Tommy was exploring old caves outside the city when he got trapped in a mysterious dungeon there were three ways out but only one of them was safe behind the first door a fire was raging behind the second door there was acid rain which could melt any substance within seconds behind the third door there was a huge brown bear that hadn't eaten for two years, which way should tommy choose tommy should choose the third way no animal can go for two years without food and survive barely it was a stormy day and it had been raining for several hours straight a car accident happened in a tunnel the yellow car crashed into the red one the driver of the yellow car said it had been raining so heavily he hadn't seen anything so the accident wasn't totally his fault but the police asked the man to stop lying and claimed it was all his fault why the accident happened in the tunnel it couldn't be raining there Mrs. Mcadams who was having a day off with her friends came back home in the middle of the day to change her clothes there she found out that her daughter Evelyn who she grounded wasn't at home Mrs. Mcadams got angry and texted Evelyn asking where she was, Evelyn texted her back saying she was at school the girl even attached a picture of the classroom Mrs. mcadams didn't believe her daughter and told her to come home immediately how did she understand eve line wasn't at school look closely at her cell phone it's Sunday there's no school on Sundays ned works in a club his job is to check people's id cards and to not let suspicious people or people younger than 21 years old get inside take a look at these three id cards and figure out who shouldn't enter the club, the first person is already 21 and nothing else looks suspicious in his id the second girl seems all right too it's written that braille was born on September 31st ah but such date doesn't exist her id must be fake Mrs. cabell is the owner of a small company producing expensive designer cups on Friday when the working week was finally over she got a call from her bank the woman found out that someone had stolen all the money she had saved Mrs. cabell realized it must have been one of her workers so she asked each of them what they had been doing that day Sloan a sales manager said she had been talking to their clients and looking for new ones attics a potter said he always made one cup a day and he showed all the cups he had done that week sierra a designer said she had been working but she also admitted she hadn't been really productive that day because of some family issues who lied attics there are five working days in a regular week the man said he made one mug a day but he only showed four mugs it means he missed one day of work Lennox and fin were friends living in the same college dorm one day Lennox reported that something had happened to his friend he said fin hadn't left his room all day he also never responded to any of Lennox’s texts in the evening Lennox started to worry and knocked on fin’s door but the guy didn't answer Lennox peeked through the keyhole and saw that his friend was lying on the floor so he called the police after that Linux got arrested why Linux has a bandage on his right eye but the keyhole is located in such a way that it's only possible to look inside with the right eye it means the guy couldn't do it he simply knew what had happened Esme was having a walk in the forest and got lost for about the 20th time they don't ask anyway she found the witch's house walked in said hi petted the cat and asked the witch to show her the way home but the witch had a problem she was learning a new spell and accidentally did something strange to her chairs on the bright side she now had a riddle for Esme to solve the witch had 20 chairs now some of the chairs only had two legs and half of the rest had no legs at all how many legs did all these 20 chairs we know that some of the chairs have on average two legs per chair the rest of them have either four legs or no legs at all and since half of the rest have no legs and the other half have four together they have two legs per chair so there are exactly 40 legs mr tucker was a businessman he wanted to find an interesting hobby to impress people he chose art even though he knew nothing about it still he kept buying paintings and even owned a couple of famous masterpieces he liked to invite his potential business partners over to show off his collection one day his guest was miss Geneva derby a young lady who owned a jewelry business as always mr tucker boasted about his collection but miss drably wasn't impressed why look closer at this supposedly 16th century painting there are a couple of cars on the road but there were no cars at that time so the painting must be fake Evie and Kai were planning to go on a bike tour with their friends unfortunately evie didn't feel well so she cancelled on her friends and asked Kai to stay with her Kai was disappointed but agreed evie fell asleep when she woke up she already felt better she offered Kai to ride their bikes a bit just the two of them but when they went outside evie realized that while she had been sleeping Kai had been out with the friends without her how did she understand it look Evie's bike is all wet it must have been raining while she was asleep but kai's bike is dry it means that he used it and then wiped it off or maybe he wasn't even in the area when it was raining two weeks ago a bank was robbed but the robber hadn't been found yet a phone call woke detective callum up in the middle of the night his colleague reported that a farmer had found the money when the detective arrived he questioned the farmer the man said i argued with my wife and went outside that's when i found a bag with money in a cornfield detective callum asked if the farmer had noticed anything suspicious before the farmer replied about two weeks ago before going to bed i looked out of the window i saw a man walking through the field it was a full moon and i could clearly see his silhouette but there wasn't enough light to notice more details about him the farmer was arrested why the farmer said it had been a full moon two weeks before but it's impossible as you see it's a full moon now the farmer is lying but why Ashley was hurrying to an unplanned business meeting she asked her boyfriend dean to walk the dog dean agreed but then his friend called and invited him to play a new video game so the guy decided to skip walking the dog that day and joined his friends he and Ashley met right outside the house when they both were going back home Ashley asked what dean had been doing the guy said i walked the dog and then went to play video games with my friends Ashley immediately understood he was lying how did she figure it out it's winter look at the footprints in the snow there are Ashley's footprints going both ways and dean's footprints going both ways too but there are no dog footprints mrs rivers reported that someone had broken into her house they stole all the money and jewelry she kept in her living room detective callum arrived to investigate the crime the room was a mess it was obvious that someone had been looking for something there but in the end the detective concluded that there was no robbery mrs rivers made the whole thing up why did he decide so look at this very expensive and fragile tea set lying on the floor if a criminal had really been there he wouldn't have cared about the set it would be smashed after falling down it seems that when mrs rivers was staging a robbery she didn't feel like breaking her expensive tea set viviana and malcolm were working outside malcolm was repairing the roof and viviana was working in the garden suddenly a hammer fell from the roof and hit viviana on the head she was taken to a hospital and the police came to figure out what had happened when malcolm told them everything the police arrested him for staging an accident why didn't they believe the guy viviana was working right next to the house she was sitting under the roof if the hammer had fallen accidentally it would have slid down the roof and fallen behind the woman's back it could hit her only if someone threw it at her
