Were they talking about fishing line. I think that could be correct. Because the ones they catch, as in tangle on something, they discard, and yeah.

Ok, so the real bugs that they killed they threw away, but the fake ones that might have been on lures or something they kept. They didn't catch the fake ones, they bought 'em.

Edit: Hang on, did you state that you were satisfied with SH answer? Because if so you should post the next question...

Here's my guess: Lice/fleas or the like. The ones they could catch, they got rid of. The other ones stayed on them.

Leeches. The ones they caught they threw away, but the ones they couldn't catch stayed on them. They were fishing, so it's much more likely than lice or fleas.

Puzzle 4: The Barber Paradox. (14 points)

'In a town in ancient Greece, there was a law stating that all men must be clean-shaven, and no man might shave himself. The only person allwed to shave people was the licensed town barber (who was 40 years old). There was only one barber. Since the barber was bound by the same law, who shaved the barber?'

I have two questions to ask... But I'll only ask one...

Was there another town for the barber to go to?

Is there a law stating that the barber must be a man? If the answer is no, my guess is that it's a woman and she has no beard to tend to, and therefore nobody needs to shave the barber

Just to make a certain person mad, the rule is 1 question per post. I can say the guess was your second question, so I'm not answering yet

Puzzle 5: Late Arrival (10 points)

'A father was speaking to his teenage daughter. "You arrived very late, at 3:00 in the morning, and you kept me and your mother up waiting anxiously for you. I do not want that to ever happen again."
"But father," the girl replied. "I will never be able to do that again." What did she mean?'

Puzzle 6: Watch That Movie(16 points)

'Hugh had never seen the movie "top Gun" before he got on the transatlantic flight to take him from London to Los Angeles. However, he had heard that it was good and was pleased to see that it was due to be shown during the flight. After lunch, "Top Gun" was screened, but Hugh did not bother to watch it even though he had a clear view of the screen and the sound and picture quality were fine. Why not?'

Did it have anything to do with the massive time difference between London and Los Angeles? The time it was due to be shown in London would be hours ahead of what would be shown in California.
