So, Am I right to assume that this is a deck of cards we are dealing with here????
Just before I give my explanation......I wanted to clarify....
I'd say she was playing solitaire, and was murdered by a bullet shot through the window...if these are in fact cards. Am I getting warm?

Yes she was playing cards. No she was not playing solitaire. And she was not murdered like that. You can ask me closed ended questions that will result in me saying yes or no.

..!!Ohhh..this is driving me crazy, hunnie!
I love it!
Ok. Now. Bullet through the head. She was shot, then, correct?
How do you get a bullet in your head by murder if not by by getting shot?
She was not playing alone...Wait a minute..Was it an Ice Bullet? Like in James Bond? Also, doesn't a deck of cards have 52 and not 53? That kinda bothers me, too.
Linda , or anybody else, got any ideas on this one? Strip Poker with a crazy ex-boyfriend??

I still don't get it...at what card game did she cheat? Why did her murderer take a card with him/her? I mean, if I shot somebody cheating, I sure as heck wouldn't take a card with me, I would just get the heck out of there...?? You mean it was that easy? Sheesh! Good Work, Linda!...Next!

Good Work, Linda!...Next! i think thats why these things are so hard at first because you concentrate on the more complicated options rather than going for the obvious answer! there was 53 cards so there was an extra one rather than one less so she must have cheated and someone shot her,actually it took so long to work out because i thought that cant be right that someone would kill someone for cheating in a card game but hey, seems these things happen! xx

ok. Yeah. Thanks for explaining. Yeah I know I think of the most complicated possibility, when the answer is often so simple
. Somebody didn't take a card, they found she had an extra on her, was palming it and cheated or something. I love it! I want to find one for you guys next...but I have to make it really hard and maybe factual. I used to do these all the time as kid, and I miss them!

ok. Mine also comes from an actual crime investigation scene...I think
One day,
The police broke into a house when the mailman reported that the occupant, a single man, had failed to retrieve his mail for some days.
He also noticed that the back windows of the home, the ones not facing the street, were open...so that's when he called the cops.
The police entered the home and found the man behind a locked door (they had to break it down) hanging from a rope suspended from a 9 foot high ceiling. The room which the man hung himself was an interior room and had no other doors or windows and was completely empty except for a small drain directly underneath the man....Bwa..hahahha...ha...ha
What happened??

And did you figure out why all the windows were open in the back of the house. That is not part of the brainteaser, it's just sort of extra credit....
Now I've got to think of a Super Duper Hard One!!!

the reason he opened all the windows, was he wanted the warm air coming from the outside (it was during the summer) to blow underneath the door to speed up the melting process, otherwise an inner room with no windows could take awhile. The reason that only the back windows were open was that he did not want to draw attention to anybody who may have been out walking down the street, noticed it, and then busted in and saved him.
Really sad.
ok, maybe just a regular brainteaser next...

ok this is probably too hard but itll be interesting to see should anyone get it, its called einsteins riddle:::::::
Einstein's riddle
There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage.
The question is: Who owns the fish?
Hints:
The Brit lives in the red house.
The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
The Dane drinks tea.
The green house is on the left of the white house.
The green homeowner drinks coffee.
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The man living in the center house drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
The owner who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer.
The German smokes prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.
Einstein wrote this riddle early during the 19th century. He said 98% of the world could not solve it. Just pay attention and be patient.
so good luck all!!!!
