5: Our brave clown, about to cross a bridge so dangerous that another kilogram of weight would cause its collapse, not just by calmly walking but juggling, and with a blatant disregard for Newtown's Third Law of Motion, when he realises at least one of:
a) I've been had! There's no way a gold brick would weigh only a pound. A gold brick should be a struggle to throw let alone juggle three.
b) I doubt I can accurately juggle these gold 'bricks', since, being a pound each and given the density of gold, I now notice that they are each smaller than a cube 3cm long.
c) Given the current price of gold at $1,563 per troy ounce, my three pounds of gold is worth almost $US70,000. Why am I not at a bank. Also, what did I just do to earn $US70,000?
6: Remember when you were a kid, and a friend said he'd give you ten bucks if you did something, and when you did, he punched you ten times, because all along he meant "bucks" in the sense of "punches"? Remember how you thought that was "impressive" and "clever" and how you didn't think it was "annoying" or "cheating"? Yeah, me neither. Generally, puzzles should not be capable of being described as "technically not lies".

(Show it anyway.)
The native bush around Wellington, of course, I'd expect has plenty. But if I'm to successfully bush-bash through wilderness to find a rat I want the comic directly plus a decent RD figurine.
