BRING THE SHERLOCK
HOLMES INSIDE OUT!
RIDDLE I - Jailbreak
Jack is placed in a cell with a dirt floor and only one window positioned
so high no one could reach it. The cell is empty except for a shovel. It’s dry and
hot in there, but Jack won’t get any food or drink anytime soon. He has only
2 days to break out of the jail. If not — he’ll die.
Digging a tunnel is not an option because it’ll take more than 2 days. How
should Jack escape the cell?
RIDDLE II - A STOLEN NECKLACE
Add a heading
Mrs. Smith went to the police claiming that her vintage necklace was
missing. When the police arrived, they saw no signs of a break-in. Only
one window was broken. There was a total mess inside the house and
dirty footprints all over the floor.
The next day, Mrs. Smith was arrested for fraud. Why?
RIDDLE IIi - murder at school
On the first day of the school year, a geography teacher was
murdered. The police had 4 suspects: the gardener, the math teacher,
the coach, and the school principal. They all had alibis:
·        The gardener was cutting bushes.
·        The math teacher was holding a mid-year test.
·        The coach was playing basketball.
·        The principal was in his office.
The killer was arrested immediately. Who killed the geography
teacher, and how did the police solve the mystery?
