¿Serías un buen detective?

¿Eres de esos que sabe quién es el asesino desde el principio de la película? ¿Has leído los relatos de Sherlock Holmes, o de Poirot, y crees que eso lo hace cualquiera?
Desde el Departamento de Inglés te proponemos unos pequeños acertijos para que saques al detective que llevas dentro. ¡Esperamos soluciones!

1. How could a child fall out of a twenty-story building onto the ground and live?

2. There are six eggs in the basket. Six people each take one of the eggs. How can it be that one egg is left in the basket?

3. Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a suspected murderer. They don't know what he looks like but they know his name is John and that he is inside the house. The police find a carpenter, a lorry driver, a mechanic and a fireman all playing poker. Without hesitation or communication of any kind, they immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know they've got their man?

4. A man is wearing black. Black shoes, socks, trousers, coat, gloves and ski mask. He is walking down a back street with all the street lamps off. A black car is coming towards him with its light off but somehow manages to stop in time. How did the driver see the man?

5. A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' and walks out.
