Solve the following problem if you can:

Mervin Scottdale opened his eyes and saw a reddish sky with clouds in various shades of gray, but with an emphasis on leaden hue. The ground was also reddish.

Mervin Scottdale wondered where he was. Suddenly, he heard groans of pain coming from all directions.

Then he noticed figures in the sky. “Were they birds? If they are birds, what kind would they be? How did I end up in this place? It looks like an alien planet! Or am I under the effect of drugs and/or hypnosis?” he asked.

Suddenly, he heard the birds cawing and looked up: the birds were coming towards him. He started running in search of a place to shelter, but there was none. The entire floor in that place seemed to be flat.

Finally, he tripped and fell on his face. Then he heard the flutter of the birds’ wings as they landed, as well as the noise of the impact of their legs on the ground.

“My God, they must be huge!” he lamented. He closed his eyes and waited to be devoured.

However, he was raised brutally by the arms and some of the birds and saw astonished that they were not birds, but beings that resembled many of the images of demons he had already seen.

The demonic beings stripped him naked and began to abuse him sexually. Then Mervin Scottdale wondered, “Why am I going through this, my God? May it all be over soon.”

Eventually, he was devoured by the demonic beings. He felt terrible pain both from sexual abuse and from being devoured.

But again Mervin Scottdale opened his eyes and saw everything as the first time.

“A déjà vu?” he wondered.

And everything was repeated as the first time.

Then Mervin Scottdale opened his eyes again and remembered this third time the legend of Prometheus, who had his liver devoured by an eagle as punishment for having stolen fire from the gods and given it to humans. But then he remembered that he was no hero, but a villain, a serial killer, a child predator.

His cry began to echo along with that of the others he had heard the first time and that came from everywhere.

What place would that be? What is the connection with the other stories in the Scheherazade series?

Solve the following problem if you can:

A naked man climbed down the riverbank and dove into the water, swimming toward the opposite bank. But he was spotted by a large group of crocodiles, who came after him.

Within a few minutes, the naked man was caught and dragged to the bottom of the river by several crocodiles, while the waters turned red.

Then bodies of naked men began to appear in various places in the river, but were soon attacked again by crocodiles. All were copies of the first naked man.

More bodies of naked men emerged from the depths of the river. The waters became increasingly reddish.

Eventually, dozens of similar naked men emerged from the waters and made their way to the opposite bank. But as they emerged from the waters, they were surprised by a strong and bright glow – so strong and bright that everything turned white in their eyes.

What is this glow? Where did it happen? Why? What is the connection with the other stories in the Scheherazade series?

Solve the following problem if you can:

Somewhere in the African savannah, two men were removing equipment from the back of a vehicle. The night was clear due to the full moon in a cloudless blue sky.

Suddenly, birds flew around desperately, making sounds that foretold something very dark. Lions’ roars echoed next.

The pride of lions stopped for a few moments while they grimaced in the direction where the two men were.

The two men then passed in front of the vehicle where two skeletons were sitting in the driver and passenger positions.

The lions’ roars echoed again, louder – they were very close.

Due to the Tapetum Lucidum membrane, which reflects light back to the eyeball and gives felines the famous glow in their eyes, providing excellent vision, the pride of lions sneaked through the savannah.

Meanwhile, a drone emitting several colored lights was flying over the trees and stopped on one of them.

Sounds cut through the night, but they were not caused by the fluttering of wings, the communication of birds in despair, or the roaring of lions.

This time the sounds were babies crying!

The drone, controlled by the two men, was filming the victims of the sacrifice – 7 naked babies placed side by side.

The pride of lions stopped once more and made their faces towards the defenseless victims – this is the flehmen reflex (reaction, response or effect) (from the German verb flehmen, which means to raise the upper lip), the name given in zoology to the reaction present in ungulate mammals, felines and others, in order to facilitate the perception of pheromones and other smells by the vomeronasal organ – located in the roof of the mouth, it allows the animal to “taste” the air, that is, to feel the pheromones carried by the air in order to differentiate what type of meat they are hunting.

But for what? Who were the two men?

Can you tell us what happened to the skeletons in the car and the babies? For whom is such a sacrifice being offered? What is the connection of this story with the others in the Scheherazade series?

Solve the following problem if you can:

Somewhere in the United States, in a small town, the sheriff went out at night with his officers and a group of volunteers to hunt down the person who was attacking local residents.

It was a night of starry skies and a full moon, and one more victim had disappeared – a 14-year-old girl. There were now 7 victims since the attacks of what became known as “The Werewolf of Bones” began – the nickname being a reference to the fact that the victims were found without traces of flesh, that is, only their skeletons were found.

The day dawned and, nearby, a homeless man had opened his eyes in a forest and all he saw at first were the treetops and the blue, cloudless sky, with the sun shining.

Then, after a few seconds, he heard dogs barking in the distance and got up in fright. Only then did he notice his bloody hands, as well as his clothes.

The homeless man began to flee in the opposite direction to the barking of dogs, but was soon hit by a dart in his right leg and fell.

Before he blacked out, he saw some men surround him and pour gasoline over his body. Then they moved away a little and threw matches to set him on fire in a summary execution.

A few minutes later, the sheriff arrived with his officers and volunteers and were shocked by what they saw: a body still on fire, struggling and letting out horrible screams. After they managed to put out the fire, they took the body to the technical police.

It seemed a miracle that the corpse’s face was intact; one of the investigators recognized who it was: it was the man from Somerton, which was confirmed by consulting the Australian police.

Somewhere, the homeless man woke up and found himself tied to a bed.

How did he get there? Who is he?

Can you tell us what happened to homeless still being alive somewhere while in the place of what was supposed to be his body was the Somerton Man? What is the connection of this story with the others in the Scheherazade series?

While driving past a farm somewhere in the American Midwest, a man sees an 8-year-old girl playing next to the house. He distances himself and starts to observe her, as well as the house, through binoculars.

When he realized that the girl was alone for a long time every day, always at the same time, he decides to lure her to his car.

Succeeding in kidnapping the victim, the man takes her to a place of dense forest. Then he takes off the girl’s clothes, puts her in the back seat of the car and starts to take off her own clothes.

Five days later, a farmer in the region who was hunting found his car in the woods. When he checks the inside of it, he realizes that there is an adult skeleton in the sitting position in the back seat. Then he calls the police.

The police find that the car is stolen and, after DNA tests, discover that the man’s identity is Mervin Scottdale, a serial killer predator of children.

Searches were made in the area for possible victims of the maniac, but nothing was found. The police had checked if there were any reports of disappearance of a child recently in several states, but found nothing.

The serial killer was on the run from the police and his last victim had been a 6-year-old boy 9 days ago in a town about 70 kilometers from where his remains had been found.

What could have happened? Where would the girl be?

The police wondered how a body could fully decompose in three days!

Can you tell us what happened to the girl and to the serial killer’s body? What is the connection of this story with the others in the Scheherazade series?

Solve the following problem if you can:

As if by magic, Anton realized that he was in three different places at once. In addition to the room where he met his new brothers in the secret society, he had also just opened his eyes in two other places: one of them was somewhere in some French-speaking country, and Anton was surprised to see that he was fluent in thousands of languages, including French. In the course of the day, Anton gathered several women to participate in an orgy, with only him as a male; the other was somewhere in the United States, where Anton kidnapped a child and took him to a house somewhere in the mountains of Colorado. But when he was preparing to attack the child on the bed, he had fainted. Upon opening his eyes, Anton realizes that he is tied to a bed somewhere. Then he shouted the word “No!” and began to groan in pain. His body begins to fill with pustules as if it were the Black Death.

In a few seconds his body dissolves into an amorphous mass that runs between the walls and the floor.

Before these events, Anton listened attentively to the words of the great host. He was being introduced to the secret society he had longed to enter.

The pinnacle of the ritual of his acceptance was the use of the fruit of a supper with his noble brothers: Anton had already eaten many types of meat and knew how to differentiate them, but that meat was different from all he had eaten until then.

Everyone ate in silence, meditating. At the end of the special meal, Anton was then introduced to one of his new podeeres.

After the events somewhere in the mountains of Colorado, Anton and his secret society brothers groan in pain.

In another room whose access from the room where they are located is through a dark tunnel in the shape of Vesica Piscis, identical moans of pain are heard.

Can you tell us what’s going on in this room? What are the people identical to Anton in the secret society room? What are the moans inside the Vesica Piscis-shaped tunnel? What is the connection of this story with the others in the Scheherazade series?

Solve the following problem if you can:

Jack, a man in his forties, calmly climbs the parapet of a tall building, pulls out of his pocket a picture of two children, and slowly directs his lips to kiss them.

Then he takes a package from his pocket, puts the photo inside and throws it to the ground, making a metallic noise when he falls. It was a black plastic bag containing a weight made of silver so that it would not fly in the wind.

Jack looks again at the package and then at the sky, clear and sunny. A bird enters your field of vision, flying from the top of your head towards the front of you towards the north. He asks forgiveness from God and the children and plunges into the void – the emptiness that had been his life until now – whose destiny would be the encounter with the earth (From dust you came and to dust you will return).

Due to the noise of the body when it touches the ground, which immediately bounces – Newton’s third law explains that if a body A applies a force on a body B, body B will produce a reaction force on A; and Jack had also broken the golden rule that says “Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you” – curious people head to the place. The police arrive a few minutes after the suicide. Investigators go up to the top floor of the building and find the package containing the children’s photo, Jack’s photo and a note with information. The entire building is searched, but nothing else is found.

Behind the picture of the two children, Jack had written information about them; and he had done the same in his photo. While the note said that the reason for the suicide was due to his desire for the children, he had already planned to kidnap them and prepared the place to rape them and keep them captive (he underlined the option of killing the three if he was discovered by the police).

One of the children was his little daughter, Caroline, and the other was Lucy, the little daughter of one of the neighbors.

Back at the body, which was now in the morgue, the investigators are surprised by a revelation from a doctor from the scientific police: the body was that of the man from Somerton.

After thorough examinations – comparison with the DNA of the man from Somerton with the help of the Australian police – the police found that the doctor was right.

But how was that possible?

Somewhere, Jack opens his eyes; He is tied to a bed. And he wonders where it is and why?

Can you tell us what happened to Jack still being alive somewhere while in the place of what was supposed to be his body was the Somerton Man? What is the connection of this story with the others in the Scheherazade series?
