*Gamera killed *Moriarty in the Dining Room with the Lead Pipe.

Correct!

A new crime!


The Guests:

*Gamera
*Moriarty
*Reading is FUNdamental


Weapons:
Candlestick
Knife
Lead Pipe
Revolver
Rope

Rooms:
Ballroom
Conservatory
Dining Room
Kitchen
Study

How this works -

One of the guests is murdered. One of the guests is the murderer.
One of the weapons has been used. And what room did this all happen in?

I am going write who it is in quoted text - do not cheat!

You can only ask me YES or NO questions ("Was it in the Lounge?" / "Does the victim's name begin with a vowel?" / "Is in a room with more than 5 letters in it?" / "Is the weapon metal?", etc etc)

And only ONE question per post - and can not ask another until I answer you.

You must learn:
The Murderer / The Victim / The Weapon / The Location

When you think you've figured it out - as you will see everyone else's responses in the thread - post in here "Solution"...

The situation (do not check the spoiler!)

Murderer: *Reading is FUNdamental / Victim: *Gamera / Weapon: Knife / Location: Kitchen .....................................................

OK, let's go. Does the reader's name have more than eight letters in it?

Is the weapon used for bludgeoning?

Uh-oh, looks like I made an error in my question. Let me re-phrase it: Does the MURDERER'S name have more than eight letters in it?

No.

Yes.

Does the location have anything to do with food?

Is the victim a handsome giant turtle?

Yes to both.

Was *Gamera killed in the kitchen?

Was the weapon a knife?

All yes.

So whoever makes the final statement....

Based on my computations, ReadingIsFUNdamental killed Gamera with a knife in the kitchen.

I did?! But ... I was reading in the study! Honest to badness, officer! =P
