yeah, he would have had to drink the coffee before he could see the roach .. so maybe she fished it out and didn't refill the cup?

That's my guess. If he noticed a roach in the bottom of his cup, then he drank almost all of the coffee. Therefore, the waitress would have to bring back an empty cup for him to notice it was the same one.

The guy gets up acuses the girl of giving him the same cup of coffee and demands to speak to the manager. How did he know?

.................

You are given a two strings which both at their lengths burns at variable times (differential rates, example - burn at 1 inch/sec than in an instant 4 inch/sec than back). The total amount that one string burns is one hour (i.e. both strings burn in an hour). You are given a match and are told that unless you measure 15 minutes with these strings you will be killed, what do you do?

.................

There are 3 lights in a closed room and three switches outside. You must correlate the switches to the lights while only entering the room once. How do you do it?

.................

You are a detective and have found a man, hanging by his neck from a rope from the ceiling, dead. There is no furniture or place for this man to stand to get to the hanging point. The room is humid and stale at the same time. How did the man kill himself?

.................
I have some harder ones, but that is it for now.

#3: Turn on one light, and leave it on for five minutes, then turn it off. Turn on another light. Go in the room, and whatever light is warm but off is the first switch. And then you go off of whatever is on / off for the remaining two.

#4: He stood on a block of ice.

Tas.

Cookie for you

The roach was still in the coffee?

Nope try again
The coffee was cold?

Your grammar is so terrible for these that I can barely understand what you're getting at. If I understand you correctly, you have two strings that burn at different rates, but they both would burn to nothing in exactly one hour. You want to burn a piece of each that, in total, would burn for 15 minutes (so one piece of one burns for, say, 5 minutes, and one piece of the other would have to burn for 10 minutes). If that's the case, just fold them both in half, then in half again, then in half again. Take that length of string from each and you should have 7 1/2 minutes of burn in both.

Seriously, learn to write.

Nope. wrong on both counts. You can't just fold them, the string burns at differential rates. <Sigh> If you don't know what that is look it up, or look at my example in my post.

CO poisoning from bad muffler? Electric shock from ignition/bad wiring on starter? Heart attack? Most reasonable simple answer is heart attack, but if the car was involved...
