Hi,
I found the ANSWERS to all the 4 Puzzles. Here it is:
ANSWER to the first Puzzle:
He was a lighthouse keeper who switched off the lighthouse.
Electric illumination in the form of carbon arc lamps was first employed at lighthouses at an early date, even while oil lamps were still in vogue. The first of these was at Dungeness, England, in 1862, followed by a number of others.
In the beginning of the 20th century Swedish inventor Gustav Dahlén invented the AGA Lighthouse which effectively made lighthouse keepers obsolete. However, for many years lighthouses still had keepers, partly because lighthouse keepers could serve as a rescue service if necessary. Improvements in maritime navigation and safety such as GPS have led to the phasing out of non-automated lighthouses, with the last keepers removed in the 1990s. Today there are a few keeper-run lighthouses left in existence; the vast majority, however, have been fully automated.
Puzzle 2:
Take the filled up glass from the middle and pour it into the empty glass which is placed 5th from left
Puzzle: 3
The last person takes the basket along with the egg
Puzzle: 4
There was only one man and the rest were women.
These answers might not be in order to the Puzzle numbered....but you know whick answer is to which puzzle.
Good ones though
