Title: self-inflicted gunshot wounds
Post by Sid Shady on Mar 21st, 2003, 3:05pm
This one has had me stumped for a a week now. It came from the Mind Trap game as far as I know, but I don't own the game so I can't check the answer. I just know its one of those black diamond cards. Anyway her's how the question goes:
Shadow flipped the tent flap open and surveyed the scene. On the floor, in the center of the tent, a man lay dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. In the corner of the tent was a small cot. A package of cigarettes and an empty whiskey bottle lay on the bedside table next to a kerosene lamp. Shadow combed the tent for additional clues to the possible motive. Other than the articles mentioned, the only things Shadow found were a half dozen small circular wooden discs under the cot, the man's personal effects and a variety of scrapbooks and news clippings. Shadow found the last articles particularly strange since it was learned the suicide victim was completely illiterate. What was the reason for the apparent suicide?
Thanks in advance if you know/figure out the answer to this one!

I don't understand all (my poor English), but small cot an wood
reminds me an history with 2 small persons who work in a circus.
The biggest of both persons persuaded other one than he grows by cutting the wooden baton which is of use as mark to the other one.

suicide is not logical, so therefore, there must be a trivial/shallow/stupid reason for doing so; such as the dead guy being depressed or, him being drunk from the whisky, decides to play russian roulette with himself.
