The next installment in our series of featured mysteries, "The Science of Murder" will be launched next Sunday evening (July 11th).

We'll shoot for 6pm, Mountain Time, but that's subject to change.

There will be another contest involving this featured mystery, but we'll expand a little on the method for picking the winner. With previous featured mystery launches, the winner hs just been the first player to successfully solve it, without first getting a false accusation. This time, there will be a hint hidden somewhere in the text that will aid you in solving the crime. That hint won't be mentioned in the conclusion. The winner will be the first person who not only finishes the mystery successfully, but also sends to me an explanation of the hidden clue.

Ok, Ben. Here goes the typos:

[When clicking on Madame Gris's link] "Madame Gris lived in a TENAMENT near the river..."
-Spelling: tenEment

[Fortune Teller's Hint] "Yeah I know the fellow....Nobody knows much where the money CAM from...that money wasn't signed over to Geoffrey and his partner, but to him AS his sister."
-Spelling: camE
-Spelling: aND

[Search the Crime Scene]
"The kitchen also seemed to be barely lived in...a loaf of slightly MOLDED bread.."
-Spelling: moUlded

[Cutscene of Madame Gris's weird shop]

"Hesitantly, I stepped through the door..All of the machines had bits of FATHER and animal fur.."
-Spelling: fEather

"I asked her several questions about the shop, and what she did there. She seemed ___ by that, and was evasive, telling me ___ bought fear and sold hope. "
-Missing Words? Second missing word "she"?
(Incidentally, I liked that whole extract, especially when it led up to the part about Geoffrey "being in the market for neither". Very witty.)

Ok that's all for now. What about the word "revellers"? I thought I saw it spelt with 1 "L" less.

Any word on the expected date for the next featured mystery?

sry d.l. williams, but the spelling of molded is right. you've got the wrong definition.

Jul-20-2004 15:22

Is moulded the british spelling?

Jul-20-2004 15:26

I believe revelers is spelled with one L, not two. Other than that, I fixed the offending typos. Thanks, DL.

When you ask Monica about the money, she says "...They intended to use the research ^ create..."
