AHHHHHH I GOT IT!

C. "b"

sabara => sahara (desert)

Both "desert" and "dessert" are used in the text of the riddle. That's a clue! You sneaky granny, Kumasawa!

if this is the answer, I would be kinda annoyed.

My guess is that the use of "desert" in the riddle text is more than just a typo.

It's ok ZD--I was literally lying in bed, mouthing all the letter variations for this riddle until I came up with something that actually resembled a word. My own sanity is not a given here.

99+20=119
130-20=110

119-110=9, which is half of the word emergency, since it sounds like 9 said twice.

D. 20

Oof, this one really stumped me. I got tangled in Japanese vocabulary and got nowhere. Math!!! :doh:

I really like how the background dessert image is different here: it looks a bit more sophisticated. I wonder why they changed it? Regardless, it's a brilliantly subtle act of misdirection to include a pastry.

Well, there's that standard one that I heard a lot as a kid:

You have 10 apples and you take away 4—how many do you have left?

10, dummy!

edit: the fact that I initially wrote this riddle incorrectly speaks to how awful I am at numbers. Arrgh!

D. 4!

edit: just saw everybody's posts. :lol: just blame Eva! It's funny to imagine how someone would vocalize "_th" in English. Blankth?

It's funny because in Japanese the counting word for "floor" doesn't really vary: it's just "kai." Ikkai (1), nikai (2), sankai (3), yonkai (4), gokai (5). I'm curious about how the Japanese version of this one goes.

Whoa, this riddle is basically everything I ate yesterday. Creepy.

I don't think the solution is some weird numbers poo poo--it's gotta be wordplay.

Edit: one thing that is interesting is that all of the items are easy examples of strong flavors. Notice that none of them taste similar to the others. Salty, sweet, sour, spicy... and bitter. So I'm gonna go with D. I

Maybe this is why I have indigestion today. Yuck.

Interesting that they went for P for spicy instead of M for umami. (Since A for savory would already be taken.)

Ooh, M - Miso soup would be a good one for that.

E. 8 It's not really contained in the riddle, but we do know how big the big the VIP room is relative to the trip to get there.

The real question is, how many goats does Rosa have to kill along the way?

I guess the goat killing accounts for the two extra minutes it takes to bring the gold up.

A. Less than 10

So in this version of the riddle, the shepherd is quite a wolf himself!

Now, Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds her mirror

And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

Sayo probably didn't even need the brick to drown with that dress they're wearing, but they wanted to be really really sure, I guess?
