The Sphinx used to ask this riddle: "What has four feet, two feet and three feet, but one voice?" Those who could not solve the riddle were strangled by her. Finally Oedipus came along and he was the only who could answer it. After hearing the correct answer, the Sphinx threw herself headlong down the rock.

Q: A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:
The Wife said she was sleeping.
The Cook was cooking breakfast.
The Gardener was picking vegetables.
The Maid was getting the mail.
The Butler was cleaning the closet.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

Dave: MAN

Neo: MAID (no mail on Sunday)

Correct, it is man, is it that easy or shall I explain it?

Old Mr. Tidy was found dead in his study by Mr. Fiend. Mr. Fiend recounted his dismal discovery to the police. "I was walking by Mr. Tidy`s house when I thought I would just pop in for a visit. I noticed his study light was on and I decided to peek in from the outside to see if he was in there. There was frost on the window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside. That is when I saw his body. So I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul play. I called the police immediately afterward." The officer immediately arrested Mr. Fiend for the murder of Mr. Tidy. How did he know Mr. Fiend was lying?

because if your just droping by you wouldn't pekk in the window

Arc_Angel · 8th June 2001, 06:22 AM

because they found his fingerprints on the murder weapon?

I agree with asgard, if he was visiting he wouldn't peek in through a window, he would knock on the door, when he saw him, he was probably alive, but I bet it is something more simple than that!!

Dave · 8th June 2001, 06:32 AM

Because there had been an electicity supply power cut all evening?

Because the frost didn't form until the morning?

Because the phone wasn't working?

Arc_Angel · 8th June 2001, 06:39 AM

Because he lived in a flat?

Neo · 8th June 2001, 10:05 AM

Frost forms on the inside of the window, not the outside. So Mr. Fiend could not have wiped it off to discover Mr. Tidy`s body.

If you cross out all unnecessary letters in the following string of letters, a logical sentence will remain. Can you see it?
