There were broken glass shards on the ground and Gloria had blood on her mouth. However, no arrests were made. Why was this? Because Gloria is actually a vampire and flew away. (No) |

Sheesh,no one uses this? This is great! Actually,looking at an old problem of mine,I realised that I had made a mistake,and now I made a riddle out of it! Okay,so the sum I took was 'If x=y/z,y=z/x,and z=x/y,find (x+y+z)^2.' But then after solving it,I realised that there was more than one answer! Then I saw something interesting. If I took all the answers and made a number out of it (with one answer as the units digit,another as the tens digit,and so on and so forth), that number was the product of my lucky numbers (which are also mainly lucky because they have the same number of factors)! So,if the sum of my lucky numbers is twice the sum of the answers I got,find my lucky numbers! This one is very tricky,but all the same,I would like to see the way you got the answer if you get it. Looking up my lucky numbers is cheating,btw. I'll give away the answer in a week if no one got it. |

Since I have no time to look at the rest of the thread, I'll just hope no one already did mine. Here we go! There is currently a line-up for a stabbing of a victim. Three suspects were apprehended. The first suspect has a large amount of blood on the front of his shirt. The second suspect has a small slotch of blood on his right shoe. The third suspect's prints were found on the knife in question. They each gave a statement, as follows: 1st Suspect: "I had nothing to do with the murder, I wandered onto the scene and then blood sprayed on me." 2nd Suspect: "I was an unwitting witness to a stabbing. I was walking by and blood splattered on my shoe as a man was bent over a body. I fled quickly." 3rd Suspect: "I have no idea what happened, I was in a daze the whole time." Keep in mind that the suspects may be lying, not necessarily only one. Your task is to determine who the murderer is. You are free to ask me any questions you might have to clear up the circumstances surrounding the crime and when you find the answer, you must tell me who the killer is and how the events of the murder occurred. Have fun! Update: Also, there is no set time limit on this, I'll give the answer once someone determines who the correct culprit and what the correct series of events are, however long it takes. I might PM you, though, if I felt in the mood to release a little suspense. Update: 3rd Suspect: "Before the murder, I was just walking around and when I say the body, I just...froze. I don't remember what else happened ." The crime happened in the middle of the street, in the dead of night. The body was found face-down, with a stab wound in the chest. The knife was found in the third suspect 's right hand. The victim is the grandfather of the suspects, they are all three brothers. First Suspect: "Asides from my brother, who was walking with me, and my former grandfather, not a soul, besides the literal one going to heaven." Second Suspect: "I saw his back so, no, I did not." *All pockets are completely empty. All three brothers were excluded from the grandfather's will. The will left a diversified amount of money to every family member but the three brothers. Second Suspect: "Not a speck" |

3rd suspect,ask him to elaborate what happened before the crime and after. Since he was actually in a daze the whole murder. |

Post subject: | Re: Riddles, puzzles and other general tricks |
Did the crime happen at the third suspect's house/workplace? That would explain the prints if he isn't the culprit. |

Tell me about the body, where was it stabbed and where was the knife found. |

Post subject: | Re: Riddles, puzzles and other general tricks |
Also,is there any connection between the victim and the suspects in any way? |

Man third suspect needs to be the star of an ace attorney case if he wants to get off the hook with this much evidence. |

Ask the first suspect: "When you arrived at the scene, was there anyone else at the scene?" Ask the second suspect: "Did you get a good look at the man?" |

First Suspect: "Asides from my brother, who was walking with me, and my former grandfather, not a soul, besides the literal one going to heaven." Second Suspect: "I saw his back so, no, I did not." Edit: Since I didn't actually say if this is legal or not, anyone solving this crime is allowed to discuss it and formulate an answer that way, there's nothing against it. It's really your choice, though, if you want to partner up or do it solo. |

Hmmm.... Ask the suspects to empty their pockets so we'll know what they're carrying when they were apprehended. |

*All pockets are completely empty. *Suspect 1, 2, and 3 will remember that* |

Post subject: | Re: Riddles, puzzles and other general tricks |
Did the suspects have some sort of grudge against the victim? |

*After some investigation....and getting over the shock of SouthernCorn's new avatar...* All three brothers were excluded from the grandfather's will. |

Post subject: | Re: Riddles, puzzles and other general tricks |
I think we need a main post that compiles all the info on this case. Ask the second suspect if having seen the back did he see any blood on the man? |

I'll make a main post when I get home from school. I'll add a Professor Layton-style hint box, too. But, for now... Second Suspect:"Not a speck" |

The original post with the puzzle has been updated and, as promised, I wrote the Professor Layton-style hints. But remember, you're just cheating yourself out of solving it if you read all of them. Spoiler: Hint 1 Spoiler: Hint 2 Spoiler: Hint 3 Spoiler: Mega Hint (Do NOT read if you want to solve this without a HUGE hint) Note: I made this a separate post for space issues. Sorry if this counts as a double post, admins and mods alike. |

Speaking of murder, a friend of mine posted this puzzle on a social media website. The puzzle goes like this: A man was murdered in his study. The suspects are Gerry, Julie, Jason, Nick, and Sophie. The numbers 6, 4, 9, 10, and 11 are written on the calendar with blood. WHO IS THE KILLER? |

Just a quick question, is everything we need to solve it already in the original problem or do we need to find out additional information? |
