Subject: The Turtle Soup Game
Written By: randyripoff on 08/20/19 at 9:26 pm
Many years ago, I taught folklore at a summer camp(we had new campers each week of different ages, from 8-15). At the time, the folklore class was pretty unstructured, so I could more or less do as I pleased. Sometimes I told ghost stories, sometimes sports games, sometimes mythology, whatever I thought might be entertaining to the kids. One of the most useful things we did was two minute mysteries, as they allowed me to be lazy. 😁
The basic rules are as follows: a scenario is laid before the people playing, and you're allowed to ask as many yes/no questions as you like to determine the answer.
I request the following :
* One question per post
* If you already know the answer, please keep it to yourself and let others play. Same with Googling the answer.
Once the scenario is solved, the person who solves it gets to post a new one OR they can pass it back to someone else who's interested (FYI, I'm happy to post more).
So here's the first scenario :
A man is found dead, surrounded by 52 bicycles. What happened?

That's the answer. The man was caught playing with marked cards and killed because of it. There were 52 bicycles because they were Bicycle brand playing cards.

Written By: randyripoff on 09/22/19 at 6:09 am
A man lives on the twelfth floor of an apartment building. Every morning he wakes up, gets dressed, eats, goes to the elevator, takes it down to the lobby, and leaves the building for work. In the evening, he goes through the lobby to the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator (or if it was raining that day) he goes back to his floor directly. However, if there is nobody else in the elevator and it hasn't rained, he goes to the 10th floor and walks up two flights of stairs to his room.
Just to avoid confusion, the solution is why his behavior changes.

Yes
When the bartender served the drinks, did they contain the same amount of poison as when the second man died?

I am stumped on this one.

Yes! You finally figured it out.
The poison was not in the liquid, but in the icd. As the first man drank quickly, the ice did not melt and therefore the poison did not get into the drink. The second man was affected because he allowed the ice to melt before finishing his drink.
Your turn.

Hi, the way this game works is that whoever solves the current question gets to ask the next or specify someone else to do so. Personally I would like it if someone were asking questions other than myself, but there is currently one unsolved that's being worked on.
You could try to answer the current question and then post your new one if you're correct. Additionally someone may pass to you when they solve the current problem. I think you'll see some good engagement then.

I assume you're asking if the soup the man had eaten in the past was turtle soup, and the answer is no.

I'll try to solve it then:
The man gets marooned on an island with other people. Someone in the group dies. The man is given soup from someone else in the group who says it is "Turtle Soup". The man comes to like Turtle Soup. The group is rescued and afterwards the man decides to go have some more Turtle Soup, like he ate on the island. When he tastes it at the restaurant that is when he realizes that he wasn't eating Turtle Soup when he was on the island - and recalling that someone died on the island, he couldn't take the thought of what he may have been eating on the island, the impetus for his suicide.

You will find that smoking is forbidden on public transport in Switzerland: https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-gb/planning/about-switzerland/general-facts/general-information/smoking-policy/
"Since 1 May 2010, smoking has been forbidden in Switzerland in enclosed areas when they are open to the public or serve as a workplace for more than one person. Hence it is forbidden to smoke in restaurants, public buildings and offices. Smoking is also forbidden on public transport. Smoking is permitted in separate smoking rooms, outdoors and in private homes."

Music stops and a woman dies.
So the woman was a blindfolded tightrope walker who depended on music to complete her act, and the circus honcho responsible for the music stopped the music abruptly at the wrong time causing her to miss her cue and fall? Correct? Is there more?

I have an idea about what happened in this scenario. Did he jump from the hot air balloon in order to save the other passengers because he drew the shortest match? The hot air balloon was disabled, being too heavy to fly over the desert, and throwing out clothes had not been enough to make it light enough.

The killer had been put into his wheelchair sometime before by the dead man after a drunk driving incident. The killer made note of the license plate and tracked the dead man down and murdered.

Chris and his new bride Christine were racing down a narrow country road when their car spluttered to a halt. Chris realised he was out of petrol so he decided to go for help. He instructed Christin to lock the car doors and keep the windows closed.
When Chris returned to the car he found his new bride dead and there was a stranger in the car. The car was still locked, and the car was undamaged.
How did Christine die, and who was the stranger?

So let's see.
He got in his car and drove for a bit, then he realized he was having an allergic reaction to some food he ate. He parked his car, turned off his headlights and called for an ambulance. The ambulance found him after he turned his headlights back on.
Is the only thing left to solve is why he turned his headlights back on?

This is correct.
What's left to solve is how turning his headlights on caused the ambulance to be able to find him. It was not because they could see his headlights, they were able to find him for another reason.

So to recap, he had an allergic reaction to some food he ate, pulled over and called emergency services. Since he didn't know where he was, emergency services asked him to turn on his headlights so the ambulance could find him.
Is there anything still missing ftom this story?

Yes, it wasn't so that the ambulance could see his headlights, but that his headlights lit up the address of the building so, while on the phone, he could tell the ambulance where to go. karen solved it.

The tent door flapped open to reveal the body of a man. He appeared to have died from self inflicted gunshot wounds. In the corner of the tent was a small bed, underneath which were some small wooden discs. Apart from the gun, the only other items in the room were some scrapbooks full of newspaper clippings.
