* She has no alibi. No one saw her during the time of the murder, and she avoided the question when Rock asked her.

* Pshrink implicated her by the Yellow Star with the Red Q he was clutching. She said, “I’m a BLOODY QUAKER!”, and what better way for the dying man to implicate a Bloody Quaker than by pulling out his old avatar? Red Q = Bloody Quaker. Oh, what a giveaway!

I chose Nekokami as the murderer because she had motive, no alibi, and was a “Bloody Quaker” who was implicated by pshrink by his clutching of the Yellow Star with the Red Q.

Case closed.

(I hope!)
Ah, exactly my logic. I guess the case "WT Sharp and LCF having claim for the prises" is really closed.

When asked what he was doing at the time of the murder he stated, he was “moderating.” “There is a new thread on a new reader that has been getting heated and I was keeping tack of possible trolls.” My daughter and I believe the thread was placed there by Nate the Grate, as he was putting string on everything. The new reader was one of the prizes on the wall. Pshrynk was going to steal the reader, and mtravellerh clubbed him with the crowbar to protect it, in essence, he was moderating, or protecting the new ereader.

This was fun!
So that's what I missed! I had to ask my little sister!

* Pilotbob said that MTravellerH was polishing the prize cases, but MTH said he was “busy with the new reader at the time.” Was BOb lying or just distracted? And earlier, Zelda was seen by Rock to be absent-mindedly dusting the cases. Why bother to dust recently polished cases?

'Cause it's Zippy. The "absent-minded" Zippy, trying to hide her big secret and probable eavesdrop.

* Pilotbob said that Ravenne was spray-painting a dog at the time, but she said she was trying to get the next contest ready for the members. Was he lying about what she was doing, or does the next contest involve a spray-painted dog? Since the next contest is now out (a drawing for an iPad), it seems as if Ravenne was lying. Why?

Well, we"ll know when the next contest comes

* What were the significance of the printed words “Moby Dick” on the Nook?

To make you think it was the Blue Thing Next to the white Whale!


* Why did Patricia say that “Zelda never touches the Red Button,” when during the course of the story, Zelda pressed the Red Button twice, and was obviously quite familiar with its operation?

To confuse us, I guess.


* Why did Nate the Great say, “I understand that pshrynk took one on the head. Nasty business. But then, he didn't know that much about electronics.” What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?

42 answers available for that Question.

Just curious...

Let's all vote our own murderer and claim the prizes for ourselves (or maybe just vote)
Hey, we are winning now! The poll I mean...
