Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.

Answer

King Tut was born in 20 B.C. There were 120 years between
the birth of King Eros and the death of King Tut, but since
their ages amounted to only 100 years, there must have been
20 years when neither existed. This would be a period
between the death of King Eros, 40 B.C., and the birth of
King Tut, 20 B.C.

Subj:     Mr. Red, Mr. Green, Mr. Blue (S423)
          From: LABLaughsRiddles on 3/4/2005

At a local bar, three friends, Mr. Green, Mr. Red and
Mr. Blue, were having a drink. One man was wearing a
red suit; one a green suit; and the other a blue suit.
"Have you noticed," said the man the blue suit, "that
although our suits have colors corresponding to our
names, not one of us is wearing a suit that matches
our own names?" Mr. Red looked at the other two and
said, "You're absolutely correct."

What color suit is each man wearing?

Since none of the men are wearing the color of suit that
corresponds to their names, and Mr. Red was replying to
the man in the blue suit, it had to be Mr. Green to whom
he replied. We then know that Mr.Green is wearing a blue
suit. Therefore, Mr. Red is wearing a green suit and Mr.Blue
is wearing a red suit.

Starting with the farthest top, farthest bottom, farthest
left, or farthest right L (4 possibilities), there is only
1 E that can be reached, then only 1 V, then 4 possible
E's, then from each of those, 3 possible L's. This leaves
us with 4 x 1 x 1 x 4 x 3 = 48 ways to read "LEVEL."
Starting from either of the other 4 L's, there are 2 E's
that can be reached, then only 1 V, then 4 possible E's,
then from each of those, 3 possible L's. This leaves us
with 4 x 2 x 1 x 4 x 3 = 96 ways to read "LEVEL." 48 + 96 = 144
total ways to read "LEVEL."
