That’s why I hate so many riddles like this, I’m too logical about them.
Also why I never liked the Sherlock Holmes books… I remember going to read the first one and being all excited because it was a murder mystery that I could try and solve while reading the book myself. Something about this woman was killed in an apt, the door was locked on the inside, the window was broken, but she was like 10 stories up, furniture was thrown around the room, I dunno, a few other random things.
I thought and I thought about it for days before I finally decided to keep reading. In the end they told you that what they DIDN’T TELL YOU was that a giant gorilla had escaped from the local news and had swung up a giant tree and and into her apartment and beat her with like a broomstick or something stupid.
I was so pissed off.
