So nobody got it. Hrm.

You have been trying to solve season one, episode two of the British TV show Jonathan Creek.

The murderer is, in fact, still in the room. The clue was the placement of the drain pipe in the floor. The toilet would never fit over it without impeding the wall.



The murderer coerced the victim into the panic room, shot him, then locked the door. He then took a slow acting poison and bricked himself in on the back wall. It's interesting that people mentioned the butler and the idea of a gun tied to an elastic, because both of those idea came up in the TV show. In the end, though, it was the drain pipe that led the protagonist to figure it out. A bit esoteric, yes, but I didn't think it was too bad.

Since no one won, it's anybody's turn who wants it.

Hmm. I don't know about your toilet, but on mine the drain pipe is below the cistern, not the bowl. It snakes back then down. Without seeing the side of the toilet I'm not sure we would have been able to figure it out.

I've got one.

You know we're going to say go for it!

Thank you Musicman!

My puzzle might be called a game of numbers.

Assuming I am correct, I have no puzzle again so someone else may of course go. I just like to solve these without ever having a new one in mind. I suppose I could always find one online, but I figure let someone else go who may have one of their own design.

That is correct, Scribbane!
An alternative solution could be:


I have another quickie puzzle:

Again, same thing if I am correct. I'm also going to bed now so you won't have to worry about me getting anymore for now haha.

Scribbane got it again!
I have more puzzles of various kinds, but I'll wait for someone else to post their own.

Hey scribbs, are you taking the next puzzle or is it open?

scrib doesn't post puzzles, so I would say go ahead if you have one.

For a moment I forgot what this thread was, and I was thinking "Man, is this my reputation around here? ZeRoc posts puns, Avron has a battleship, and scrib doesn't post puzzles." Then I realized I was being slightly idiotic. But to answer the question directly, no I'm not posting, take it if you want.

Go ahead and post a puzzle, Vendetta!

I am just asking because I want the thread to keep going. I'm no good at writing puzzles :c

No problem, I always have a puzzle ready.

The answer is incorrect.

Hint:

Kinda far fetched but I put my hands in the air like I don't really care.

I am happy to hear that 38 is your favourite number , but it's not relevant to the puzzle. The answer is incorrect.

Nice reasoning, but the answer is wrong.
As I said, the puzzle requires a very unorthodox approach.

Ahh, I've been racking my brain so hard over this puzzle. Damn you Norroen! :p I've tried a number of quite unorthodox approaches, but so far none of them have produced an answer.

The puzzle isn't hard, there's really nothing to rack your brains over. It is what you might call an attentiveness test.

Yes! Got it . Not without hints, but still...
