Puzzlers - Not always what it seems:
Clue 2. 'What do you break by saying it's name?'
Clue 3. 'How can you prick a baloon without it making a noise or releasing gas?'.
Clue 8. 'How can I not sleep for 10 days and not be tired?'
Many thanks

3) you haven't inflated the balloon?

[Johnmon]

1.Thanks Fibonacci - Good Answer.
2.Bibblebub - I like your answer. It prompted me to educate myself on the Gregorian Calender which I found changed in 1582 and required 10 days to be lost. Many thanks.
3.The 'non inflated balloon' was our thought but it seemed too obvious. In the absence of any other explanation I will use that. Thanks again.
