Explorers:
A serial killer kidnapped his victims, held them hostage and offered them a possibility to stay alive.

They had to choose from two pills.

One was poison, other was harmless.

Whichever pill the victim took, the serial killer would take the other one.

The victim took their pill with water and died.

The killer obviously survived.



How did the killer always end up with the harmless pill?
The liquid is the poison

A dead body is found at the bottom of a multistory building.

It looks quite clear that the person has committed suicide by jumping off from one of the floors.

A detective comes, goes to the first floor and walks in the room facing the direction in which the body was found.

He opens the closed window of that room and flips a coin towards the floor.

He goes to the second floor and does the exact same thing till the last floor.

Then, when he climbs down, he tells the team that it is a murder, not suicide.



How did he know?
At least one of the floors window ought to be opened if he jumped to his death

A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.

When the police came in, they immediately pressed the play button on the cassette.

He said “I have nothing else to live for.

I can’t go on,” then the sound of a gunshot.

After listening to the cassette tape, the police knew that it was not a suicide.

How did they know?

Simple! You cannot kill yourself then rewind the tape to begin playing from your last words.

Remember, the police pressed 'play' as soon as they arrived.

A lonely old man lived in a lonely old house in the suburbs of a city.

He never left his house for long.

It was a midsummer, a Friday when the mailman walked by the house and called the lonely old man.

There was no answer.

When he looked into the window, he saw that old man lying in a pool of blood.

When the policemen arrived, they found a newspaper from Tuesday, 2 bottles of warm milk and one cold bottle.

The next day, the killer was arrested.

Who was the killer, and how did the police figure this one out?

Jack was placed in a cell 2×2 with one window at the top of the wall.

The window was big enough for him to go through it but too high for anyone to reach it.

The cell was empty.

It had nothing in it, except a shovel.

He had only two days to break out.

How will Jack escape?


Dig up the earth around and make a mound out of it. Eventually it should be high enough for him to climb and reach the window

people did not think to that direction ooo...the milk is obviously fresh

But looking at it from another angle... Why did the mailman not deliver for 2 days... And finally they have to find out who has the best motive for murder

Good luck to them ll

You mentioned that he is in a 2x2 compartment. This means that his outstretched hands and legs would touch the parallel walls either way. Jack would simply use the shovel to make holes on the sides of the walls to support his hands and legs and he will do that upwardly till he reaches the top and escapes.

1) the window was closed.
2) if the coin hits the lower floors before getting to the ground floor, the would have been blood stains around the lower floors and the body would have been highly mutilated.

On a cold winter night, a man named Jack was found dead in his house.

He was found by his friend John.

He said that he was passing by Jack’s house and wanted to visit him.

He knocked and rang the bell for a really long time, but there was no answer.

Then he decided to remove the ice from the windows to look inside.

He did that by breathing on the iced window glass.

That is how he was able to see Jack’s body and to call the police.

The next day, police arrested John as their prime suspect.


Why?
The police arrest ted him because his story didn't add up, he acted as if he knew something was wrong and he came to confirm it that's why he didn't want to touch anything so as not to be implicated.
