Three Minute Mysteries, or How Come? Chapter II

Did Mr. G commit the murder?

If so, do we need to know why to solve the murder?

Hey, Falcon, you can keep the cigar as long as we all tell Flysyde I solved it.

Realhoops asks: Was part of the mattress used to cause her inability to breathe?
IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING

Falcon asks: Okay…so the scissors were used to cut the mattress open?
YES!

SwimmingRiddles asks: Mrs. G choked on the mattress. Do I get the cigar?
NO - YOU’RE MISSING A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE. DOES IT MAKE SENSE THAT A PERSON WOULD CHOKE TO DEATH ON A MATTRESS?

Do you same people come here every day and do this?

SR - works for me…having either ONE of us win will annoy him…

JimB asks: Did she drown in a water bed that had been cut by the scissors?

DING DING DING DING!!!

That’s it.

Well done, Jim!

And good timing, too - I have a meeting in another building at 1:00, so I must run.

Good games, guys!

Only when Bricker decides to commit most of his morning to answering our questions. What about that waterbed question, that was a good one.

(Falcon: Deal. Either of us win, we e-mail him.)

nooooooooo!!! Damn. I guess I’ll have to get my third cigar the old fashioned way. Beating Flypsyde. Feh.

This was definitely fun. I just stumbled in here, and wish I had more time to spend doing stuff like this… unfortunately I don’t get paid for screwing off at work, and must balance my computer use with doing actual work!

Nice to meet you though… in fact, you were kind enough to welcome me here that I’ll send you some Chunky Monkey… hey, and since it’s only “virtual” ice cream, no calories!

And I should have noted – the coveted cigar goes to JimB. Nice work for a newcomer!

All right, now I’m late. Off I go…

Yea, they don’t pay me to straight dope the day away, and yet I somehow manage. Ahhhh…

Thanks for the Cigar! I enjoy reading these, though, I usually read them after they are already solved.

Does anybody want another one?

Good idea, Arnold!

I can’t say no, not when there’s a virtual cigar on the line…

Ah-ha! Our rivalry still seethes, SR. And pay no attention to Falcon-she’s a pour, misguided soul, and can only bring you to ruin. Trust me, I know. I’ve hung out with her.

Bring it on, Arnold, and let’s get to the cigar.


Battles are won in nuance.

HAH! You spelled “poor” wrong. (hurry up, Arnold, I’m grasping at straws here…)

As anyone who’s ever hung out with Falc can attest, “pour” is probably a better term to use anyway.

But I second your “Hurry up, Arnold!”.


Battles are won in nuance.

Arnold, I’d like another, but could ya start a new thread for it?

sorry, had a phone call. I’ll start another thread.
