Can you say whether the noise was made a person, an animal, or something else?

No, because that would give it away. ;) But you guys are really close!

Okay no one got it, but a lot of you were pretty close.

Here is the answer:

The man was a burglar intent on robbing the house. When he reached the library, he heard a harsh voice say "Hands Up!" When he looked around, he saw a parrot in a cage.

Okay deadline for this one is Tuesday, July 29. And there are four clues. Good Luck!

Two grandmasters played five games of chess. Each won the same number of games and lost the same number of games. There were no draws in any of the games. How could this be so?

Okay, next!

Three women dressed in swimsuits were standing together. Two were sad and one was happy. But the sad women were both smiling and the happy one was crying. Why should that be so?

Correct!

It was the final of the Miss World Beauty Contest. The winner always cries. The disappointed runners-up smile because everyone is watching them and they are expected to be radiant and happy.

Next one!

Deadline: Thursday, July 31.

Clues: 3

Good luck!

On a busy Friday afternoon, a man walked several miles across London from Westminister to Knightsbridge without seeing anybody or being seen by anybody. The day was clear and bright. He had perfect eyesight and he looked where he was going. He did not travel by any method of transport other than by foot. London was thronged with people yet not one of them saw him. How?

A man died because there was a hole in his suit, but there was no blood near the hole.  How is this possible?

(There are at least four correct answers to this riddle.  See if you guys can get them all.)

Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".

1.  Wearing a space suit, he lost all his oxygen and suffocated.

Very good.

He walked through the sewers.

Deadline: Friday, August 1

Clues: 4

Good luck!

The boss of a storage warehouse had just arrived at work when one of his employees burst into his office. The man explained that while asleep the previous night he had dreamed that one of the stored boxes contained a bomb that would explode at 2 P.M., causing a terrible fire. The boss was skeptical, but agreed to investigate. After a search, a bomb was found in the area foreseen in the man's dream. The police were called, the bomb defused, and a tragedy averted. Afterwards, the boss thanked the employee sincerely and then fired him.
The sacked man had not planted the bomb, and his prophetic dream had saved the warehouse from destruction. Yet the manager was right to fire him. How could that be so?
