Detective Ixolite of the NYPD was investigating a murder at Chicago.
It was a difficult case, and Ixolite was completely stumped until he noticed a message sent to him by the killer cunningly hidden in a newspaper advertisement selling Car Licence Plates.
Detective Ixolite thought about it for a while, and when he had solved the puzzle, immediately arrested the guilty man.
Q1) How did Ixolite know the advert was a clue for him?
Q2) Solve the code and tell me who Ixolite arrested.
This is the newspaper advert (Car licence plates for sale) that Detective Ixolite saw.

1)The first bit is easy, as the first letter of each plate spells WHODUNNIT IX(A challenge to our Detective.)
2)The second bit is a little trickier, but I gave you the solution.If you read the last three letters in each plate from the bottom up and right to left you get ADVANCE EACH LETTER BY THE NUMBER SHOWN, so advance W by 5 to get B, H by 13 to get U and so on until you spell BUTLER DID IT.
This odd little problem in domestic arithmetic was sprung by the cook upon Mrs. Smith when she wanted to know what the grocer charged for such small eggs.
'I paid twelve cents for the lot,' replied Bridget, 'but I made him throw in two extra ones, because they were so little, and you see that made them cost one cent a dozen less than his first asking price!'
Tell now how many eggs she received for her twelve cents?
The grocer offered her sixteen eggs for twelve cents, which would be at the rate of nine cents a dozen.
She made him throw in two eggs extra, so that she got eighteen eggs for the twelve cents, which is at the rate of eight cents a dozen, or one cent a dozen less than the first price asked.

13 people came into a hotel with 12 rooms and each guest wanted his own room. The bellboy solved this problem.
He asked the thirteenth guest to wait a little with the first guest in room number 1. So in the first room there were two people. The bellboy took the third guest to room number 2, the fourth to number 3, ..., and the twelfth guest to room number 11. Then he returned to room number 1 and took the thirteenth guest to room number 12, still vacant.
How can everybody have his own room?
Of course, it is impossible. Into the second room should have gone the 2nd guest, because the 13th guest was waiting in room number 1
