Kogorous Riddle Thread and eworms Deduction Thread

[eworm]

Oh, that looks possibly right.

On another note, the fourth Brain-Frying Answer will be divided into two parts:
a) The Finale - the continuation of the riddle with a part of the truth revealed in a form of super-special plot-twisting unexpected ending!
b) The Deduction - the usual reveal. The only thing not included is "how is that person going to be saved", reserved for The Finale.

I'm thinking about posting The Finale first and then, when you have your brains fried with "HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!" revealing the whole truth with The Deduction. What do you think?

BTW I was going to do the exact same thing with the Brain-Frying Riddle #3, but, well, I didn't.

Ok, new one:

Spoiler:

Find the next number in the sequence:

811, 274, 97, ?

Hmm... 

Spoiler:

310?

81 / 3 = 27
27 / 3 = 9
9 / 3 = 3

1 + 3 = 4
4 + 3 = 7
7 + 3 = 10

Correct, your turn.

[c-square]

Okay.  This is one of those ones where you can (and should) ask yes/no questions to figure out the answer.  The more questions, the better!

The Scenario
A woman walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a glass of water.  Suddenly, the bartender pulls out a gun and points it at her.  The woman leaves the bar a little shaken, but satisfied.  Why?

[red]

she wanted a shot of something?
was she hiccuping? xD apparently being shocked/surprised can cure you from where I come from ....... we believe that anyway.

Hiccup is obviously the answer. Your turn.

[eworm]

Oh, an old riddle Yup, that's right, red, she had a hiccup. Your turn.
Not much questions, huh, c-square?

Wow..  That was fast.  Yup, she was hiccuping.  Most people I give this to take many, many questions to get to the right answer.  Well done!

[red]

thanks :] the others were there too, they just probably didn't get the chance to reply until after I did .... but anyway, here's my riddle:

There were once four people living together in the same house, Albert, Alfred, Alexander and Aloysius. Their occupations were doctor, broker, lawyer and mayor, but not in that order. One day a new person, Bernard, moves in and the neighbour tells him ..... :

"Albert and Aloysius don't get along with the broker. Alfred is related to the lawyer. Albert is on good terms with the mayor and the doctor. Alexander comes and goes very often, so his room is often empty."

Bernard nods his head and thanks the neighbour.

So - who is who? this should be relatively simple :]

[eworm]

Spoiler:

Albert is not the doctor nor the mayor (he gets along well with them) nor the broker (they're on bad terms). He's the lawyer.

Alexander is often out, so my guess is he's the doctor.

Aloysius can't be the broker for the same reason as Albert. He seems to be the mayor.

And finally Alfred's the broker.

[red]

yup~ so simple, right? :]

[eworm]

Quite.
So it's my turn? Yup, it is. And you love it when it's my turn, don't ya? Nyeh, nyeh, nyeh.
Even though you seem to have a disappointingly low interest in my Brain-Frying Riddles... *crying internally*

Hm, let's see...
Lately the most active Riddlers here are:

red,
VQ,
c-square,
sstimson
and me of course.

These five people are, in fact, the stars of FBI investigators in Japan:
James Black
Jodie Starling
Akai Shuuichi
Andre Camel

Unfortunately they're quite skilled at hiding their true identity. Moreover, the remaining fifth person is a Black Syndicate's spy! You need to hurry up and figure out who is who and most of all - and reveal who is one of the Blacks or else they'll kill us all! Of course you need to give some reasoning for your answer. Good luck!

It's not easy though... I'll give you a hint if I notice you having a hard time with this riddle.

[sstimson]

First Sorry, but this is likely a joke answer.

James Black and Andre Camel have color names. Jodie Starling has a bird name that could be colorfull. That leaves Akai Shuuichi. Unless you use the car joke (A Kia), I can not think of anything real in english his name goes with. I'll go with Akai Shuuichi as Rye the Spy!

Ps. You either need to give a fifth name or change the number of FBI people from five to four.

[VQ]

So, no hints? Can we ask yes/no questions?

Spoiler:

Do we need background information about the DC FBI agents to solve the puzzle?

Spoiler:

The Riddlers' avatars or names are related to the FBI agents names?

I think what eworm meant is that we have to identify the spy, who is one of the five riddlers, while also clarifying which of the other four riddlers is which FBI agent.
Waiting on answers to VQ's questions before I conjecture :

[c-square]

So, no hints? Can we ask yes/no questions?

Spoiler:

Well...

Spoiler:

If the avatars are related, then VQ, you're most likely the spy.  After all, your avatar's the only one who's dressed in black!

Oh, and Mr. E, I love the name!  Are you by any chance married to Ms. Terri Us?

Spoiler:

Or related to Mr. Yaz?
