Introduction

"At precisely 4:44 pm yesterday on Tuesday, lady Irana was stabbed with a dagger. The dagger was precisely 4.04 inches long. The dagger punctured her lung and she bled to death, but not before writing, in her own blood, the letter C. We investigated all the people close to her that had the first name of C. You must now find the killer before they find you. Explore the house, and find the killer so her soul may rest in peace."

Lady Irana Jeremiah is running from her attacker. However, the incline is 3/4 of a foot for every foot she runs forward. If she begins at (0, 0) and runs forward 300 feet, then what is her ending point when she stops running and gets killed? (Answer in feet)

3/4, 300

225, 300

225, 3/4

02

The attacker left a trail of footsteps leading from the crime scene - which happens to be (2, 3) on the map. The last place they were seen were at was (4, 5). If the attacker in this case will only be able to walk 5 miles (meaning 5 squares in a grid), and they will go as far as they can from the starting point (2,3), where do you think the attacker will stop if they are walking in a straight line?

You receive alerts that the attacker is at 8 locations than other the one you have just found. You have 9 squads of fifteen people each. If you decide to split up your troops evenly, how many people will be at each location?

Your troops at the first location you found have discovered 10 arrows: 5 of them up arrows, 1 of them down arrows, 1 of them left arrows, and 3 of them right arrows. On a whim, you decide that since they tend to use the number four so many times, that you would group the arrows in fours. How many different combinations OF FOUR are there if you use one of each arrow type?

You decide to recombine all your troops and then redistribute them to the locations of the different arrow combinations. However, five of the locations lead back to where your troops were stationed previously, so you decide to only put three people there, just in case. How many people are in the other ten locations?

YOU CAN USE A CALCULATOR ON THIS QUESTION. You yourself decide to go to one of the locations. When you arrive there, you discover fingerprints on some piano keys. You press the keys in various orders, and once you find the right one, a magnifying glass. The magnifying glass has a radius of 3 inches. How many inches is the circumference of the magnifying glass?

congratulations

You've found the killer: Charles King King was angry because she denied him, time after time, instead settling for his half-brother (2nd husband). He poisoned him in the hopes she would turn back to him, or possibly just the vicious anger of denial, but she figured it out, and as much as it pained him, she had to be silenced. Forever…
