No, there are other masks like it in the world.

If, without his mask, Johnny would not be afraid of him?
Is the man in the mask a doctor?
Is the man in the mask a dentist?
Is the man in the mask actually helping Johnny (but Johnny thinks otherwise)?

If the man would not have been wearing his mask, then no, Johnny wouldn't have been afraid of him.
Quote:

No to both.
Quote:

Hmm... kind of. It's difficult to elaborate upon without giving it away.

Let me explain the answer for you,TheDeath
They play a baseball game. The base-runner (Jonny) sees the catcher (man in mask) waiting at home (plate) and so decides to stay at third base to avoid being tagged out.
Here is a new riddle...
The compares me often with glass,but i am more like light,were i am gone,there stays only hate, but you shouldn't find me.

@Corribus
I have already presented that your riddle in the Math thread, but with 3 different colors, not 2 and 100 men as I remember. You could try to generalize this riddle when amount of colors 4 or 5 or ... 
@Protos
Just to return to your riddle.
I'm not sure if I understood your riddle right.
1)I suppose the leader with green eyes knows that his eyes are green
2)First day leader will say: "I see..." If nobody leaves this island on first day evening then the situation will repeat on the second day, so similarly the second day nobody leaves and situation will repeat to infinity. Hence somebody must leave on the first day, so somebody will know the color of his eyes on the first day. I don't understand how somebody can find out the color of his eyes just after the statement "I see...". Maybe there is a gap in my thinking, any other ideas?

1) Nope, he dont know
2) Situation wont stay described way until infinity. On some day someone will leave island for sure. And there is only one, unique solution.

I'm confused.
If the leader doesn't know the color of his eyes, then how he knows that he must say something?

Because that is the rule. He gathers all them together every day at noon and if he see someone with blue eyes, he will spoke. This thing has nothing to do with his own eyes.

Let us go aside a bit.
Let it be 1 man with blue eyes and 199 with brown. It is obvious he will leave the island on the first day. Those with brown can't guess on 1st day.
Let it be 2 men with blue and 198 with brown. After "I see.." both 2 will think - here is that guy has blue eyes and nobody will leave on the 1st day. But on the 2nd day each of them will leave because they both will think - If I have brown then he should have left yesterday. Those with brown can't guess on the 2nd day.
Let it be 3 men with blue and 197 with brown. On the 3rd day each of blue-eyed will think - If I have brown then there 2 blue-eyed and 198 brown-eyed and then 2 blue-eyed should have used upper rule and leave on day 2. So all 3 will leave on day 3.
...
Similar thinking, which could be interpreted to mathematical induction.
...
Conclusion: On day 100 all 100 blue-eyed will leave this island.

@Carcity
Not to lose your topological riddle. I think it's impossible if we are talking about 2-dimensional space, so pipes couldn't be one under another. Are you sure you have a right solution and it's not a joke-riddle?

@Death you're supposed to draw lines (with how many curves as you like) from each square to each one of the three circles, so 1 must be connected to all three circles, same for two and three.

Solution 1, enemy of enemy is a friend, house 1 and 3 gang up on house two and steal his resources, give each other dirty looks, and enjoy the extra space between them which is the now disappeared house 2 owner. .
Solution 2 one of the houses use electric heating and stove.
Solution 3 Tesla coil for at least one of the homes.
Soooo, I did this and had fun but no matter how I did it I could not get gas to all 3 homes without sacrificing water or electricity to one of them. If this is supposed to be done without the 3 resource "pipes" crossing each other then can you please show me, thanks.

I got a riddle for you.
on the picture are three squares, each square symbolises a house, each house needs to be connected to water, gas and Electricity. But the people in the houses hate each other, so they don't want their pipes to cross each other.
