Holmes & Booster
Holmes
Hey Booster, how about we tackle a cryptic clue I found at a crime scene—think of it as a puzzle that needs both energy and careful observation. What do you say?
Booster
Absolutely! Bring it on, let’s crack that clue with full force. Show me the puzzle and we’ll sprint straight to the answer. Ready?
Holmes
Alright, here's a puzzle for you:
I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind. What am I?
Take your time, Booster. The answer is waiting for a keen mind.
Booster
Echo, baby—just like a shout bouncing back, no mouth, no ears, no body, but it pops to life when the wind carries your voice. Let's smash this one!
Holmes
Correct, Booster. The answer is indeed an echo. Good work. Now, if you’re up for it, let’s see if you can solve this one: I’m taken from a mine and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, yet I’m used to write. What am I?
Booster
You got it—it's pencil lead, the hard‑wired graphite trapped in wood, ready to scribble all day! Ready for the next brain‑buster? Let’s crank it up!
Holmes
Here’s another one: I have keys but no locks, I have space but no rooms, you can enter but never leave. What am I?
