You guys too good, I'm running out of ideas...

Two spies, Agent 002 and Agent 005, were staking out an empty warehouse. This is the log report of Agent 005:

1800: We checked out the warehouse, there's a large crate filled with plastic explosives, a wooden table, and a folding chair. No trap doors or windows. Only entrance and exit is the one door in the front.
1815: We are in position, obscured from view, but have a clear view of the warehouse entrance.
1905: Two people wearing ski masks entered the warehouse.
1938: A person in a business suit has entered the warehouse. He was carrying a suitcase. Face was obscured.
2010: Two young ladies and an older man have entered the warehouse. We managed to get clear pictures of their faces. Photos uploaded.
2201: The business suit man and a young lady has left the warehouse. They walked toward the parking lot.
2224: Three people wearing ski masks just left the warehouse. One looks very bulky. The headed off in different directions.
2330: We returned to the warehouse. There were two gunmen inside. Gunfire was exchanged. The situation was contained, but Agent 002 was fatally wounded.
2342: The crate is now empty. There is no sign of the folding chair. Things were shifted during the gunfight. Photos uploaded.
0032: I have cleaned the scene. I will bring back 002's body for autopsy. There is a bullet is lodged in his chest.

On his way back to HQ, 005's car blew up and killed him. Who was responsible?

For the previous riddle, I was going to say love, but then I read the rest of it.

there were 3 people who didn't come in the from door. 2 people in ski masks went in, and 3 went out. that makes 1. then, there were two people still inside the warehouse, that shots were exchanged with. that makes 3 total people who weren't accounted for going in, yet it says the warehouse was empty.

Oh, yeah, I noticed that discrepancy too. If there actually was a secret way out of the warehouse, three people (two women and one man) could have just been looping in and out of the warehouse. Just a thought.

Darth Ritual strikes back!

I can't figure out any riddles, so I just googled some up and pasted them here :P

While exploring the wild highlands of Ireland, Robert was captured by 4368 goblins. Grumpy, the chief of the goblins told him he was allowed one final statement on which would hinge how he would die. If the statement he made was false, he would be boiled in water. If the statement were true, he would be fried in oil. Sine Robert did not like either option, so he made a statement that forced the goblins to release him. What is the one statement he could make to save himself?

I must say, I like how you slyly include numbers, Pi. The cupcake eating contest is one of the best you have done in my opinion :D

As for the answer to the riddle, my usual response is appropriate here: I don't know...

My solution to the riddle (although you can make arguments for your own solutions):

Becketta was on the right track. Six people went in, and supposedly only five came out. Notice that one of the three coming out was "very bulky". This means it is possible that he/she was carrying a person/corpse.
So six went in, and at least five came out. That makes at most one person left in the warehouse. However, there were two gunmen. How could this be?
What do we know about the spies in the stakeout? They carry guns. There were two of them. If they entered an empty room, would there be two gunmen in the room?
Notice how 005 carefully stated "gunfire was exchanged" without specifying who was shooting who. Also what does "the situation was contained" mean?
005 was a double agent and he killed 002.

Now the final piece of the puzzle is to look at the structure of the log. Each entry only referenced what happened prior to the time of writing. Thus, the log was being made in "real time", not a recap of what happen. What is the point of writing down stuff immediately after they happen? It must have been directly transferred to HQ. It was live feedback.

So you're the supervisor in HQ, you are reading this guy's log as it comes in. You notice the inconsistency with the number of people; you realize he could be a double agent. What do you do? You kill him. How? Well he's driving a car that your organization has provided...

So I watched Frozen. I liked it and thought it was a pretty good movie. Nevertheless, I feel like it is still slightly overhyped. I mean, I cannot recall an animated movie that received this much attention and hype. Of course that could be because I have never really paid attention to that kind of stuff.

yeah, i'm pretty sure that all the exposure of the main song on the radio, at least where i live helped hype it wayyyyy too much

It doesn't have to be good to be catchy. Remember Rebecca Black? How did it go viral if so many people hated it?

@Zeke haha, nice one :D

I don't listen to music on the radio often, so I didn't hear the song for the first time till I watched the movie. I thought it was a good song, but I can imagine how dull it must have gotten if it was played constantly. Any song that is played too much will get old/annoying.

Well, I would think he would encounter less beggars. Then again, beggars don't care what rank you are. They will just beg for stuff regardless.

He had 4* stuff, which is defender. Too lazy I guess. Only reason I know is cause [one of _'s] my alt is pure 3* for T2 LD.
