Mysteries, Can you figure these ones out without cheating??

Let see how smart you all are, now cheating!!





Study Carefully... ..the clues are so blatant you will be kicking yourself if you miss them! Don't look at the answers until you are sure you have all three right.





Mystery one





A man was found murdered Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these answers:





The wife said she was sleeping. The cook was preparing breakfast. The gardener was gathering vegetables. The maid was getting the mail. The butler was polishing shoes in the pantry.





The police instantly arrested the murderer. Who did it and how did they know?

Mystery two





A man walks into his bathroom and shoots himself right between the eyes using a real gun with real bullets. He walks out alive, with no blood anywhere and no, he didn't miss and he wasn't Superman or any other crusader wearing a cape.





How did he do this?





------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Mystery three





Old Mr. Teddy was found dead in his study by Mr. Fiend. Mr. Fiend recounted his dismal discovery to the police:





"I was walking by Mr. Teddy's house when I thought I would just pop in for a visit. I noticed his study light was on and I decided to peek in from the outside to see if he was in there. There was frost on the window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside. That is when I saw his body. So I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul play. I called the police immediately afterward."





The officer immediately arrested Mr. Fiend for the murder of Mr. Teddy.





How did he know Mr. Fiend was lying?

Try to figure these questions before looking at the answers below.





























ANSWERS:





1. It was the Maid. She said she was getting the mail but there is no mail delivery on Sunday.





2. He shot his reflection in the bathroom mirror.





3. Frost forms inside of the window, not the outside. So Mr. Fiend could not have wiped it off to discover Mr. Teddy's body.





Did you get them right? Be honest!

Mysteries, Can you figure these ones out without cheating??
The last one beat me but as soon as I seen the answer - you were right, I could have kicked myself!! Got any more?!
Reply:got the first 2





not the last one
Reply:I got one and three, I saw the answer to number two by mistake, but I doubt I would have got it anyway.


Very good, I like.
Reply:sorry only the bathroom one.
Reply:Yes i got them right.
Reply:he must have died on a friday as no mail on sunday - that was the maid the man shot himself in the mirror


didnt get the 3rd one





and i didnt cheat even though the answers are at the bottom of the page HONEST
Reply:No. But this is brilliant.
Reply:I did get the third one...frost being on the inside.





As for the mail, I have left my mail outside overnight. In fact, yesterday's mail is probably still out there...
Reply:I love your hair!!!
Reply:I. Right


2. Didn't know


3. Didn't know





;-)
Reply:I got them all right!! It took me a while to figure out the last one though, till I remembered frosty nightst in my old cottage when ice used to form inside the wondows. Great puzzles, thanks!!
Reply:I only got the first one!
Reply:Me and the kids got 2 out of 3


good clean family fun!!
Reply:i got the first 2 but not the last.....i didnt know frost forms on the inside
Reply:No not even one but I did guess the maid for the first one it was a stupid guess I was thinking about this movie I once saw you know it is usually the maid lol no I just guessed the maid
Reply:Got the first two right, got a bruise where I kicked myself over the third ;0)
Reply:I got the second one, but not the others.
Reply:great question!! i got 2 and 3 right a bit annoyed at myself for missing the 1st one though!!
Reply:Yes.





I've heard of the first one.





I figured out the second.





I had the same reasoning as the 3rd answer. You actually recounted the riddle wrong ... it should be condensation not frost.
Reply:Grrrr no!... lol
Reply:Very very good.... no I didn't manage to get any.





I have heard of the first one before... Sunday and the Maid getting mail but I completely got brainwashed!!!





My grey cells have sadly been exterminated by the radiation off my computer. Brain gone to mush!





(pea soup and a bib for me tonight)
Reply:The maid. Mail doesn't come on Sunday. But the mail could have been in the box for a day.





Well there are mirrors in a bath room. But if he shot the mirror he shot his reflection not him self.





I imagine the fact that frost typically forms on the inside of a window. But not always. :o)
Reply:1. I got wrong


2. I got wrong


3. I got right





just being honest here
Reply:I got the secound one right, very good well done.
Reply:1. no problem.


2. no problem.


3. had to give a few seconds thought.
Reply:i got #1 RIGHT


#2 wrong


#3 RIGHT
Reply:1.Without knowing where and when this stricken household existed, it’s impossible to say for sure, but I’d guess that the maid is lying because there would be no mail delivered on Sunday. She might have any other motive for lying, of course, but in the absence of other information I’d bet she murdered her master.





2.He shot his reflection in the mirror.





3.I have no idea. I imagine it’s got to be something about the frost on the window, but it eludes me.
