Then post the answers. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Alrighty... I'm sure you should get the second one... I just told you a clue that should definetly help. Anyhow... since I got Robin right, but the other 2 wrong... it's obvious that I just have to reverse the other two. So the first one's Toby, motive being money. The second one's Robin. The murderer's Nat, his alibi being he was in the library when it happened... even though he set up the knife(for some reason I thought alibi meant ally or something which is why I said the Aunt herself in the last one, my bad). He wasn't finished with the wiring so I would assume if he set it up, he'd set it up so the knife would fall over due to electricity and I would also assume, perhaps, magnetism. So an electromagnet? when she turns of the light, the electromagnet would turn off causing the knife it was holding to fall.

Good. Good. Here's how it went in my logic.

Only the lawyer could provide motive by doing his job, i.e., making out the will.
The nurse was the only person present when the dagger killed her Aunt.
The repairman is the murderer. While redoing the wiring, he set up an Electro-magnet wired to his Aunt’s light switch. Then when he got a chance, he planted the knife on the ceiling. The steel stuck to the magnet as long as the light was on. When the nurse cut the light off the weighted dagger fell and killed her Aunt. Times was safely in the Library, and could prove it.


Solution to hidden puzzles:Name of the victim is the first clue, if you are a student of crime. You see, Martha Tabram, age 39, was found murdered in George Yard, off Whitechapel High Street, London, August 4, 1888, stabbed 39 TIMES, (one actually through the brestbone), apparently a victim of Jack the Ripper.

Secondly, TIMES is an anagram for IT’S ME. You really should have caught that! :D :lol: :nod:

I'm going to take a rest on my little puzzles, and maybe allow someone else to get their oars in the water. I'm still working on your two though. Like I said, two days. :wave:

I dunno. That's why I was going to take a rest on my puzzles, but if no one else posts in a week, I'll fire some more. Hey, just post the answers to these two. I've been sick and then my brother scared us yesterday by being rushed to a heart hospital out-of-state and I got back very late. He's fine, false alarm, thank God. We'll try some new ones, I can't concentrate on these... :eek2: :nod:

Wow... scary. He has heart problems? bleh, nvm. The answers to the 2:

1. Mailbox(Different designs, shall always be a mailbox, gives and receives, opens and closes)

2. Thoughtful. Thoughtful by thinking(fist under his head, looking out the window), did something kind and thoughtful towards his brother

Thought? without it nothing really would exist, everything would be still. A thought is just there for a moment and passes. Or perhaps Nothing since nothing can ever really be "precious" just depends on the point of view.

nope :lol:
maybe if you knew what it was an advert for it would help? do you want to know??
