Shot in The Dark
The dark sunglasses filter out unnatural light (or perhaps they are some type of special goggles) that allows you to discern whether or not the items are authentic or fake? Maybe like the glasses that a gemologist wears to see imperfections in stones, etc.? I think I recall seeing a movie where the lights were turned out and a special light was turned on (much like an x-ray), and the glasses allowed the wearer to see particular items like strands of fiber in a painting, fingerprints, dyes, etc. Wait a minute, maybe that was CSI.

2 m * 2 m * 2m = 8 cubic meters
4 m * 4 m * 4 m = 64 cubic meters
64 / 8 = 8
1 hour * 8 = 8 hours
I think you have to calculate Volume (see above). Since the hole would be 8 times as large, it would take 8 times as long. Therefore, 8 hours.

Thier time?
Just kidding, you were stealing the wheelbarrow!
(they check inside it, not the actual thing, its a construction site, doesn't need much explaining)
BTW, I don't mean to be picky, but I've got 3 points so far, not 2.

Finally I'm in the right place at the right time!
Mario was wearing mittens, so his fingerprints couldn't have been on the rock if Luigi's story were true.

Very nice one TRB....
You were playing monopoly, and you had just got out of jail, and you have only a few notes, and then you landed on someone elses property (park lane) which has the most expensive rent, and you obviously didnt have enough to pay it making you bankrupt.
The broken car is your monopoly piece, the little metal car.

No idea.
I've thought about it and thought about it, but still stuck. I don't know enough about cholesterol I think.
Damn, I was on a roll too!

Now u shouldnīt, coz your friend is a smartass..
He will surely touch the bowl and the glass when drinking your scotch. Then he will pay u the lost bet (1$). Iīm pretty sure a scotch costs more than 1$, so he will have the much better deal...
