Three Hour Mystery

Did he kill his wife’s lover?
…the neighbor’s dog that had been keeping him up at night?

Was it his male lover? or his male lovers’
lover?

Sorry, wrong mystery!

Doh… wrong button.
Did it happen in that order? (rope broke, bell rang, man died)
Yes
Would the man have died if the rope didn’t break?
No
… if the bell didn’t ring?
No
Was the rope attached to the bell?
Yes
Was the bell attached to the man?
No
Was the man blind?
Yes
Or deaf?
No

Did the bell ring because the rope broke?

Did the bell from somewhere?

Was the ringing of the bell a signal for the man to do something? Or to stop doing something?

-Did the bell ring because the rope broke?
No
-Did the bell (fall?) from somewhere?
No
-Was the ringing of the bell a signal for the man to do something?
No
Or to stop doing something?
No

You’ll need more info to clarify two answers. The order of events and the bell as a signal.

Did the rope break because of something cutting through it? (a knife or something?)

Did the man cause the rope to break?

If so, did he do it on purpose?

Did the man cause the bell to ring?

If so, was it on purpose?
Do you know that this is driving me insane and I hate you for it?

Was the bell a signal for someone else to do something?

Or stop doing something?

Did the bell signal the time?

Since the rope that was attached to the bell broke, was the bell not supposed to ring when it did?


Heck is where you go when you don’t believe in Gosh.

Did the events take place in the Dark Ages?

I thought you said he was alone when he died. Now I’m confused. :frowning:

Anyway, did the bell signal for someone to let go of the rope?

Did it signal for them to pull on the rope?

Was there a “tug-of-war” going on with the rope?

One Hour Left - Here’s a recap:
A blind man died alone, outdoors.
The events happened in order. Kinda.
The rope is attached to the bell, which is a signal for someone else to do something.
Jeannie is confused.

“I never meant to hurt you,” you said,
And buried yourself in lies instead.
Next time I would rather be slain,
Than forced to bear your mercy again.

Was the bell close enough for the man to hear it?

Did the man hear the bell before he died?

If so, did he know when he heard the bell that he was about to die?

Was the man handicapped in any other way besides being blind?
Was the bell a signal to a seeing eye dog?

-Was the bell close enough for the man to hear it?

Did the rope break at the same time that the bell rang?

-Was the man handicapped in any other way besides being blind?
No
-Was the bell a signal to a seeing eye dog?
No

-Did the rope break at the same time that the bell rang?
Yes

Okay, so the bell rang out of the man’s earshot. Upon hearing the bell, another person did something which caused the man to die. Is that correct?

Furthermore, is one of the following the cause of his death?

suffocation
electrocution
strangulation
stabbing
shooting
hanging
lethal injection
ingestion of poison
fall from a height
crushed by something

Was the bell on a train and the rope had broken earlier while ringing the bell, but could not be rung again to warn the blind man crossing the tracks?
