Time for some lame Conia riddle time!
So, some friends meet up and decide to go to a bar. One by one, they pass through the entrance: First comes John, later Frank, then Mark, followed by Ariel, continuing with Mary and as last mention, Justin. Who will enter next, and why?
A- Carlos
B- Jack
C- Peter
D- Lucy
Spoiler: Hint
It's too easy, you don't need one
Spoiler:
I'm having problems with this one, I can't find the relation between the names. Can you give us a hint?

Hmm..
Spoiler:
John has 4 letters
Frank has 5 letters
Mark has 4 letters
Ariel has 5 letters
Mary has 4 letters
Justin has 6 letters??
I thought I had a pattern there...
Oh! Wait!
J
F
M
A
M
J...
What comes next? J! It's Jack! The first letters of the names represent the first letters of the months of the year.

Move one to make a square:
Are you sure that image is the right one?

Yeah, just think outside the box.

Spoiler: Hint
It's too easy, you don't need one
Even though this might have been solved, I have a different and possible logical answer
Spoiler:
Notice that John, Frank, and Mark are Guy names
next we have
Ariel and Mary which are Ladies names
then you threw me a curve with Justin
But what if that was short for Justine which is also a Ladies name
then we get 3 Guys and 3 Ladies
Also note the guy name are in ascending alphabetical order
the same is true for the first Ladies names
next again we get Justine
So by those rules it seem it should be a ladies name and the only availible is Lucy
so I think maybe Lucy should be next
also
A- Carlos ( C is before J ) so not likely
B- Jack ( J is the same as J ) so not likely
C- Peter (Peter is a guys name and possible but already say to be wrong)
D- Lucy ( the only one left )

Oh, sstimson, your passion for solving solved riddles is so cute
Anyway, VQ's riddle:
Spoiler:
Is the pool square-shaped itself?
Are we supposed to make a people-square or maybe a waves-square?
For now I see three options:
- The "one" we should move is floating somewhere we can't see them. The whole pool doesn't fit the image. So just add one more person.
- One or more of the square's sides is the pool's edge.
- Instead of laying straight, the people make themselves more into the shape of L letter. Well, the one on the right already seems to be in that position.
Also... Is it important that they seem to be kinda dead, floating like that and with their clothes on?
Aaaahhhhhhhh I am disappointed in myself. How could I not see that?!
Spoiler:
I was expecting you to already know about this one

Interesting, but I gotta say I picked up names at random. I did intend male and female names so as to confuse everyone, but never intended there to be another way to solve it.
Is the pool square-shaped itself? No
Are we supposed to make a people-square or maybe a waves-square? That's what you have to find out but no waves-square.
For now I see three options:
- The "one" we should move is floating somewhere we can't see them. The whole pool doesn't fit the image. So just add one more person. No
- One or more of the square's sides is the pool's edge. No

Also... Is it important that they seem to be kinda dead, floating like that and with their clothes on? They are dead but no.

can I move the other bodies with the body I'm moving :-X
I mean hey, he moved them, not me! No, you can move only one body and by move I also mean rotate

Is the word "POOL" only for our information or is it somehow involved? NO, the word pool is irrelevant to the puzzle.
Are we supposed to make the square with the people's hands? .......close but no.

We simply get one of them out of the water - then the police will arrive and mark a square place around the body with a "KEEP OUT" yellow tape! Freakin' BRILLIANT!
Okay, I doubt that's the answer. But hey, it's pretty cool.

That's a good alternate answer, it would be something like this:
