Puzzle 5 


Last week my wife and I found ourselves stranded on an island, oops!

Unfortunately, we were also stranded with our two sons, with no clear means of rescue.

Luckily, I came across an old rickety boat which I knew could carry either one adult or two children.

How did I rescue my family?

Puzzle 6 


I was recently given a new watch for my birthday.

However, as usual with my presents, it was quite useless as it loses 6 minutes every hour.

I set it using my friend's accurate watch at midnight, and it now shows 10:39am.

I know that the watch stopped 21 minutes ago, so what is the correct time now?

Puzzle 7 


During the recent BrainBashers cipher convention, a Morse code contest took place.

The contest consisted of a Morse code transmission where the spaces between the letters and words were missing.

Can you find the ten names for pet cats?

..-..-....-..-...-.-.-- -..--...-. .--.........-.-..-.... ....--.---- ..-...-....-..- ------ -.--...-...-.-- -..-..-...-...... ...----.-.-.-... --..--.-....
Luckily, BrainBashers has provided you with a list of the Morse code characters:
