Prove your logic

Logic puzzle

Tip for question one take out the word 'don't' in the 3rd and 4th lines, it makes more sense that way.

I did this last night.  It took me about 4 tries before I could get all the way done.

Yes please PM me.  I am sure there is a rational pattern but not one of the ones I have come up with.

Even though I have been tested at a pretty decent level and I work in logic for a living, these types of puzzles always stump me.

My brain just doesn't work the way needed to accomplish these.  I did OK at weffriddles, but it seemed to take a long time and I needed hints more frequently than not.  Eventually I gave up on those.

Here, I can't get past Q1.

Q1 I got because it is a riddle I have heard before (for a hint google line 3 without the word 'don't').  The one I was stuck on was one I was making too complicated.

There's another question with a lot of numbers, but I'll tell you finding the answer doesn't use math.

I had no problem with Q1 Q2 on the other hand took me a few tries.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Nevermind I got to level 14.  I give up though, my brains hurt.  How many levels are there?
