my dear detective today you'll have to deal with the mafia you're going to need all your thinking and analytical skills and the power of deduction concentrate and let's start look at these two couples the one on the left is wearing outfits that must have cost them a pretty penny and they're eating lobsters if you look attentively you can also spot a few scars on their faces as for the other couple the man and woman have similar tattoos on their neck and keep their bags in their laps under the table your task is to figure out which couple belongs to the mafia it's the couple on the right can you see several passports peeking out of their bags they're probably hiding behind false identities and are ready to escape at any time accused of stealing some chickens from a farm jack was locked up in an empty cell in the local jail his cell had a dirt floor and a small window overlooking distant Hills there was nothing inside except for a shovel Jack was determined to break out and prove his innocence unfortunately the window was too high to reach and digging a tunnel was not a feasible option since the ground beneath the dirt was rock hard Jack didn't have enough strength to dig through through it and still he managed to escape how did he do [Music] it Jack used the shovel to make a pile of dirt almost reaching the window he then climbed the pile and got out of the cell a woman named Kathy went to the police claiming that someone had broken into her house and stolen her diamond bracelet while she had been at work the police officers investigated the crime scene and noticed that the bedroom window was broken there were muddy Footprints all across the floor interestingly the room was otherwise need and organized the following day Kathy was arrested for fraud can you figure out why Kathy was convicted of fraud because the bedroom window was broken from the inside if someone had broken it from the outside there would have been glass pieces on the bedroom floor also the room was perfectly tidy when the police examined it it can only mean that the so-called Thief didn't need to search for jewelry since they knew exactly where it was a detective who was only days away from discovering the identity of a Wanted Gang boss suddenly went missing he left behind just one note with a few numbers currently the police have three suspects their names are Bill lucky and Greg can you crack this code and find the person responsible for The Disappearance of the detective it's Bill if you turn the note upside down it'll read bill is boss a man and a woman enter a crowded room they see many people they've met before the man and the woman enter the room separately but only when one of them comes in music is playing one more person speaks to each of them for some time after the two are finally together in the room the crowd remains quiet for the most part of the process they look pretty happy but when the man and the woman are about to leave the room they see that the crowd is now outside waiting for them as soon as they spot the man and the woman they start shouting and throwing food at them what's going on here and why does the crowd behave this way the answer is simple the man and the woman are getting married and the food thrown at them is rice five people are sitting around a table playing mafia among them there are two innocent citizens two mafiosos and one detective the mafia people know each other the detective knows who each of them is and the innocent people have no information whatsoever ever about anyone at the table during this particular game the innocent citizens and the detective always tell the truth while the mafia people always lie they start by making the following statements one by one a I know who B is B I know who the detective is C I know who B is D I know who e is can you figure out who is who let's try to crack this riddle step by step person a is making an I know statement meaning that they're either a detective or a mafioso not an innocent citizen if they were the detective they would know who B is a mafia member or an innocent person B could not be innocent because then they wouldn't know whether a was lying or telling the truth so then B must be Mafia but if B were Mafia then they would know that a is the detective and thus they wouldn't be able to say they know who the detective is because the mafia always lies so then a must be a mafia member let's call them Mafia 1 then a is lying and does not know who B is which means B is either an innocent citizen or the detective B makes an I know statement so they must be the detective anyone could have figured this out so now even the Innocents know that a is a mafia member and B is the detective thus C does know who B is and since they're telling the truth C must be innocent now we are left with one mafioso and one innocent citizen D knows what they themselves are and thus knows what e is then the statement D makes is true meaning D is also an innocent citizen leaving e to be Mafia too so a is Mafia B is detective C is innocent D is innocent e is Mafia look at this image very carefully can you crack the code the mafia are looking for a
