Title: Murder
Post by alien2 on Mar 23^rd, 2017, 12:28pm

Dereck hears a scream from adjacent flat. He rushes in as the door wasn’t locked to see Annie lying dead with a knife sticking in her chest. There are Charlie, Tom, Jake and Billy sitting on a couch. Just by glancing at them, although he sees nothing out of the ordinary about them, he knows right away who done it. How?

It wasn't me - I swear! It was [hide]all of them - otherwise, why would they be sitting on the couch when Annie has just been murdered?![/hide]

[hide]I'm guessing they're watching a movie, but I don't know which one, so I can't say who killed Annie (in the movie). Maybe Dereck saw the movie before, and that's how he knows.[/hide]

These two guesses are real good. However, in my scenario, the culprit is sitting on the couch.

[hide]Three of them are sitting on the couch as far from the fourth as possible, because they fear for their life.[/hide]

I was thinking of a more original answer. And the couch does not stretch into infinity.

There is something rotten at Wu forums. Although pex is an uberpuzzler, dudiobugtron was not the one to solve this riddle of mine, let me tell you. He must have been sleeping, or, his bitter half kept him up all night. I suppose I could talk to Annie and tell her that you need to recover your strength in order to solve puzzles w/o fatigue like no riddler had solved before!

Full cast:

Towr-Luc Picard
Commander Grimbal
Lieutenant Commander Dudiobugtron (the only sentient android in existance who puts Asimo in perspective)
Rloginunix, leader of the Klingon Empire
Noke Lieu, Bard of Wu
and many, many more...

Charlie, Tom and Jake are all tied up on the couch with duct tape. They can't move. Bill is free and cleaning off the blood from his hands.
And the scream he heard was "HELP! Bill is killing me!".
