DAY 1

Anna opened her own clothing store called "The Wrap". She wasn't sure about pricing certain items so she devised her own methood. At 'The Wrap', a vest cost $20, socks cost $25, a tie costs $15, and a blouse costs $30. Using Anna's pricing scheme how much would a pair of underwear cost?

$45 $5 for each letter

DAY 2

Eclipse arrived at the hospital to find that Sam, who had been in a coma, died moments ago while under police custody. Officer Slack, who was assigned to guard the door, swore that no one had entered the room since a nurse last checked on him some 2 hours earlier. Aside from an autopsy, Eclipse ordered that the hospital room be combed for clues. The only unusal thing found was a waste can containing crumpled pieces of paper, a toung depressor, a half eaten apple, and an empty cigarette pack. Other than that everything seemed normal. After the search, Eclipse suggested to Offecer Slack that he was lying, and that someone had indeed been in the room in the last half hour. What caused Eclipse to draw such a conclusion?

it was the apple, apples rot very quickly aka most of you were right

DAY 3

Specta and other avid mountain climbers paid a lot of money to be the first to scale a mountain. After several days of climbing they finally reached the pinnacle, and to their dismay, found a cabin and three frozen bodies. Since Specta and her fellow climbers were the first people to ever climb the summit, how could this be possible?

It was an airplane cabin that crashed on the mountain

45 dollars

you put that "logic" thing before i posted

but each letter = 5 dollar

opps

$45, as each letter of the name gives it $5 (three-letter tie is $15, five-letter socks is $25, etc), so nine-letter underwear is 45.

I know it's for the sake of the problem but... what a ridiculous pricing standard. XD

[Rezzy]

[spoiler=Guess and reasoning]Each letter costs five dollars, so I guess underwear would be $45, but pair of underwear would be $75.
If you just want a bra, you could save money and pay $15. Panties cost a bit more at $35. Boxers are $30. Briefs are also $30.

[eclipse]

Underwear (nine letters) * $5 = $45

I'd totally go bra shopping there.

[Serpent of Sheol]

$45

$5 for each letter in the item

that's some very fucking expensive underwear

[FdRstar]

$45, $5 for each letter in the word.

[Specta]

i love brain teasers and riddles thank u for making this thread

Underwear would be fuckin expensive and cost $45

if she's doing $5 per letter in the name

[Rezzy]

$45

$5 for each letter in the item

that's some very fucking expensive underwear

[spoiler=reply to spoiler]But just think of the money you save on bras!

Also, buy in bulk, underwear is $45, but eighty pairs of underwear is $110.

[Roxas]

$45.00 USD, because each letter in the name of the object is $5

[Freohr Datia]

looks like she's pricing based off the amount of letters in the word multiplied by 5! Underwear would then be priced $45 unless I really suck at counting/math but I triple checked so I think I'm gud

[Thor Odinson]

9 letters x 5 = $45

[Integrity]

nothing; anna neither wears nor believes in selling underwear

I'm curious how you stumbled across this information.

I'm the only one who couldn't figure it out on his own except kind of integ.

[Original Alear]

No no I gave up very quickly. I doubt I would have gotten it though.

[eclipse]

Oh WTF.

If the room had been truly vacant, the half-eaten apple would've been brown after two hours.

[Rezzy]

[spoiler=Guess and reasoning]Depending on the condition of the half eaten apple, if the fleshy part has not yet turned brown, that could lead one to believe it was freshly thrown away.

And ninjad, I hate trying to type on a phone.

The half-eaten apple. Sam was in a coma and couldn't have eaten it, and if the apple had been there longer than the time-frame specified, it would've turned brown and all that.

[Makaze]

Multiple clues, but the apple is the important one. Apples turn quickly after the skin is broken.

Others include the cigarettes... You can't smoke in a hospital, the officer would know this and would uphold the law, so someone other than an officer would have to have been there. Or, the officer left for a smoke break, and the pack suggests that. Not conclusive, but the nurse would definitely have some questions about it.

a man in a coma ain't gonna be smoking and throwing cigarettes away man

or, throwing anything away, really

[spoiler=Comment about spoiler]The cigarette pack was empty, so somebody could have thrown them away after stepping outside for a smoke, and we don't know how long it's been since the garbage has been emptied.

First hand experience from working in a hospital here, patients or their visitors are often caught smoking in rooms, even though it's against the rules, so if that was their last cig, they may have thrown the pack away at any time since the trash was last emptied.
