Crime Spree

Several people in Nova City while away at their home visiting the hospital returned to find themselves robbed. The victims of the crime ranged is levels of wealth, though the more wealthy found themselves with more things missing. Investigators first checked the staff at the hospital, but everyone that would have known the schedules of the visits.had alibis for the times of the robberies.

It is entirely possible that one or more of them could have had an accomplice in the thefts and this avenue of thought is currently being looked into by the hospital’s investigators. The last thing the hospital wants is for any of their patients to feel that their house might be robbed while they are coming in for their yearly check up. This is the first time any mass theft has happened like this with a connection to this hospital. Hopefully investigators are able to turn up the culprit.

)

1.) Three countrymen met at a cattle market. "Look here," said Hodge to Jakes, "I'll give you six of my pigs for one of your horses, and then you'll have twice as many animals here as I've got."

"If that's your way of doing business," said Durrant to Hodge, "I'll give you fourteen of my sheep for a horse, and then you'll have three times as many animals as I."

"Well, I'll go better than that," said Jakes to Durrant; "I'll give you four cows for a horse, and then you'll have six times as many animals as I've got here."

No doubt this was a very primitive way of bartering animals, but it is an interesting little puzzle to discover just how many animals Jakes, Hodge, and Durrant must have taken to the cattle market.

Prize: Horse Riding Lessons

2.) In my collection of classical music I have a range of pieces which last 6, 7, 8 and 9 minutes.

The piece on DAT tape is longer than the piece by Beethoven.

The single lasts for 7 minutes and the album does not contain any Holst.

The piece by Butler is on the DAT tape.

Can you determine which piece of music is on which format and how long each lasts?

Prize: A record player.

3.) You have been tasked with cracking open a safe. But in order to open the safe you have to press every single button once only, in the correct sequence, ending on the button marked E.

Each button clearly states which button to press next, for example, 2U means move up 2 buttons and 3R means move right 3 buttons.

Can you determine which button you must start with?

Prize: A free safe.

4.) Rearrange all the letters in each of the sentences to form, in each case, a well known proverb.

They cannot turn around to see those behind them.

The person at the back is asked what hat they are wearing. They reply 'I do not know'. The middle person is asked what hat they are wearing. They also reply 'I do not know'. The person at the front is then asked what hat they are wearing. They reply 'I am wearing a red hat'.

A section in the paper that will probably only appear when the Horoscope writer isn't feeling lazy.


Quick Overview As an old partnership or arrangement comes to an end, a new one begins. Extended Overview Advertisers and marketers are always trying to sell us a dream or promise that their products will make us happier, more attractive, more popular and better than we were before. This endless cycle of consumption is just a fallacy. It's just a clever way of distracting you from finding your own happiness and separating you from your hard earned money. Career Overview It's easy to dwell on the negatives, but it's far more productive and beneficial to focus on the positives.	Quick Overview A brief illness or ailment will require rest and professional advice. Extended Overview Someone with a hint of arrogance in the way they deal with people may swan in and ruffle a few feathers. They genuinely think that they're right and they honestly believe that their way is the best way. If you and the people around you disagree with them, you'll have to do it with logic and by challenging them to defend and explain their ideas in more detail. Don't let their bold statements or overconfidence deter you from getting the best outcome. Career Overview We are all fighting battles, we are all trying to conquer and overcome our challenges. Keep this in mind when approaching people for favours if they are time poor.	Quick Overview Your leadership skills will move you closer to a special victory. Extended Overview While others may try to get the better of you, it isn't likely that they will succeed. You are a step ahead and quick to vanquish any challengers. Your confidence is high. Career Overview It's true that you need to spend money to make money, but you can also find a great bargain if you look hard enough.	Quick Overview The advice of a learned friend or colleague will open new avenues of discovery. Extended Overview It's your disposition that helps decide how you will approach or tackle a challenge. Some people see the problem and shy away or complain, whereas others see a challenge that they want to overcome. When your next problem comes along, think of it as a challenge, flip the switch in your brain from negative to positive, and be solution focussed. Career Overview A weakened passion can be revitalised. Feed your passion and watch it grow and strengthen.

Quick Overview Expect an abrupt change to your schedule today. Fighting against it could drain your energy. Extended Overview If you have suffered recently, don't ignore your own pain. It is okay to mourn for your loss and to take refuge in the comfort of friends and loved ones. Tomorrow will be a bright new day. The next sunrise will bring new hope. Career Overview Cultivate good relationships. You may not need someone now, but that could change in the future.	Quick Overview A recent business or work success has strengthened your self-esteem and boosted your ego. Use this new energy to move forward. Extended Overview The sun seems to be shining just for you today. Victory is, or will be, yours. This will be a successful day where you will begin to see the fruits of your past efforts. Challenges may be easily overcome or give way to new and exciting opportunities. Career Overview Don't be too timid to ask questions. Some will be great questions, some will not be. That is perfectly normal. So don't censor yourself.	Quick Overview Memories are wonderful things, but to dwell on unhappy events is unproductive. Extended Overview Some people might think that you have been foolish, but you are fully aware of what you have been doing and what you want. To other people, your choices might seem confusing, but deep down inside you are very confident about who you are and where you want to go when it comes to this particular desire. Stay true to what you want and give other people time to realise that you are on the right track and you are doing fine. Career Overview If you don't formulate a proper question, you won't get a proper answer. Asking the right questions can make all the difference.	Quick Overview This is a positive time for career changes, business ventures, and relationships. Extended Overview The sad story or tragic tale of another person may help to bring a greater sense of perspective to your own life at this time. We often get caught up in the daily busyness of living and working, going through our usual routine, not allowing ourselves much time to reflect. Their tale of despair or suffering will help you to see things in a new light, and to prioritise those things that really matter to you. Career Overview If you're interested in working for a new startup company, follow venture capital investment news so that you're one of the first to find out which companies are cashed up and ready to hire.

Quick Overview Let your spirit be your guide today. Ask and you shall receive. Extended Overview We're not always able to influence others or change their minds when we see that they're heading down a difficult path. We want to rescue them, protect them, and offer them our guidance and wisdom. We have been down a similar road, and we know which signs to watch out for and where the pot holes might be. People feel as if those sorts of problems won't happen to them, and so they tend to focus on the final reward without considering the challenges along the way. They feel invincible. We can't live their lives for them, and they may not always take our advice, but sometimes the best we can do is to let them know that our support and guidance is available to them when they need it. Career Overview New employees want to get familiar with their job as quickly as possibility and take on appropriate projects and tasks. Don't leave them out in the cold for too long. They might be more ready than you think.	Quick Overview It may look like a good deal, but have you read the fine print? Investigate further. Extended Overview It was all very predictable. You saw it coming. Others may have been blind to it, but you read the signals and saw what was heading your way. Some of you may have trusted your own instincts and got out of the way, and some of you might have decided to stick it out with those stubborn people who wouldn't listen and hope for the best. Either way, you did your best to warn them. How they chose to react was out of your control. Maybe next time they'll listen to your warnings a little more closely. Career Overview Be careful. Your meaning could be unclear. Ensure that you re-read any written communication before you send it.	Quick Overview The warmth and kindness of a special person will ease your sorrow. Extended Overview Things will be a little easier at this time. Many problems will be resolved with remarkable ease if you think laterally and gather the weight of your considerable knowledge and resources behind you. Your analysis of difficult situations is sharp and insightful at this time. Career Overview Many companies now use software to screen resumes before they are read by a real person. Ensure that you use appropriate key words and follow best practice when to comes to formatting your resume.	Quick Overview If you can't be certain that you'll win, don't play the game. You've got too much to lose this time. Extended Overview It's not just your circumstances that shape your life, it's your decisions and reactions to those circumstances. Remember, your postcode is not your destiny. Many people have overcome their circumstances through positive choices and sensible reactions. Your choices are powerful; you don't have to be a slave to your current situation or circumstance. Career Overview Looking for a new job can be a frustrating process that places enormous pressure on your willpower. However, with every attempt, you are building up your resilience and learning the ins and outs of a complicated process. Stay positive and keep moving forward.

Title: We the Attletonians
Info:
The various cul-de-sacs of Attleton have gotten together for a civilized meeting and have broken into two factions. The more reasonable of the two have decided that Attleton is the type of place where all people are to be accepted acceptably and the only exception should be where the law makes us unequal. It is for this reason that the Attletonians of the cul-de-sacs on the South side will be forming the South Attleton Safety Society (SASS), a band of concerned citizens who will be respectfully reminding our mayor and City Guardians that the majority of our people are without powers and those who wield any manner in public, not just demonly, should be considered armed and dangerous.

With the exception of supernatural emergencies such as the loss of the barrier, no one should be carrying weapons around Attleton be they guns of the literal or metaphysical type, except for designated law enforcement and attractive muscles. This will decrease the serial killer problem by not allowing access to ridiculous weaponry and stop demon-related incidences in a town where not only demons but all exceptional shows of power are in excess of what is necessary for peaceful living. Stop bullying normies! We the Attletonians fully support Guardian Dante in taking the first step toward equality in safety by banning free-reign demonic summoning and ask for your support in bringing Attleton even CLOSER to becoming a society free of power-induced fear! Equality in safety now with SASS!

Signed,
South Attleton Safety Society

Bounty Claim Form

Which Bounty: Family Jewels
Who: D
Unlogged Bounty Summary: D collected information in the victim's home. Through smell, D was able to track the culprit through the city and have a "talk" with them. D didn't turn the perp in to the police, rather he just firmly worded his warning about thieving other people's belongings. Once he obtained the stolen property, D returned the jewels to their rightful owner who couldn't have been more pleased. As a bonus, the sweet old lady made peppermint cookies for D to take home.
Additional Information: N/A

Which Bounty: Crime Is Ahoof
Who: Athos
Unlogged Bounty Summary: As it turns out, the Stablemaster was up to his knees in old gambling debts that his old friends decided to cash out. Athos set out to Fayren to further investigate the matter and after roughing up one of the stablemaster's former buddies, found a lead to where the horses were being stored. It turns out that a crimelord in Fayren took the horses and were going to ship them out of Fayren to Everglade. Athos, under the cover of night, found the location of the missing horses deep within the woods and freed them. The horses are all counted for and back within the hands of their rightful owner.

Additional Information: The musketeer might have made a few enemies in Fayren after roughing up one too many.

Which Bounty: Black & Blue
Who: Neil Blair
Unlogged Bounty Summary: Neil spoke to a couple of the people who were injured by the paintball shootings, and based on the where and the when of the attacks, tracked and located the group of four ne'er do well teenage boys just before they were about to accost another target. Rather than go rough on a bunch of kids that reminded him a lot of himself at that age, he challenged them to a target shoot. If any one of them could best him, he'd let them go, but if he won they had to come quietly. They set up a target on a tree, away from human casualties, and Neil beat the boys with relative ease, landing the only dead on bullseye. Resigned to their fate, the boys allowed Neil to bring them to the authorities in without complaint.
