Two vertical 750 ft posts have a 1000 ft rope stretched between their topmost points. The rope sags to within 250 ft from the ground. How far apart are the posts?
“I make you weak at the worst of all times. I keep you safe, I keep you fine. I make your hands sweat, and your heart grow cold, I visit the weak, but seldom the bold. What am I?”
Okay, that bunch should keep you going for a little while! [eh]
“I weaken all men for hours each day…”: What’s something usually done more at night which gives you strange visions?
Peasant to marry king’s daughter: Peasant does something to one of the pieces of paper.
“Red, blue, purple and green…”: This thing has more colours than the four mentioned.
Two vertical posts: Think about it more. Nothing tricky about this one, you just have to picture it. Obviously the posts aren’t 1000 ft from each other, because the rope would be pulled tight and wouldnt sag at all (leaving it 750 ft from the ground)
“I make you weak at the worst of all times…”: I thought this was easy! When do your hands sweat??
If any are still too hard, ask for more hints [cap]

“I weaken all men for hours each day…”: “Visions” might have a more specific name?
Peasant to marry king’s daughter: Peasant rips up the paper and asks the king to reveal the one left! The king then has no choice but to agree that the piece of paper torn up by the peasant had “MARRIAGE” written on it [wacko]
“Red, blue, purple and green…”: It’s a rainbow
Two vertical posts: Anyone who applies a little logic will get this one!
