Sigh.

She was heavily pregnant. The 'stranger' was her baby and she died as a result of giving birth unassisted.

I think I should stop answering these riddles. They're all old ones I've heard before >_>

 

What a coincidence, they're all old ones I've heard before too, oh wait.

 

You win.

Day 24

Guido McGuido only wears a g-string

Almost sticking out, always his ding-a-ling

Muscle-tough, nothing he can't handle

Really manly, loves to gamble

 

Little unlucky

With all the bets

With Fat Tony

has a lot of debt

Loves the ladies

Has a lot of jewellery

So to pay this

Gave it all to Tony

 

Got no money, got no bling

How's he gonna get girls, onto his thing?

What should he do now? Hmm hmm Buzz,

Got an idea, call the fuzz

 

Yo what's up, Koerperich

I got a problem, in a bit of a lick

Love my jewellery, always wear it

But now its been taken, oh

Loved the bling, shines like my tan

Now without it, I'm just a craigular man

Guess it's not too bad,

Insurance taken out, I had.

 

Guido McGuido, nice rap, I tip my hat

But you're a fraud. Why does Koerperich think that?

[KamiKali]

You said in the first stanza that he only wears a g-string, now he claims to always wear jewelry which is contradictory. Also he wears only a g-string, he mentions his tan; the only way he'd get tan-lines of his jewelry would be to wear them, but he does not have any tan-lines of them.

Yes, if he was wearing jewellery he would have tan lines. He is lying about always wearing the jewellery which raises Koerperich's suspicion.

Day 25

Know it all Lisa
Nobody likes her
Off into to town she goes
Pop! What was that? All her tyres have blown
Slowly to the curb, she brings her car to a stall
Wait what's this? Yank-yank goes the door
All of a sudden a masked man appears with a gun
"Give me all your money, or else you're done."

The man retreats off into the distance,
Lisa look at her tyres, they were blown on purpose
It was all a set-up, she curses the man to eternal damnation
That's when she realizes she's close to a gas station

She walks to the station and then goes in,
The man at the counter asleep, hand resting on his chin,
"Excuse me sir, I need some help, I've had one hell of day"
"I need new tyres but right now, I cannot pay"
"See I just got mugged, hence the delay"
"The mugger also blew my tyres, why I need new ones, okay?"

"Sorry madam, but I just sell gas,"
"I know a mechanic nearby, runs an auto repair"
"If I tell him your dilemma, he can get here real fast"
"I'll give him a call, order new tyres and he'll be here"

Sure enough, the mechanic arrived on location,
Lisa led the mechanic to her car, not too far from the station
He brings out four tyres he had already prepared from his vehicle
He tells Lisa just give her address and he'll send a bill

She thanks the mechanic, and makes her way to the police station
She reports the robbery and asks for someone to be arrested, who in tarnation?

[Wingz89]

Probably the man at the petrol station (gas station), if he is sleeping in the counter, how would he know that all four tyres (tires) of Lisa's vehicle are all blown up?

 

Normally one would assume that only one tyre (tire) needs repair and not all four. Only the culprit will know what actually happened to the vehicle and that's my guess.

 

The other possibility is that Lisa recognised the mugger's voice, and the only other person in your riddle-rhyme that speaks other than Lisa is the man at the station.

 

Sorry, I'm dumb.

I'm changing my answer to the mechanic. However, isn't it quite common for customers trying to get their cars or parts of the car to pay for the services at a later date? It shouldn't come as a surprise if the mechanic didn't demand payment at the very moment when the service is done, no?

 

Or probably both the man at the station and the mechanic are working as a gang? So Lisa reported them both?

[Gantrithor]

Just to clarify a few things:

1. You are not dumb

2. Lisa tried to buy tyres from the gas station guy, not the mechanic, it's not a surprise that he intended to send a bill

3. Lisa mentioned that all tyres were blown to the gas station guy

4. The mugger sounded like Christian Bale's interpretation of Batman

I'll wait until the whole 24 hours have passed before I say what answer is right and what answer is wrong.

[AlmrOfAtlas]

I believe it was the Mechanic.

 

First off, his auto shop was nearby. Robbers on foot can't really go that far, so it raises flags.

 

Second, how else could he have known the exact type and quantity of tires to bring? As you didn't have Lisa or the attendant state how many were required, or even the make of the vehicle, the Mechanic would have needed to come out, measure the existing tires and wheel well, and put in a request for a specific type.

 

That's why tires aren't ever fitted on the spot. The vehicle is towed and assessed later.

Huh? Isn't the mechanic the one who said that he is going to send a bill to Lisa after he helped her fixed her tyres? How'd he know that Lisa has no money on her?

 

Okay, maybe just like you've said, its no surprise that the mechanic intended to send a bill (and not demand for payment at the spot), as most mechanics do that, right? Well, at least mine does (together with the invoice for filling too).

Anyway, I've never seen anyone fallen asleep with their hands resting on their chin, can you even fall asleep that way?

[Gantrithor]

I've fallen asleep while resting on my hand. Your wrist really hurts when you wake up.

[shirotea]

I've seen a friend of mine fall asleep while standing. Anything else is possible.

I'm going with AlmrofAtlas' answer. These sort of riddles just aren't my thing.

[Sapphic]

I'm going to say both of them (attendant and mechanic) o: They're in on it together!

 

Oops. Uh, mostly because the trap was near the gas station so ofc inevitably the victim will go there to ask for help. The gas station attendant does the mugging and the mechanic gets $$ from the work O: They profit twice from this gurl.

Edited by Sapphic, 26 April 2014 - 07:29 PM.

[Gantrithor]

Please note for all answers a who (singular or plural) and a why are both required.

[Rotine]

I believe it was the Mechanic.
 
First off, his auto shop was nearby. Robbers on foot can't really go that far, so it raises flags.
 
Second, how else could he have known the exact type and quantity of tires to bring? As you didn't have Lisa or the attendant state how many were required, or even the make of the vehicle, the Mechanic would have needed to come out, measure the existing tires and wheel well, and put in a request for a specific type.
 
That's why tires aren't ever fitted on the spot. The vehicle is towed and assessed later.

Good reasoning here but it's possible that the gas station dude told his brother about the details (tire type, size, etc). He must have seen the details of the tires when he blew them and mugged the woman.

 

I also find it suspicious that the gas station dude kinda didn't even offer calling the police when the woman said she just got mugged. He went directly to offering help thru his mechanic brother. The mugging happened right near the station, so maybe he should feel a bit worried about such stuff happening nearby. His station could be the next target after all.

 

Therefore my answer is the gas station owner.

You are correct in questioning how the mechanic knew what type of tyres to bring. Hypothetically if it were the mechanic, how would he know the call he got was about Lisa's tyres and not some other poor sod? If someone called a mechanic and asked for tyres, it'd be normal for the mechanic to ask what type. It was the gas station owner who told the mechanic what type of tyres when he ordered them, he is the criminal. Or so know-it-all Lisa thinks. Could be a lucky guess, no-one likes a know-it-all

 

Also, if it's known what the exact problem is, and the problem is just tyres, I'm sure they can be changed on the side of the road.

I can see how being in cahoots would work, but there's no specific reason for Lisa to suspect the mecanic.

Correct person, reasoning is off on the point that I'm not sure what the gas station owner telling his brother would have to do with anything.

What has four legs at the head, two legs in the middle, and three legs at the tail?

I'm going to say that "head", "middle" and "tail" are metaphors for life phases.

 

Cute little baby who walks on four legs > adult who walks on two > cynical old coot with a stick (to whack people) who walks on three, with the third being that whacking stick.
