@axnr911 Oh no i didn’t take what you said wrong. I was just observing that i don’t have a great imagination- i’ve always said i was at the back of the queue when they gave imagination out :rofl::rofl:

Now I will need to ponder the riddle. Initially I thought it might be because Captain Smith was the Captain of the Titanic and thay sunk in 1912 before the war started. But of course Smith is a very common surname.
So then I got thinking that maybe he was in the RAF which wasn’t forned until 1918 but Captain and Batallion are definitely an Army term so can’t be that either.

So, the cogs are turning and I shall return :grin:

I’m back. I am wondering whether something presented at the time would just have said for bravery, daring & leadership durung the world war or the specific battle. I don’t know but did the war only get whwn the 2nd world war happened because at the time they wouldn’t have known about the 2nd

Sorry I took the wrong turning and forgot to come back.
You were all right - yes he was bald.

Ann-- you guessed the riddle about the inscription on the sword. It wouldn’t be called “World War One”, since World War Two hadn’t happened yet. This war was called the Great War.

The lady in the swing–I could only find the bottom swing had a rope tie hanging from the swing and the shoes on the bottom seem to be a little lighter in color.

Swinging lady spot the differences

I have found two definite differences (Swing/rope and dress/top)
A possible third is in the clouds but it is hard to say due to the colour hues of light blue and white.

Found all 3 but that took some doing, and for that 3rd one I really had to enlarge the image.
Now I don’t know if I should put the icepack on my head or my eyes :sweat_smile::face_with_spiral_eyes:

189

I finally found the dress top difference–a little wrinkle or bulge near the blouse hem. But, for the life of me I cannot find the third difference.

It’s definitely the cloud at her foot. I had to enlarge the image to find it though😅

Wasn’t sure but it was the only thing that kind of looked like a difference and I did zoom in quite a bit but then the colours started to merge.

I guess Hilary will have to confirm as the question master :slight_smile:

Thank you, EmeraldEyes, I see it now in the cloud at her foot. But even enlarged it’s hard to see.
Here’s a riddle:
You see a boat filled with people. It has not sunk. But when you look back, you don’t see a single person on the boat. Why?

Oh my thinking cap is on. I’ll need to get those cogs turning again.

So you look back and don’t see a single person. Have they all gone below deck for some food perhaps? Maybe it’s a submarine.

Thinking there might be a hidden clue in the wording so off to get those cogs turning. I will return.

OK - this is too easy.
They are all married couples!

@axnr911 I agree with @ManjiB they are all couples :grin:

197

I can see the wrinkle now. Couldn’t for the life of me see it before.

ManjiB and Ann-- you are right. They are all married. I can see I’m going to have to do much better in searching for hard riddles or puzzles. I’ll work on it.
