Kelly and Jeff Tied!!! The long awaited answers to Wuzzlers With A Twist.

1. One day Kerry celebrated her birthday. Two days later her older twin brother, Terry, celebrated his birthday. How could this be?

Answer: At the time the mother of the twins went into labor she was travelling by boat. The older twin, Terry, was born first, early on March 1st. The boat then crossed the International Date Line and the younger twin, Kerry, was born on February 28th. In a leap year the birthdays are two days apart.

2. A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the same punch were poisoned and became very sick. Why did the man not get sick?

Answer: Because the poison was in the ice cubes. The ice cubes had not melted yet when he drank the punch.

3. Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones?

Answer: A square manhole cover can be turned and dropped down the manhole diagonally. A round monhole cover cannot. So manhole covers are round for safety.

4. A woman had two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day of the same year. But they were not twins. How could this be so?

Answer: They were two of a set of triplets or quadruplets. Alternate answer: one was adopted.

5. Why can't a man living in the USA be buried in Canada?

Answer: Neither country buries the living.

Headline: The WuzzleGate Story


WuzzleGate takes a dramatic turn as federal authorities execute a warranted search of the wuzzlemeister's email logs and produce the smoking gun - Kelly's missing email with answers to 2,3 and 5. The wuzzlemeister had this to say upon being asked about the circumstances of the missing email:

"In all of my time as wuzzlemeister I have never profited, never profited from this public service. I have earned every cent honestly and in all of my time in this public life I have never obstructed justice. And I think too, that I can say, that in my time of public life, that I welcome this kind of examination because the people have got to know that their wuzzlemeister is not a crook. Well I'm not a crook."



Administration officials at the wuzzlehouse said that the week #4 wuzzle results are under review and will be delayed indefinitely pending further scrutiny. The subpeona forced wuzzler staff to disclose the email in question:

Considering the hour, here are my guesses to some:

#2. HE is the one who poisoned the punch after he drank some.

#3 Probably because manholes are round.

#5 It's illegal to bury someone who is living - even in Canada.

Let me know if you don't get these! Love to all. Kelly.

Perhaps I'll have more guesses tomorrow or Monday or Tuesday.


Wuzzlemeister was heard saying the following as he was lead away by staffers "Tell her #2 is SOOOOO WrongOOOO, #3 - Not even close, and #5 - lucky guess."
