Okay.....just one hint, Pooh?

What is the name of the body that Madame Z threw into the chair?

You mean on the floor? You just don't give up...

Here is a major hint... we are NOT going to just give you the solution, until AFTER the entry deadline is passed.

Well, since no one else is taking the offer, I'll ask a question.

Is the body that Zelda dragged in the murderer?*

I'm just going to have to wait until tomorrow to think about this. We've got a bunch of family drama going on today

and apparently it has sucked all my brain power. Either that, or I just have no brain power anymore. Maybe the answer will come to me in a dream...

SneakySnake · 11-11-2010, 08:30 PM

I'm off to find dave's epub so I can read it properly!

Maybe I should reread 'Murder on the Orient Express' to be sure I don't come up with the wrong answer that Poirot would have correctly deduced in that story!

I don't know anymore. That strawberry jam has given me a sugar high so high I can't think anymore.

Totally unreasonable.

So, did anyone notice the tweety-bird in the little black dress, and the tune it was singing? Maybe you need to reread all the instalments.

I tried bribing Pooh but I need to spread some love around first, so I guess I'll need to figure it out the traditional way.

Questions:

Is the solution relatively realistic, or should we resort to science fiction, magic, time travel and the like?

Is the murderer a moderator, or could it be anyone appearing in the story?

(I had another question but I forgot...)

Sorry - can't identify individual characters as being/not being the murderer - that's YOUR job!

Depends on what/where your reality is. Strange things happen in the MR building.

Is the murderer a moderator, or could it be anyone appearing in the story?
Hmmm....who had the best/most access to pshrynk -- mods or members?

(I had another question but I forgot...)

Hope these help!

Thanks for the thought DG but it really isn't necessary, I did it for my love of reading, in the spirit of making it easier for my fellow MR members to solve this heinous crime, to immortalize the writings of poohbear, to rewrite certain key chapters so that my guess would be the only right one, to allow for the ....

But since you're telling the tale, if you are lying then we can't trust that anyone who appears to be lying is actually lying since it could be you lying when you tell us what they said and not them lying.

I think I need to lie down now.

Looking at your avatar - you ARE lying down! Maybe you should sit up and drain the excess blood from your brain!

Trust me on this hint! We HAVE to give away the prizes! I want someone to win by actually choosing the correct murderer! It can be done!
