Riddle No. 7

Published by natnat at 2:26 pm under Uncategorized

Hi everybody! Congratulations to Norma, Naomi and Mikhaila! They got it right! The answer was that there were two widows who each had a son. Then each widow married the son of the other widow. After that each couple had a daughter. Here comes the next riddle:

A man was  found murdered one Sunday morning.

His wife immediately called the police.

The police questioned the wife and staff and was given these alibis:

The Wife said she was in bed reading a book.
The Cook claimed she was cooking breakfast.
The Gardener claimed he was planting seeds.
The Maid claimed she was getting the mail.
The Butler claimed he was polishing the silver.
The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

Hope it’s not too hard or not too easy!

    Hi Nat Nat here is my answer!

    My first answer is the Butler.
    Because maybe the butler was cooking food and put poison in it.

    Hi Natnat,
    I’ve heard it as it was on Nadine’s blog, I think :-)
    The answer is the maid did it cause there is no mail on Sunday. Although there is in Australia :lol:
    Naomi :mrgreen:

    Hi Everybody!

    Congratulations to everybody who answered. All of you’s got it right! Momti, Naomi, and Norma! The answer was that it was the maid because there is no post on Sundays, (but there is in Australia, just like Naomi said). Get ready for the next riddle!
