Are we anywhere close to getting this one?
Was she referring to somebody else’s bathroom?
Is ice involved?
Are Ed and wife trying to figure out why there is water on the floor, or is this part of a bigger mystery (e.g. who broke into their house)?
Is the answer to the puddle part of the mystery simply that someone took a shower there?
Connor asks: Are we anywhere close to getting this one?
NO. THE ONLY TWO BRUSHES YOU’VE HAD WITH INSIGHT HAVE BEEN STUDIOUSLY IGNORED. OF COURSE, I USE ‘YOU’ IN ITS INDEFINITE SENSE. WHEN THE PUZZLE MASTER HIMSELF POSES A QUESTION AND GIVES THE ANSWER, THAT’S USUALLY A GOOD CLUE.

YOUR QUESTION ASSUMES FACTS NOT IN EVIDENCE
Was he checking their bathroom in order to determine whether it was flooded?
Axel Wheeler asks: Was he checking their bathroom in order to determine whether it was flooded?
NO!!
Had the puddle the wife found frozen by the time he checked it?
Was it an unheated bathroom?
Did he ask her “Why did you leave the window open in the bathroom?!? Its 30 below out there, no wonder you fell on your ass, that huge puddle has frozen over!”?
Let us call the bathroom that the wife insisted had a puddle on the floor Bathroom A; and the bathroom that Ed checked Bathroom B.
Was there ever really a puddle on the floor of Bathroom A?
Did Ed think his wife was talking about Bathroom B when she was talking about the puddle?
Is Bathroom A the same as Bathroom B?
Are Bathroom A and Bathroom B connected or adjoined in any way (above one another, below one another, etc.)
Did it matter to Ed whether there was a puddle on the floor of Bathroom A?
