Rose: Is chaz in a lighthouse? Yes. Solved! :)


***** Spoiler *****

Chaz was a lighthouse keeper. He woke up in the night to grab a glass of water. When he switched off the light on his way back to bed, a boat crashed into the rocks and 200 people died!

Woot!

I knew the key was when you said "...in a house, in the broad meaning of house". I was like, what house isnt a house as what we normally think of but has a kitchen?!?

and Chaz, maybe in your next life you should consider having a water cooler put in your bedroom!

Puzzle #4

Rosie was home alone one afternoon. Rob had left for work earlier in the morning. It was getting dark and rainy when a thief broke in. He seized Rosie by the neck and roared, "show me where the money is." She struggled to tell him there's none here when, suddenly, the phone rang. Alerted as much as the thief was, Rosie tried to remain composed and said, "I better answer or the caller might suspect something." The stalker agreed reluctantly, "Fine! But no nasty business F5!" He released her and watched her carefully as she picked up the phone. She spoke the following:

Hey Kim, thanks for the call. I still need help to finish the project, but I don't have the CDs. Hurry and find the CDs. If you could please bring them tomorrow it would be great. Alright, bye.

"Good," the thief started again, slightly relieved now, "where's the money?"
"It's... this way," said Rosie pointing towards the stairs.

Shortly after they started walking, police sirens blasted out in the neighborhood. The thief, at the sound of sirens, sprinted toward an open window and threw himself out.

What had happened?

Does the phone call have anything to do with the police showing up?

Silline: Does the phone call have anything to do with the police showing up? Yes

Rob calls: Gets called Kim by Rosie and Told to Bring CDs Tomarrow.

CDs = Cash Value in a Bank

So Rosie calling Rob "Kim" and then saying CDs gave away to Rob clues to get the Police.

Kim works for one of those security surveillance companies. When the thief broke into the house, he triggered some sort of silent alarm on. Kim called to check if everything was ok, the words "project" and "CDs" are code names for "thief" and "police".

There was never any "project" or "cd's" so when rose started talking about kim knew some thing was up and called the policce.
