Submit your answer below.
Answer will be given by me at the end of the day.
Note these brain teasers are not created by me...
Today's brain teaser is:
Below are incomplete words. Place two letters in each bracket so that you can complete the word on the left and begin the word on the right. Good luck.

Fu (--) am
Ed (--) ar
Dit (--) urch
Ju (--) eam
Ran (--) ese
Divi (--) bt
Pi (--) upt
Dro (--) rse
Tr (--) aze
Bud (--) nder
Don't worry if you can't figure it out...(I personally only managed to fill 5 blanks)

The wife died in the crash and the stranger was the man that's dead.

you know too much

New one
Two grandmothers, with their two granddaughters,

Two husbands, with their two wives,

Two fathers, with their two daughters,

Two mothers, with their two sons,

Two maidens, with their two mothers,

Two sisters, with their two brothers,

Yet only six in all lie buried here,

All born legitimate, from incest clear.



Explain how this may be.

& signifies partnership
- signify the next generation
+ signifies brother/sister

Two grandmothers, with their two granddaughters,
female-missinglink-female, female-missinglink-female

Two husbands, with their two wives,
female&male, female&male

Two fathers, with their two daughters,
male-female, male-female

Two mothers, with their two sons,
female-male, female-male

Two maidens, with their two mothers,
female-female(maiden), female-female(maiden)

Two sisters, with their two brothers,
??? might be half brothers/sisters so would be hard to show

-----

combining Two husbands, with their two wives, with Two fathers, with their two daughters and Two maidens, with their two mothers.
female&male-female(maiden)+male, female&male-female(maiden)+male

there is currently 8 people in total not accounting for the two grand daughters and the missing link. Try making the second generation male of the first family the first generation male of the second family, thus reducing the number of people by 1.

female&male-female(maiden)+male
below male is the son of the first female
male&female-female(maiden)+male

There is now 7 people, and the daughter of the second family is now also the first family's grand daughter, the missing link was the grandmother's son.

If the second family's son was to be the husband of the firt family's first generation female, then the number of people would be reduced to 6 and the second grandmother to granddaughter relationship would also be sorted.

So the solution is, two woman each with a son, married each other's sons and each had a daughter

people answered them arleady.
1) N for november
2) tree should be three, mistake needs to be mistakes, there needs to be a 'the' in the sentence (what are the three mistakes in this sentence?)
3) a river
4) when 4 is in roman numerals
5) he is pointing at his son
