  9. No 1 sounds like the kind of math problems I hated back in my school days, although even more annoying as I suspect it may not be about math at all... ;-) I think I know 2 and 3, but I give up on the rest for now.

  17. The only one that seems logical to me is #3, none. The shot would scare the others away. I'm no good at riddles. I've been enjoying visiting everyone on my blog list to catch up, as it's been too many months since I've blogger. It feels good to get back into it.
