During a day trip to a beach, four friends - Bruno, Michele, Anthony, and Stew - had an unexpected incident when one of them managed to steal a watch from a guest.
Can you identify the thief?
The thief turned out to be Anthony, who hid the watch inside a bucket.
Look at the picture carefully. Can you identify the murderer?
The boy on the right is the one. The piece of his shirt is with the deceased girl, as marked.
A man hijacks an aeroplane transporting both passengers(8 of them) and valuable cargo. After taking the cargo, the man demands nine parachutes, puts one of them on, and jumps, leaving the other eight behind. Why did he want eight?
If the officials thought he was jumping with a hostage, they would never risk giving him a faulty parachute.
A man who lives on the tenth floor takes the elevator down to the first floor every morning and goes to work. In the evening, when he comes back; on a rainy day, or if there are other people in the elevator, he goes to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment.
Can you explain why?
The man is a of short stature. He can't reach the upper elevator buttons, but can push is with his umbrella.
You are living at you place alone. You own a shed which has been locked. The lock that has been placed on the door can be closed without a key but need the key to be opened. You collected some old stuff and decided to keep it in the shed. After keeping the things, you locked it back. The next day, the police found a dead body inside the shed. As you are the only one living in your house, the police has nothing else to believe than you are the murderer. But you have not committed any crime.
There is a way the murder would have happened. Can you find that way and tell the police so you are not sentenced for the crime you did not commit?
The lock cant be closed without a key.
When you were keeping the things inside the shed, the murderer took the lock hanging on the door and replaced it with an identical one. You closed it as it did not require a key. When you were gone, the murderer opened the new lock with his key, planted the body inside, replaced the lock with the original one again and locked it.
During a secret mission, an agent gave the following code to the higher authorities
AIM DUE OAT TIE MOD
However the information is in one word only and the rest are fake. To assist the authorities in understanding better, he also sent them a clue – If I tell you any one character of the code, you can easily find out the number of vowels in the code word.
Can you find out the code word?
The code word is TIE.
Suppose if you are told a character of MOD, then you can’t identify if the number of vowels are one or two. Suppose that the character you are told of is M, then you can associate two words with it i.e. AIM (that has two vowels) and MOD (that has 1 vowel). You can say the same regarding other characters O and D as well.
Thus all those words that comprises of M, O or D in them can be ruled out. This points us to TIE. If you check with the characters of TIE, you will agree that it stands true for each of the characters of the word. Thus this is the code word.
Alpha, Beta and Gamma are in a desert. Alpha doesn't like Gamma and hence decides to murder him. He poisons the water supply of Gamma. Since it is the desert area, Gamma must drink or he will die of thirst.
Beta does not know of the actions of Alpha and also decides to murder Gamma. To succeed in his ill motives, he removes the water supply of Gamma so he dies of thirst.
Gamma dies due to thirst. Who murdered Gamma?
The answer to this question might sound more of a philosophical one.
It is Beta whose action led to Gamma's death directly. It was the scarcity of water that led to his death ultimately. It may be the circumstances prevailing his demise and not a specific person who killed him.
A dead body is found at the bottom of a multistory building. Seeing the position of the body it is evident that the person jumped off from one of the floor for attempting suicide.
A homicide detective is called to look after the case. He goes to the first floor and walks in the room facing the direction in which the body was found. He opens the window in that direction and flips a coin towards the floor.
The he goes to the second floor and repeats the process. He keeps on doing it till the last floor. Then, when he climbs down, he tells the team that it is a murder not suicide.
How did he come to know that it was a murder?
At each floor, he did the same task of opening the window and flipping the coin. If it was a suicide, then at least the window at any of the floor must have been left open by the person who jumped off. The present situation only suggests that someone pushed him off and then closed the window again.
A person is found murdered in his office. When the crime scene is investigated, the police finds out that there is a calendar on which the victim has written a few numbers with his blood. The numbers are 4, 11, 11 and 4.
There are four suspects of the murder, Paul, Nina, Anna and Lee. Can you find out who is the murderer?
Anna
The numbers written on the calendar actually represents the months in the calendar whose initial letter represents the name of the killer.
4 – April (A)
11 – November (N)
11 – November (N)
4 – April (A)
Thus the killer is Anna.
A girl was standing near the window thinking something. All of a sudden she decides something and throws something out of the window. She dies very soon after throwing it. She was perfectly healthy and had no disease or allergy. No one killed her and she did not commit suicide.
Can you think of any possible explanation that is logical as well for what happened there?
The girl decided to throw a boomerang out of her window. The boomerang went to the maximum distance it could and then returned back with high velocity. It struck her head and due to the internal injury, she died on the spot.
