Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a suspected murderer. They don't know what he looks like but they know his name is John and that he is inside the house. The police bust in on a carpenter, a lorry driver, a mechanic and a fireman all playing poker. Without hesitation or communication of any kind, they immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know they've got their man?

a) he could have had nametag "John" on his fireman coat

b) the other three could have been women (although I don't think I've ever had a woman change my oil )

As iI said the name is not enough.There has to be something more obvious-the other 3 should be women.

he had his name written on his fireman suit or they heared somebody calling him Jhon or whatever is his name.Although there is no garancy that he is the only one with this name.

It must be that everyone else was female...
