Bellringer—
Arthur Curry lived alone and preferred it that way. Arthur never had any visitors, and he never visited anyone. Since Arthur never left his house, his supplies must be delivered every two weeks. One dark and stormy night Arthur lost control of his senses, turned off all the lights, and went to sleep. The following day, it was discovered that Arthur's actions resulted in the deaths of several people. Why?,

It was a hot summer day and Dick Tracy is summoned to a field located several kilometers from the city center. Tracy surveys the scene. A frozen corpse lies in the freshly tilled field and strangely, there are no footprints anywhere around the body. The closest marks are tire tracks from a tractor more than 50 meters away. A farmer, who had been working in the field all day, said he had not seen anyone or anything unusual. How did the person die and turn up frozen in an open field?

Bellringer- Two of the fasest horsemen in the kingdom proposed to the King's daughter. The King didn't like either suitor, but he wanted to look fair so he suggested a horse race in which the winner would have his daughter's hand. The only catch was that the winner would be the person whose horse came in second. The King was certain the race would never take place because he felt neither horseman would let the other win. Finally, the King's daughter made a suggestion to the two horsemen that would guarantee a fair race. What did she suggest?
