Melinda took a shower. Her mother was upset, then happy, then mad. Seeing the rash of shower puzzles popping up really made me want to post this, but my three other running puzzles stopped me. So, here it is. | ||

Was her mother upset and happy and mad because of the shower? Did all three emotions happen during the shower? If not, did upset/happy/mad happen before/after the shower? Is the mother's location relevant? If so, is she in the house? In a certain room? Water heater relevant? | ||

Did Melinda's mother (who i will call Melmo) see something that made her upset? happy? mad? Hear something to make her upset? happy? mad? If she saw something, was it in the shower? In the bathroom? In Melinda's room? On Melinda? (e.g., "Oh my stars, Melinda has a hickey - oh, wait, just a tattoo, thank goodness - hold on, Melinda has a tattoo? Grr...") Was it somewhere else entirely? | ||

When Melmo saw the steam... There seems to be some confusion. When the hot water wasa running, Melmo saw steam. Melmo did not see steam when Melinda was showering. In fact, I believe we have already discovered that Melinda took a cold shower, but Melmo thought that she had taken a hot shower. Recap style questions would probably be helpful to you now to put it together, you have most of the pieces. | ||

So could it be that Melmo is mad that Melinda took a cold shower when she was told to take a hot shower? Yes! or Whatever made Melinda dirty only washes off with hot water.And close enough. *******Spoiler!******* Melinda is repeatedly told not to take cold showers, because she does not get her hair clean when she does. She is also notorious for taking looooooooooooooooooooooooooong showers. Like two hour or more showers. So she takes on of these showers of exraordinary length, after which her mother wanted to take a hot shower. Her mother became upset, because she believed that there would be no hot water left after Melinda's gargantuan shower. When she got in the shower and turned on the hot water, she was happy to find that there was still hot water. Sometime after her hot and steamy shower, she realizes that there could not have possibly been enough hot water for the both of them to have hat hot showers, therefore Melinda must have lapsed back into her habbit of taking cold showers again. This made her mother mad, because Melinda's hair would not be clean from such a shower. Whew! Kudos to both Crazypalpig and Billkatt888 for sticking this one out to the end, and finally solving it. Way to go! More will come soon, hopefully. |
