Guess what the contest was and the solution??

Guess what the contest was and the solution??
A long, long time ago - before airplanes were invented, a suspension bridge was being built to span the gorge near Niagara Falls.
However, there was no way a boat could carry the necessary suspension cables across the violent water, and the bridge could not be built until the cables spanned the river.
In desperation, the builders staged a contest, open... to the public, as a way to solve their problem.
The contest was won by a young boy. Soon afterwords, the cables spanned the water.
What was the contest and how did it solve the problem?

A unique contest - Guess what did he do?

A unique contest - Guess what did he do?
A wise king devised a contest to see who would receive the Princess' hand in marriage. The Princess was put in a 50 x 50 foot carpeted room. Each of her four suitors were put in one corner of the room with a small box to stand on. The first one to touch the Princess' hand would be the winner and become the new King.

The rules were the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the plane of the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their body and wits (i.e. no magic, telepathy, nor any items such as ladders, block and tackles etc). One suitor figured out a way and married the Princess and became the new King. What did he do?

A Love Story(Puzzle)

A Love Story(Puzzle) -
He said I was beautiful, he did, I assure you; and I know he was right, for my skin was as soft as satin, and white like ivory, my figure slender and elegant.

Our first meeting was in a shop, and he made no attempt to disguise his admiration. He praised me up to the skies and called me “very dear.” From that day and for many months we were inseparable. I occupied all his thoughts.

Again and again he gazed with indescribable affection at my wonderful complexion, my graceful figure, and pressed me to his lips.

His embrace was tenderness itself, and whenever some trifling accident marred my beauty-if only for a day-his anxious solicitude knew no bounds. At night I rested on velvet pillows, and by day I accompanied him wherever he went.

He always enjoyed my society, even when nothing else afforded him pleasure.

He would turn to me, and not in vain, for comfort and relief when all other friends proved faithless. Oh! why was it not fated to be ever thus?

Alas! one day in a public thoroughfare I had a heavy fall, and, though it was through his fault, I was never the same to him as before. This cruel misadventure fairly broke me down. True, he endeavored afterwards to make amends for his harsh treatment.

He treated me with the greatest consideration and loaded me with silver; but the light of former days had gone out.

He tried to leave me as before, but in vain; his feelings had undergone a complete change, and now I am nothing but a miserable wreck of my former self.

Here I lie, all alone in my sorrow, a forsaken, broken —-?

How Old are they?

How Old are they?Puzzle Qn and Clues given below -
Annie, Betty, Charlie and Denise all live in different houses on Apple Lane.
Curiously, the age of each one is either seven greater or seven less than the number of her house. All of them are over 15 years old and less than 90. All the ages are different.

•Annie said the number of Betty's house was even.
•Betty said that the number of her house was greater than Denise's. And she added that her age is a perfect cube.
•Charlie said that her house number was greater by 3 than Annie's house number. She added that Denise's age was an exact multiple of Annie's age.
•Denise said that Betty's age was either 27 or an even number other than 64. Then he added that Charlie does not live at number 19.
As you may expect, those statements were not all true. Anyone living at an even numbered house made all false statements. Anyone living at an odd number house made all true statements.
What are the women's ages and their house numbers?
