Certainly Not Whining
Riddle Me This?
“In victory, you deserve Champagne. In defeat, you need it.” - Napoleon Bonaparte “In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.” Benjamin Franklin
“What wine goes with Captain Crunch?” - George Carlin
“Age is just a number. It’s totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.” - Joan Collins
“Better is old wine than new, and old friends like-wise.” - Charles Kingsley
“One of the disadvantages of wine is that it makes a man mistake words for thoughts.” - Samuel Johnson “I only drink Champagne when I’m happy, and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company, I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I am not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it – unless I’m thirsty.” - Lily Bollinger “A bottle of wine begs to be shared; I have never met a miserly wine lover.” - Clifton Fadiman

2) Empty Bottle
8)
3)

You also know that: •
There are 4 Empty Bottles in front of you.
•
There is always a Poisoned Bottle next to another Poisoned Bottle, but never on both sides.
•

•
There are only 2 Water Bottles. •
Empty Bottles are just like Poisoned Bottles, there is always one of the same kind next to it but never on both sides. • The Antidote is in between a Poisoned Bottle and an Empty Bottle. List the bottles, in order, so you can find your antidote.
