Incident at school

On September 1, the lifeless body of a singing teacher was found in a school classroom. Police have identified suspects. This is a gardener, mathematician, gymnast and teacher of labor training. They all testified and explained where they were at the time of the incident.

  1. The gardener cut the bushes.
  2. The math teacher conducted the final test work.
  3. The athlete played football with his students.
  4. The teacher spent the whole day in his office.


If you look at the photo, it becomes clear that the physical assistant is confused, the mathematician smiles tightly, the laborer crossed his arms (something he hides). The gardener is armed and dangerous. Everyone looks suspicious. Who's the criminal? Police immediately arrested the suspect. Did you know who he was?

The robbers kidnapped farmer Joe and locked him in a room with an earth floor. There is a window in the thick stone walls, but it is too high. You can't get to him.





There's nothing in prison but an old shovel. The building is also very hot and there is no water or food. Therefore, a man has no more than 2 days to escape. How can Joe get out of jail if the scorching option doesn’t work, as it will take much more than 2 days?

Mrs Bishop's jewellery Mrs Bishop has reported the jewellery missing to the police. Arriving at the scene, detectives saw that the house was a mess, the furniture was turned over, and the carpet was in dirty tracks. But there's no sign of a break-in on the door.





One of the windows was broken. Mrs Bishop was soon arrested on fraud charges. What led the detectives to this idea?

Blue and Red Maniac kidnapped people and forced them to play with him in a mix of Russian roulette and The Matrix. Victims were offered a choice between a blue pill and a red pill, one of which was poisoned. The second pill was always taken by the offender himself.



The abducted swallowed a pill, washed down with water and immediately left this world. At the same time, the criminal never got a pill with poison. Why?

On the outskirts of the city lived a lonely old man. On the morning of a hot summer Friday, a salesman came to his house and knocked on the door, but received no response. Then he looked out the window and saw the owner lying on the floor.





The man called the police. Detectives examined the crime scene and found two bottles of warm milk near the doorstep, one with cold and a daily newspaper for Tuesday. Arresting a criminal was a matter of time. Who is he and how did the police find out?

One frosty evening, Bill found his friend John dead in the kitchen of his home. A police officer asked about the circumstances in which the body was found.

According to Bill, he knocked on the door for a long time. John didn't open it, although through a frozen window it was clear that the light was on. Then Bill breathed on the window glass to melt the ice. I looked into the room and saw John lying on the floor. The policeman arrested Bill. Why?

The body of a famous chemist was found on the floor of the laboratory. Next to him was found a small piece of paper, which was listed some chemical elements.





The detective determined that on the last day the lab was visited by the deceased's wife Mary, friend Nicholas and brother Pedro. The suspect in the crime was immediately arrested. Who is he?

Solutions from the detective's notebook
  1. School accident
    The math teacher is guilty. According to him, he conducted a final test. But it was on the first day of the school year.
  2. The Road to Freedom
    With the help of a shovel, you need to make an earth slide, stand on it and get out the window.
  3. Mrs. Bishop's Jewels
    Detectives realized Mrs Bishop was cheating on them. Since there were no pieces of glass inside the house, it could only be broken from the inside.
  4. Blue and red.
    The offender did not risk anything, since both pills were normal vitamins, and the poison was in a glass of water.
  5. House on the outskirts
    The police arrested the newspaper man. Only he knew there would be no one to read Wednesday and Thursday.
  6. Frozen window
    Bill tricked a cop. The man could not melt the ice on the window outside, because it forms only on the inside of the window.


  7. Suicide note
    The solution is encrypted in the list of chemical elements. If you consistently write their symbols from the periodic table of Mendeleev, you get the name of the killer in Latin: Ni-C-O-La-S.


You guessed it right, don't you think? If you are sure that our logic is flawed, then be sure to write. We cannot allow suspicion to fall on an innocent person.
