Grunt the Bull turns on the ice cold water and hoses down Yshania.

He takes great pleasure from this brutalisation. :D

Sorry to keep you in suspense all this time Yshania.

You are indeed correct. Although your diagrams were a little difficult to follow.

TOP FLOOR

Before: 24 men

1 - 5 - 1
5 - - - 5
1 - 5 - 1

After: 18 men

3 - 1 - 4
2 - - - 1
3 - 1 - 3

GROUND FLOOR

Before: 12 men

1 - 2 - 1
2 - - - 2
1 - 2 - 1

After: 9 men

1 - 1 - 1
1 - - - 1
1 - 2 - 1

If you look at the diagrams, you will see that the 'before' boxes total 36 men, and the 'after' boxes total 27 men.
A difference of 9 prisoners.

Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter. Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole. The threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction.

Score Check:

Xandax: 2 points
Yshania: 2 points

Hmmm... no one else interested??? :D

Question 5:

. S E N D
+ M O R E
+ G O L D
----------
M O N E Y

In this simple aritmetic problem each numeral has been coded to the alphabet and replaced by a letter. What is the answer in figures?

NOTE: The full stop before SEND is there for spacing purposes only. In other words, SEND + MORE + GOLD = MONEY.

Xandax: 2 points
Yshania: 2 points
YEAH!!!

@Veh - though I had different cell formation it did work! ;)

The truth is these type of puzzles do not come to me that easily, so though I may not always take the most obvious course - the logic works lol! :D

I am not sure about the next one though - I have tried the most logical route (to me!) but it does not work - could be points for Xandax...I will keep at it though... :p
