immediate mental health treatment; or is there a more sensible explanation for these events?

Answer: The Phantom’s Revenge is a famous roller coaster located in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania.
