Duh! I should have noticed that the lions hadn't eaten for three years. My logic didn't kick in on that one - and I didn't read it closely enough. These are interesting examples of how the mind can get locked on one thing (I wouldn't want to be in a room full of lions...) without paying attention to the details and missing the "obvious".

Not sure I would have gotten #5 - I was playing with the letters of the alphabet but didn't notice the lack of "e". Well done!

Thanks Kathy - I enjoyed the mental gymnastics.
