(BLT#25) Harry the Great's Achilles heel
It's hard to believe I know, but Harry is the strongest man in the world. Calling himself Harry The Great, he won the title in 2000 and has held it ever since. His speciality is lifting heavy weights above his head and holding them there longer than anyone else can.

One day, his friend Cyril asks him, "What's the most difficult thing you've ever held, Harry?"
Harry replies, "There is one thing that weighs almost nothing yet I always find it impossible to hold for more than a few minutes."

What is it


(BLT#26) The sauna murder mystery
Harry and his 3 friends Hak, Benny and Oz were members of their local health and fitness club. But as you would have guessed, they didn't exert themselves much at the club - maybe a game of cards or a short swim.

One day all four of them went for a session in the sauna. They got undressed and entered the empty steam room. Harry had brought his latest (and expensive) Sony walkman with him, Benny had brought his solid silver thermos flask with him, whilst Hak and Oz had brought books to read. 15 minutes after they had entered the steam-filled room, a loud cry of pain was heard.

Immediately, the manager came in to investigate and found one of Harry's friends dead. He immediately barred anyone from entering or leaving the room and called the police. When the police arrived, they discovered that the man had died from a stab wound to the chest. Yet all they found in the sauna were the body (of course), Harry and his 2 remaining friends, 2 books, an empty thermos flask and a walkman.

They could not find any weapon and they confirmed that no one else had entered or left the steam room since the murder.

What happened

Help! The evil Ork has imprisoned Harry. His only chance of escape is to build up his magic powers by answering a series of questions. For each five correct answers, he receives one power key. When he has enough keys he can start to unlock the secrets of the tower. Unfortunately, Harry is not very bright and these are the questions he cannot answer. Can you assist him gain his freedom?

The wizard Merlin riding to the rescue of Harry Rotter...

Spelunking = Caving *

Donna *

Acid rain *

No idea about the clothing care. * Look smart use ?'perchlorethylene.'

Anyone from the FBI about?
Mr Clark was found dead in his study by Harry, who told of his discovery to the police.

"I was walking by Mr. Clarks house when I thought I would just pop in for a visit. I noticed his study light was on and I decided to peek in from the outside to see if he was in there. There was frost on the window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside. That is when I saw his body. Therefore, I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul play. I called the police immediately afterward."

The officer immediately arrested Harry for the murder of Mr. Clark. How did he know Harry was lying
