Solution

The letter was written on a typewriter which has a problem with the top row of letters - they did not print. The letter should have read:

Dear Sir,

I would like to complain about the top row of my typewriter.

These letters appear not to work correctly.

As you can see, these letters are missing from this document.

I would be very grateful if you could correct this problem forthwith.

Many thanks,

Mrs Miggins.

Epitaphs

Below are four epitaphs (writing on gravestones). From the writings, can you tell the occupation of each person?

1. Here lies Mortimer Bibbs.
He took part of ours and gave it to big brother, but he always had good form.

2. Here lies Dirk McDuff, who toppled giants with weapons of steel. If only he'd heard his partner's shout before the giants found their revenge.

3. Here lies Suzy Smelt. She constructed many a bomb but mostly brought smiles to our faces.

4. Here lies Ethel Grant. She spent her whole life fighting with what she will now become.

Bumper Stickers & Cool Remarks

Lines

Birbal was jester, counselor, and fool to the great Moghul emperor, Akbar. The villagers loved to talk of Birbal's wisdom and cleverness, and the emperor loved to try to outsmart him. One day Akbar (emperor) drew a line across the floor. "Birbal," he ordered, "you must make this line shorter, but you cannot erase any bit of it."
Everyone present thought the emperor had finally outsmarted Birbal. It was clearly an impossible task. Yet within moments the emperor and everyone else present had to agree that Birbal had made the line shorter without erasing any of it. How could this be?

Solution

Birbal simply drew a line longer than the first, which made the first line shorter than the second.
