Gatsby
The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?
"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby, walking towards that group, saw a young girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "
The above passage is taken from the book "Gatsby" written by Ernest Vincent Wright in the late 1930's

Hint: Look closely at the words, what do they all have in common?

Answer: The letter "E" is the most commonly used letter in the English language, but in the whole passage, there was no "E" used.



5 hands
What has 5(sometimes 4) hands but is normal
Hint: You see this almost everyday.


Hint: Some of the hands can be taken off.

Answer: A person wearing a non digital watch - An average person has 2 hands, + a minute hand on the watch, + an hour hand, and sometimes a second hand.




Music
The music stopped. The woman dies. Why

This will make it very easy:
Hint: The woman works at the circus


Hint: The woman is a performer.



Answer: The woman is a blindfolded tightrope walker at a circus. The music ended a little early, and she knew that she reached the ends, so she lost balance and fell to her death.
