I don't want to the answer... that won't help me. I want a long post explaining how the hell it's possible. I'm telling you it isn't possible with the hints given.

Yeah that's the problem with these kind of riddles.
The way the sentences are structured will mess you up. And you have to make assumptions. Sometimes you assume wrong and it dorks up your answer.
I always thought the pitcher and the catcher were concidered infielders but in this case they separate them from the other infielders.

I tried putting everthing into a table but I kept getting lost so I came up with the chart idea.

bill - center fielder
mike - right fielder
sam - left fielder
ed - shortstop
andy - third baseman
jerry - second baseman
paul - first baseman
allen - catcher
harry - pitcher

Yes, this riddle was hard. So, are you ready for another one? Good Luck!!!

EPISODE IX

A wealthy man named Richard Ellis had been counting his money. When he finished, he accidentally left a $100.00 bill on his desk. But when he returned for it a short while later, it was gone. Only two other persons could have seen the bill. One was the maid; the other was the butler. The maid told him that she had hidden it for safekeeping under a green book that was on the desk. But when they looked the bill was not there. The butler said he had found the bill where the maid had left it. He had placed it inside the book, where he thought there was less chance that somebody would find it. He had written down the page numbers so that he would not forget them. The bill was between pages 35 and 36, he said. But when they looked, there was no money in the book. After Mr. Ellis had talked to the maid and the butler, he called the police. He was sure he knew who had taken the money.

Who was it, and how did he know?

The Answer: The Butler did it!! Page 36 is on the
back of page 35 so the butler couldn't have put the
bill between the two pages.

Dang...I guess that riddle was too easy. Congrats to veg for being the first to solve the riddle and Krill123 for being the second. Anyway, here's another one. I wouldn't really call this a riddle, but hope you know the Bible. Good luck!!!

EPISODE X

There are 16 books of the Bible in the following paragraph...can you find them?

I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu; kept people looking so hard for facts and for others it was a revelation. Some were in a jam especially since the names of the books were not capitalized, but the truth finally struck home to
numbers of readers. To others, it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now for there really are sixteen names of the books in the Bible in this story

For those who did not see the 16 books of the Bible, here they are:

Okay, so far I've posted 10 riddles. The riddles started with a few sentences to becoming a whole paragraph. Some where easy and some where...hard? Now, the riddles will become harder to solve. I want to stomp someone. Hopefully I could do that. I had people thinking in Episode VIII. Are you guys ready? Here we go...

EPISODE XI

A legendary king possessed a huge amount of gold. He hid this treasure carefully: in a building consisting of a number of rooms. In each room there were a number of boxes; this number was equal to the number of rooms in the building. Each box contained a number of golden coins that equaled the number of boxes per room. When the king died, one box was given to the royal barber. The remainder of the coins had to be divided fairly between his six sons.

Is a fair division possible in all situations? Good Luck!!!

yes, a fair division in all situations is possibe, each son will get nothing
