Oh, I mean that the flowers are b i g g, and that the censor on this forum was too overzealous.
In an Italian town the following facts apply:
No citizens have the same number of hairs. Not a single citizen has exactly 40360 hairs. There are more citizens than there are hairs on the head of any single citizen.
What is the biggest possible amount of citizens this town can have (given that there's not an infinite amount of citizens?)

Hmm....we can look at the case where there are 40360 citizens.
The range of possible hair values would be 0 to 40359. Each one of these numbers can be distributed to exactly one citizen, so it still works.
I think it works for population values from 1 to 40360. Once we hit 40361 and above though, we only have access to n - 1 possible values for the amount of hair strands, forcing us to assign the same number of strands to two citizens.

CORRECT
The bus slows down with 5 km/h and is now only driving with 5 km/h.
The remaining time will be multiplied with 2. (On phone atm, can't do the exact math atm).
A boy at home is looking via a mirror to the clock. Then he leaves to school by bike, where he arrives after twenty minutes. At that moment the school clock shows a time that is two and a half hours later than the time the boy thought he saw on the clock at home.

At what time did the boy arrive at school?
He must have arrived at 1:25 PM, because 20 Minutes earlier it was 1:05 PM, which in the mirror would be shown as 10:55 AM, which is exactly 2 hours and 10 minutes earlier than when he actually looked at the clock from the mirror

Okay, as far as I'm aware, there are two possible riddles left, and we only need one to get the money, so I hope thtat later tonight, we can get the last one
I will try to make these riddles complete and later we can try to answer them

It was a good attempt, Yannik. I tried your solution and it looked correct to me. 🤔
