Riddle: Pat was an underwater adventurer for most of his life. He came from a very large family who also were known for their ocean experiences. One day, while exploring an area of the ocean floor near a shark-infested region, Pat encountered one of the vicious beasts who bit off one of his arms, but left him alive. Not one of Pat’s numerous family members expressed any sadness or gave any words of comfort to him after the attack; however, a miraculous event began to take place for him —— his arm which had been chewed off, began to slowly grow back. It was a slow process, but within a year Pat’s arm was fully and miraculously restored; however, no mention of this incredible healing was reported in any medical journal or newspaper in the country. Just imagine —— a severed arm was completely regrown, but no one reported it or even noticed it! So, my question to you is: who exactly was Pat, and why didn’t this miraculous healing become known to the entire world?
Answer: Pat was a Starfish who lived in the ocean, and had the unique ability to regenerate it’s arms if any of them were ever lost.

Riddle: Tristen received a phone call late one evening from his old science teacher, Mr. Riddleopoulous, asking him to come over to his house to see a few things he felt would interest him. Tristen remembered Mr. Riddleopoulous, a man of Greek descent, as being a person who always spoke in riddles, and was always vague when asking questions and giving answers and instructions. Tristen arrived at the Riddleopoulous residence just after 9:30 p.m., and was immediately ushered back to the patio of his teacher’s house. “See if you remember how to use this ‘precision instrument’,”said the teacher to his former student, “and locate the following: a Big kitchen utensil, a Little kitchen utensil, the Roman god of war, the Roman goddess of love, a liquid associated with thermometers, and a Candy Bar.” Remembering how Mr. Riddleopoulous interacted with everyone, Tristen was soon able to find all six of the locations requested ——— Can you? First, to solve this brainteaser, you must identify the “precision instrument” used by Tristen; and Second, you must name at least three of the six locations Mr. Riddleopoulous asked him to find. (Extra credit if you can name all six). Good luck!!!
Answer: Being a science teacher, Mr. Riddleopoulous had a great interest in astronomy. He called Tristen to come to the outside patio of his house after dark so he could challenge his former student to use his powerful telescope(the “precision instrument”) to find the Big Dipper, the Little Dipper(big and little kitchen utensils), the planet Mars(the Roman god of war), the planet Venus(the Roman goddess of love), the planet Mercury(a liquid associated with thermometers), and a Candy Bar(the Milky Way galaxy).
