Is W and L, Washington and Lincoln?
ETA: Actually Pat, I think I’d just like to solve the puzzle. 25x, lincoln on penny, washington on quarter. 5x. Washington on Dollar, Lincoln on 5 dollar bill.
That’s s got to be it. Well done! And a fine puzzle too.
Yup, that’s it.
Biotop, since you’re back in the thread, do you have another one to offer?
Not at this time.
Was your W&L puzzle original? I really do think it was a fine riddle, even though I did not have a chance to really play it.
Yup, that was mine.
I’ve been working on this one a few days. Hope it’s OK.

As Rex died, his final thoughts were, “But…the investment worked the first time!” And he was gone. What had happened?
**
Did he die by falling?
Poisoning?
In an explosion?
No to all.
To clarify - “And he was gone” does mean he died?
Was the investment a financial investment?
Was this the second time the investment was made?
KK
The “investment” was something Rex had himself procured or made?
Was the primary purpose of the “investment” to prevent him from coming to harm?
Rex had been in the same circumstances at least once before?
And the “investment” had previously prevented him from coming to harm?
Was the “investment” a physical object that he had about his person or in his environs?
Was it possible for the “investment” to work a second time?
If the “investment” had worked a second time, would he have lived?
Did the “investment” itself directly cause his death?
Was his death directly caused by himself?
Was his death directly caused by another individual?
Was his death directly caused by an accident?
Was his death directly caused by an act of God?
Is the form of his death (i.e., what would show up on a medical examiner’s report) relevant?
kk
Was time travel involved?
No
Did Rex make the investment the first time?
Mahaloth, you missed post 2771.
Got it.
Did Rex do anything dishonest?
Was he the victim of dishonesty?
Did the person who caused his death intend to kill him?
