Grunt the Bull turns on the ice cold water and hoses down Yshania.
He takes great pleasure from this brutalisation.

And even greater pleasure when someone hoses him down

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.

Xandax: 2 points

Hmmm... no one else interested???
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.

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!
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...
