SPOILER
I read (on more than one agency page) lists where it says how many suspects and how many of them have an alibi for certain dificulties (ex 8 suspects, 3 withut alibis on hard). Therefore if I foudn 8 bad or no alibis I stopped askign others. This past case I had 3 that were no or ba d(at least I thought), I accused who I thought it was and I was wrong. The guilty party was someone other than the 3 I thought had no alibi. Obvisouly aince I was worng on my guess I couldhave been wrogn in my alibis but Ithink I have seen this before. So anyways, does anyone know if the X suspects, Y alibis equation stillworks?
I'm sure the end problem is my bad sleuthing but knwoing how many no alibis sure helps a lot.
thanks.

As far as I'm aware the number of people in a case with fake/no alibi is always the same; it's the number of real alibis (and by association the number of people on your suspect list) that are a little more random.
For instance, I have NEVER had a case where there have been anything but 7 fake/no alibis on Almost Impossible. You may have 10 or 11 people, 3 or 4 alibis, and 3 or 4 pieces of PE, but always 7 "suspects".

Of course, I could always be wrong since I really only do a handful of difficulties anymore...

I too have never had an AI with more than 7 suspects. However, I no longer complete cases other than favors, AIs for easys.

I have noticed on some of the easier levels of cases that the number of fake /no alibis varies

Yes, I've also had the same with AI's. Always EXACTLY 7 fake/no alibis in AI cases. I think that's a pretty steadfast rule.
Also, I think it's pretty safe to say that there are exactly 5 fake/no alibis in IH cases. 8-9 suspects, certainly, but only 5 fakes.

But now I read what SS wrote above and am a little nervous!

Yeah, usually it's the number of suspects with real alibis that can vary, however, on Intermediate and Hard the number of suspectes with fake/none of your business aliblis can also vary :)

i noticed it varies more with odd numbers than with even numbers... of total suspects, but i'm not saying that it doesn't vary in all cases...

Ive been playing with the "list" for over 2 years and never had a false accusation made by it.
As far as I know many ppl here (so probably many agencies) have my list. But its my old list!
The old version was X or X+1 suspects and Y alibis.
Now apperently there are some levels that you can have Y or Y+1 alibis. So you need to be carefull in those levels.
Another thing that could have happend is that sleuth gods didnt like the fact that I PMed my list to so many ppl and they have changed the rules :P
