These are ones I read in a book, however, I don't agree with the answers.
I'm just curious to see what other's think.
try to solve it on your own first though.
So, there's this genious detective guy, who was brought to an alleyway where a man was found dead by witnesses.
The death is believed suicide as the man has a knife in his left hand, (his right hand was in a cast) there are no other fingerprints besides his own on the knife and no signs of wiping down fingerprints. Another reason murder was cancelled out was because the man had a total of 100$ dollars in cash, with 40$ in his front right pocket, 20$ in his front left, and his back pockets had 20& each, which a murderer would have stolen.
After a quick inspection our detective discovered this to be murder.
the man had a cast on his right arm, so would not be able to but money in his right pockets. The murderer must have planted them in the pockets after killing him, and wore gloves while killing him.
as anyone can see, it is possible and rather simple to touch your right pocket with your left hand. Though, with this point of view, suicide or murder isn't clear.
2. There is a murder in the woods. Simple as that.
our detective friend questions a man who lives in a house in the same portion of forest.
The man swears he did not see it. During the time of the murder he said he was carrying paint from the shed to the house in order to give it a fresh paintjob.
An inspection of the paint can shows a hole in the bottom. and when the detective walks to the shed to investigate, a look at the ground shows the man was a witness. How did he know?
The paint that dripped from the bucket became splattered in longer streams and further apart about halfway from the house to the shed, showing that the man must have seen the murder and started running.
Perhaps he noticed his bucket was dripping so he ran the rest of the way to lose less paint.
