No surprise, the answer to the following is a palindrome! This one's a little harder.

What was shouted by the man who was hospitalized for an irrational fear of nomadic people:

"_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , _ _ _ !"
The answer i was looking for was given by you.
"i am full of problems"
Well i just read too fast over it and missed that one. Sorry for that.

The palindrome riddles aren't all that difficult, if you can think of the key word (gypsy here), and reverse it, you can get a pretty good idea of where to start off.

What? Was that fast for you? I should have solved that palindrome much earlier.

right, you take that reverse and then look for words in it (like spy). Likewise, when I did the owl one, I knew "hoot" would be in it, reversed it and got "too".

As I promised: The next Williams and Borner Case just for you.
You can go on here, because this will take some time.
This time I tried to keep it short(well I tried) and not to loose myself into the lyrical abyss :)
Some information won't be needed and some are really important!

Williams and Borner - Aunt Merries "Vacation"

Williams and Borner are called out to the landhouse of the McKenzies, an old an royal family of the Country.
The oldest lady of the House, Mery McKenzy fell into a depression after her husband, Lord Karl McKenzy, died four years ago.
The cicumstances of his dead are not really clear and only the mistress seems to knows something about it but always kept quiet.
He was 80 years old.

Even given her age, 78, she went out with several other men and it's said that she even was sexual active with them.
The childen are very concerned because they would equally get the heritage split between them as long as the mistress dies in the landhouse.

But now it happened - Aunt Merry is gone. Four postcards are left behind and a scrapped piece of paper with strange sentences.
Each of the postcards have the family Logo stamped onto them. Borner ordered the Head-Butler to get the cards for inspection.

There is a Traveldiary but the only thing written in it is
"There is nothing here. I took it with me. My beloved memories ~KMcK"

The people who are with Williams and Borner:
Sally Hamroy (40) is married to the family attorney and was always against her mother meeting other men.
Kelly McKenzy (35) isn't married, anymore, because she runs a travel agency in town. She doesn't really care about her mother.
Becky Hamroy (14) child of Sally and Frank Hamroy.

All of them emplyoees have a histroy of living in a family that always served the McKenzies.
The old generation always drops out when the sons and daughters are old enought to take over.

Butlers:
Henry Foller (45) is the head-butler and was raised at the landhouse and wanted to follow the family tradition.
James Foller (40) is the younger brother of Henry and doesn't look like his boss. They easily get into a fight over little things.
Paul Schwan (28) is the only child of the Schwan family, he lost his parents in a fire ten years ago. Until now the cause of the fire is unsolved.
Maids:
Caroline Foller (36) the youngest of the Foller family and she doesn't like her borthers at all.
Tim Gardener (15) working under the supervision of Caroline because he started working just a few months ago. He is different from the other servents
because he was picked by the mistress herself and gets along well with Henry Foller, who nobody really likes that much.

Gossip about the Family:
From Sally Hamroy:
* Mother always fooled Father. I saw her dating many men before.
* Father did his best to keep this family together but it cost him his life, at least I heard that from my mother when we had a fight.
* Their vacations where long and father was always so relaxed afterwards.

From Becky Hamroy:
* Granny isn't like mommy says. She is nice and gentle in her own way.
* Mommy is crazy too but she doesn't mean any harm.
* Once grandpa brought me a rock from their journey.

From Kelly McKenzy:
* Mom and Dad always liked to travel they went to so many places but only one they could never travel to. It would have killed my father.
* His lungs where weak and he needed oxygen after he went out shopping. He was fast with that. Ten minutes to town and ten back.

From Frank Hamroy:
* Well my clients always have been in a struggle about the heritage. I tried to talk sense into them. I really tried.
* That stamps are worth nothing.

From Henry Foller:
* The mistress had some business of her own, the master didn't know about it.
* What happens in this house stays in this house.

From James Foller:
* I don't know what happened but Henry was shocked when he found the body of the master.
* That poor Tim isn't really liked by anyone because of my brother.

From Paul Schwan:
* I remember a time where everything was easygoing and everbody got along well you know... before the master died.
* The master died after he went shopping. His oxygen was empty.

From Caroline Foller:
* My Father doesn't want me meet with Tim. He says Tim a strange because the tradition was broken by the mistress herself. I never heard him talking like that about the mistress.
* There never was a funeral for the Schwans. It's said the were burned in Hellfire.

From Tim Gardener:
* I am very gratefull to be here. Finally.

The scrapped piece of paper
"Emtpyness is the key, a substitute the solution."

Aunt Merry isn't a fan of long letters but a great fan of riddles.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Card 1:
Spoiler:
V is gone and 14 placed in, right at third- and last in place.
Both birds where only toys in my hands, at the same time.
Experiments go wrong and this one failed because of the oxygen.
Card 2:
Spoiler:
After the fourth the 15 comes, also second to last.
Faithful and careful are two different things.
I wasn't careful enough, but could live with it at least a bit.
The danger in the cave, so gave it up and saved at least another life.
Card 3:
Spoiler:
12 is the only beginning of both of this words.
The reason will show the place at hand, with two more letters you have it done.
I did the penguin too, more than once. Always aware of the situation.
Card 4:
Spoiler:
Numbers are lucky so delete the E, it isn't needed anymore.
The cub joines the flock after years and now it's safe
because of what the flames consumed the 4 lonely years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After reading this postcards Borner knew where to search for Aunt Merry and who he has to take with him to make her come back.
He even found out what happened to the Schwans.

The questions are easy:

Where is Aunt Merry now and who knows where she is?
What is her reason to do this?
What was Borners reasoning and who took he with him?
Figure out what happened to the Schwan family.


Well you all have one week to solve this! I won't be answering any questions because I am not around anymore.
Send it via PM! NO QUESTIONS! NO HINTS! YOU HAVE ONE TRY TO GET TO GET IT RIGHT.

I will give the solution when I am back.
You won't know if you are right or wrong before.

Now brave detectives!
Start you work and save Aunt Merry until Sept. 4th 2011.

This... seems complicated.
Especially since there are too many characters. And even though there's a lot of info about each of them, we know nothing about them - they are just names, not people. It was like that in the previous case too... I think I prefer the characters to be more "human".

And the post is too chaotic... First we'll have to read it many times again and write all the date for ourselves, so it can be understandable.

Do we have to solve Kogorou's riddle first? or Can we continue with the normal riddles?
I believe it's Ankor's turn.
Spoiler:
Also, who already solved Aunt Merry's cards?

No this riddle is not in the queue you don't even have to solve it if you don't want to.
Sorry for my late reply but I wasn't able to post anything yesterday.

@eworm.
Believe me you don't want me to add more stuff to make the persons more lively.
I could try to make it look better via formation but this is the best I could do because it's so damn long.

OK.

I hope this riddle was not hear before.

Thief managed to break into a bank partly disarming the security alarm.
Bank's safe contain 200 boxes from which 3 boxes contain 35, 69 and 91 diamonds accordingly and other boxes are empty.
But as alarm only is only partly disarmed thief can do only the following things with the safe without being caught:
1) if a box contain exactly one diamond he can take it
2) put all the diamonds from one box to any other box
3) put exactly half of the diamonds in the box to any other box (if diamond amount in the box is not even this cannot be done).

So how many diamonds can the thief steal?
