Criminology: Pop Quiz!

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Welcome, class.

Please take your seats. I have a pop quiz for you today. When you have completed it and turned it in, you may go. Because the new edition of Wasps and Hornets Monthly came in, and I ain't got no time fo' the jibba-jabba.



[It's a 5 Minute Mystery/Encyclopedia Brown type thing, so if you want to play it, don't read the comments until you follow the link.]

"I got it wrong -- I thought his wife did it while he was planting the roses -- but I don't think the question played fair. We were never told how tall the windows are, and it's possible Mrs. Waters could hang curtains without a ladder.

Also, it never tells us the stairs to the roof don't lock after you. If they did, then the whole business about nobody having a key is silly -- he could have just gone up there and fallen off by accident."

Angela shudders. "This stuff still isn't fun to think about.

"Well, I appreciate the level of thought process you put into the quiz, and you have some valid points about the exercise. And you're right, it isn't fun to think about. Most crime isn't."
