It’s the first day of the school year and a young girl was found murdered. There were only four possible people who might have done it.
Police interrogated the four, who happened to all be teachers, and asked them what they were doing in the morning at 8:00 am, which was the estimated Time of Death.
The four gave the following “alibis”:
1. Wayne: I was reading the newspaper.
2. Terry: I was checking chemistry papers.
3. Bridge: I had locked myself in my room, brokenhearted, as my wife had left me.
4. Cole: I was dropping my wife off at her office.
Who is the killer?
Two girls ate dinner together.
They both ordered iced tea.
One girl drank hers very quickly and had finished five in the time it took the other to drink just one.
The girl who drank just one died while the other survived.
All of the glasses had poison in them.
How did the girl who drank the most survive?
Mystery #2
A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.
When the police came in, they immediately pressed the play button on the cassette.
He said, “I have nothing else to live for. I can’t go on,” then the sound of a gunshot.
After listening to the cassette tape, the police knew that it was not a suicide, but a homicide.
How did they know?
