The detectives are now puzzled because the house is empty of furniture, and they just cannot figure out how this man could have possibly gotten himself up on the light fixture, and there not be one single sign of how he got there. It's up to you to help determine exactly how he got up there.     the clues are   HE 'DID' COMMIT SUICIDE HE STOOD ON SOMETHING THAT IS NO LONGER VISIBLE NO SIGNS OF WHAT HE STOOD ON, THE HOUSE IS EMPTY and it was not assisted   « Last Edit: Apr 9th, 2005, 6:24am by Icarus » IP Logged JiNbOtAk Uberpuzzler Hana Hana No Mi     Gender: Posts: 1187 Re: Help Me solve this riddle I am stuck   « Reply #1 on: Apr 8th, 2005, 6:13pm » Quote Modify He used a table. That table had turned to dust by the hundreds of thousands of termites infecting the house..     Of course, it could always be something much cooler.. IP Logged Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

IP Logged alien Guest Re: Unsupported Suicide   « Reply #10 on: Dec 8th, 2005, 11:46am » Quote Modify Remove Since it is a very high light fixture, I must opt for this solution, instead of the usual - ice, or should I say, steps made of ice: the expensive light fixture automatically comes down for cleaning because it is programmed so, I do not know, say once a month, so while it was down, he has hang himself on the fixture. So, no actual puzzle this is, just a question, really, for the rich blokes, and poor detectives.     IP Logged Bethany Newbie     Gender: Posts: 23 Re: Unsupported Suicide   « Reply #11 on: Dec 9th, 2005, 8:19am » Quote Modify on Dec 8th, 2005, 11:46am, alien wrote: Since it is a very high light fixture, I must opt for this solution, instead of the usual - ice, or should I say, steps made of ice: the expensive light fixture automatically comes down for cleaning because it is programmed so, I do not know, say once a month, so while it was down, he has hang himself on the fixture.
