1)half-cigar
2)dry patch underneath the red roadster across the street!
3)Elbridge Hurlbert --might be the suspect
4)six fifteen by my roadster's dashboard clock
Elbridge Hurlburt was probably already there...coz Redstone only sees him getting out of the car...which he might have pretended to do seeing someone coming...
and the half-cigar was under his roadster...Redstone's ford is after the roadster and cranston's coupe follows...
+If there was space in front of the roadster ...then Hulburt probably was already leaving and seeing another car...stopped and pretended to get out thus leaving space in front for Hulce's car...

my answer :HURLBERT

:D
are either of those right?

Oh darn, you're right... but think about it this way, this thing is something everyone fears(always, woah, commercial flashback). I'm sure some daredevils aren't afraid of dying and therefore poison.

It's Hulce. If it's dry under his car and the other two needed an umbrella when they got out, it should have been raining/just stopped raining when he arrived, according to his story. Yet it's dry beneath his car...

EDIT: Hmm...Hulce says he's parked in front but Hulbert says he owns a roadster. Hard to say which...I may be wrong, but I assumed that since Hulce says he parked in front, then the "roadster across the street" would belong to him.

No new Shadow mystery for a little while. I'll have one coming up Dec. 9 at http://www.spaceports.com/~deshadow click on two-minute mysteries. The solution is always at the end so don't read too fast if you want to try to solve it first. Pen. :)

nope, it's not time... time can be taken "it takes time" "he took time" I know it's not physically taking time but bleh, only way to cover the time answer, you'll eventually get it.

Hmm...I would say "risk," but it's nowhere near true that people never take one.

It's not risk either.

Hmmm. Solitude. People live in it, sometimes long for it, but don't really take it, and everyone really fears being alone.

I must bow to popular demand. But I need time to write more stories, since I'm almost out of stored material!
I think we have established by now that The Shadow and Lamont Cranston are often the same person....

Four Men At a Table by Jonathan Blade

Four men sat around a rectangular table at the exclusive Cobalt Club enjoying after dinner cigars and port. The arrangement was like this:

;) ;) B

;) C----D

;) ;) A

Lamont Cranston sits at the foot of the table, in the space marked “A”.
Facing him is the banker.
The man on Cranston’s left is NOT the stockbroker.
Mr. Archer wears a grey suit.
The jeweler is Mr. Taylor.
The man on Cranston’s right is Mr. Thurgood.
The man on Mr. Archer’s left wears a blue suit.
The Shadow is in his customary black tuxedo.
The other man at the table is wearing a green suit.
The banker’s name does NOT start with “T”.

USING THESE CLUES SAY WHO SITS WHERE, WEARS WHAT COLOR SUIT, AND DOES WHICH JOB.

Enjoy! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Assuming that "Shadow" qualifies as an occupation...

A. Cranston--Black--Shadow
B. Archer--Grey--Banker
c. Taylor--Green--Jeweler
D. Thurgood--Blue--Stockbroker

Did I get it??

It's not solitude either. It is feared by most, but probably not by everyone.
I just did this one and here's what I got:

A-Cranston-Black Suit-Shadow
B-Mr.Archer-Grey Suit-Banker
C-Mr. Taylor-Green Suit-Jewler
D-Mr.Thurgood-Blue Suit-Stock Broker

The same thing, so you probably did get it.

Yes, Gentlemen, you both got that one, one of my less complicated one's but I was in a hurry! Still, it wasn't bad and took some thinking, so here's some nanners: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

D-man, I've given you puzzle some serious thought: One thing everyone fears is the unknown. No one will willingly take it (if you even CAN take it), but people do long for it, and some say they get a glimpse of it, others scoff and say that's impossible.
