My brother and the Credit Card?
My younger brother recently got into a pile of deep horse manure after my parents found out that he spent 100 dollars on ingame currency for a game.
My parents are trying this and that, but my mom doesn't want to report the purchases as fraudulent in fear of it getting on my brother's permanent record.
My brother is a minor, not even in middle school yet, and I wondered if this was true. Does it go on his permanent record or some kind of record? Will he even get charged with anything? If he is, does this affect anything at all?

There are 6 groups of people. Each group is given 7 ballots. On each ballot, there are two choices, X and Y.
There are 7 rounds. During each round, the 6 groups give their ballot to a moderator. Groups are unable to see or know of each others votes, but will be able to freely talk throughout this game.
Points are given as follows:
6Y(0X) Everyone +5
5Y(1X) Y's -2, X's +10
4Y(2X) Y's -4, X's +8
3Y(3X) Y's -6, X's +6
2Y(4X) Y's -8, X's +4
1Y(5X) Y's -10, X's +2
0Y(6X) Everyone -5
Each round has a multiplier. It is as follows: x1, x1, x2, x1,x3,x1, x10.
If everyone ties, everyone gets 6 dollars.
If there is a tie of 5,4,3, or 2 people, the winning groups get 7 dollars.
If there is one winner, everyone in the group gets 8 dollars.
Anyone without a positive score is not a winner.
Which group voted what is not revealed until the end of the game.
Your group mates have appointed you as group leader. What strategy would you use to have the highest chance of winning?
(This is partially game theory and partially psychology. I have an answer, but want to see what others think.)

Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
The first of all letters, the first of all figures,
Take up their stations in between.
Join all together and you will bring,
Before you the name of an eminent king.
Who is the king?

In front of a bar, there was a policeman waiting to catch drunk drivers.
The first thing he noticed was the first person to come out of the bar. He fell to the ground 6 times as he staggered to the parking lot. He slowly went into seven different cars and tried to start them until he finally found his. Then, he just sat there for a moment staring outside and pointing at everything as everyone else in the bar got into their cars and left.
As they were leaving, the drunk turned his headlights on and off and put on his windshield wipers. (Even though it wasn't raining) Eventually, the guy drove out slowly as he nearly crashed into some curbs.
Of course, the policeman caught him immediately. He gave the driver a DUI test, and surprisingly, there were no traces of alchohol!
The police man said,"Sir, come down to the station, my tester is broken."
"Don't worry!" the drunk reassured the policeman," It's not broken. Today, I'm the designated decoy!"
