Murder mystery.
There are five people. One of them shot and killed one of the other five. Who is the murderer?
These are the only clues.
1. Dan ran in a marathon yesterday with one of the innocent men.
2. Mike considered being a farmer before he moved to the city.
3. Jeff is a topnotch computer consultant and wants to install Ben's new computer next week.
4. The murderer had his leg amputated last month.
5. Ben met Jack for the first time six months ago.
6. Jack has been in seclusion since the crime.
7. Dan used to drink heavily.
8. Ben and Jeff built their last computers together.
9. The murderer is Jack's brother. They grew up together in Seattle.
Can you solve this without help or cheating?
The murderer is Jeff. Obviously. Can't be Dan because he ran a marathon, and a man who just got his leg amputated isn't able to. Can't be Ben because he just met Jack six months ago, but the murderer is Jack's brother, so he would have known him his whole life. Can't be Mike because the murderer grew up in a city, while Mike lived in the countryside before. Can't be Jack himself. So it must be Jeff. But the real question is, who got killed?
