That first one was the hardest one I had Moon! I thought that one was going to take a while to get!

The second one I'm not 100% sure of. Tell me how you came up with your answer.

The third one -nope.

---

 I had to think about the first one for a bit, but then for some reason it just clicked.

Here's an explanation for the second and another guess at the third:

Spoiler

For the second one, you have 116 bills (subtract the 2 numbers then add 1) and multiply by 5 since each is worth $5.

Another shot at the third one:  Is it 9?

Oh, and I missed the 4th one:  WITNESS

Recently, detectives discovered the proceeds of a robbery. It was a small bundle of $5 notes numbered from 759385 to 759500. How much money was in the bundle?

---

Spoiler

 $685

edited because I didn't read the original numbers correctly.

 I thought the second number was 759400.  That was way off.  Is it closer now?

---

 technically you're closer but if I was your partner I'd be happier with the other number   How are you getting your answer?  I can tell you how I arrived at my answer.

---

 I multiplied the number I came up with by 5, but evidently Mensa will not be sending me an application any time in the foreseeable future.

What about this?

Spoiler

$580

The Letters below make a series. Figure out the logic and find out what comes next.

you're good! 

The third one I think you'll get if you think a little bit more.  If you got the first one, the third one will come to you.

DQM, could you refresh us on how to do spoiler tags? I think I know the answer to the five dollar robbery.

---

You have to be in advanced editor.  I can't do it from my nook.

 The way I do it is I type my answer and then highlight it.

Spoiler

Then go up to the speech bubble that says SPOIL and click it.

 LMAO!  I want to rob banks with you.  As long as I'm in charge of splitting the take.  You get $40 and I get ..... the rest!

I'm laughing at you in the friendliest way possible.  I got that one wrong too and it was MY question.  So you can laugh at me too.

 I'm going to admit that I peeked at Farmer's answer.   It's always easier to figure out the pattern after you know the answer but here it is

Spoiler

64

1^3=1
2^3=8
3^3=27
4^3=64  Not sure how long it would have taken me to figure it out.
5^3=125
6^3=216

There's nothing in your spoiler, dqm, but since you peeked I'm assuming you got the right answer! 

---

 That's odd, I can see it. 

yeah I'm a cheater.  I peeked.  But it was an accident.  However after seeing the answer I showed how to arrive at it in an attempt to mitigate my lameness.

 Ok, apparently I sometimes have issues seeing spoilers. Not all the time though - weird.  I hit the 'printer friendly' view and could see what you wrote. Yep- that's it! 

What 3 letters can you put on the end of these, to make five 6 letter words?

JUM?
DAM?
CAM?
BUM?
HAM?
