Look the Daily Pub Thread has its very own sticky!!! Now I won't have to look for it anymore :)

Seeing as I know very little about French Literature, I will guess true for all in the hopes that I'll get around 50% correct :P

Woo hoo stuck to the top. So it should, this must nearly be the most posted to thread on the site :) Having gone back and checked some of my answers, seems I don't know jack about French literature either! :s

Sorry, It seems that something went wrong with my Sleuth, I lost the page and obviously posted two or three times. My apologies!

Emma.. sheesh I was way off the mark there. Chopin :) Well done brain you tried to tell me.

Is it okay if I do it? Going on vacation as of tomorrow afternoon so I'll be out of your hairs for the next couple of weeks ;)

Oki, I'm going for it, hope it's okay with you Emerald :)

Summer time is murder mystery time so inspired by D_AZN_Z's riddle the other day, I thought we could warm up with these - they're are usually meant to be played in "20 questions to the professor"-style where the "professor" can only answer “yes” or “no”, but you're all detectives so surely you can figure out what happened on your own ;)


Murder(?) Most Foul
1) A man that lives in a special house turns out the light and goes to sleep one night. The next morning while reading the newspaper he is shocked to find out that tons of people died that night because of him. How did the people die?
2) A dead woman is found lying on the ground with a backpack; there are no footprints around for miles.
3) A man is found shot to death in the front seat of his car. A gun lies out of his reach in the back seat. All the windows are closed and the doors are locked; there are no bullet holes anywhere in the car.
4) A woman came home with a bag of groceries, got the mail, and walked into the house. On the way to the kitchen, she went through the living room and looked at her husband, who had blown his brains out. She then continued to the kitchen, put away the groceries, and made dinner.
5) A married couple goes to a movie. During the movie the husband strangles the wife. He is able to get her body home without attracting attention.
6) A man is in a shack in the middle of the desert. He commited suicidie by hanging himself and was found hanging on the tall rafters. There was a large truck beneath him but not tall enough so he could reach the rafters. How did the man reach the rafters?
7) Romeo and Juliet have been found dead in a pool of water, naked, in an empty room, the door is locked and the window is open. So what happened?
8) A man is born in 1972 and dies in 1952 at the age of 25.
