Lgbariddle!! One winter night, a wealthy man was murdered. The police interrogated an eye witness regarding the identity of the killer. The witness told this story, "I was walking down the street when i noticed some silhouettes struggling from the man's house. I ran to the window of the house and tried to open it but it was locked. So, I wiped the frost off the glass to get a better view. That's when I saw the killer shoot the victim." After the witness told his story, the police arrested the witness for killing the victim. How did they know the witness was the killer?

May I post it? :D

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

if no one can do it then sure

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

didnt think it'll be solved that fast lol

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

not that dumb, are we, eh? ;]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

indeed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant get it :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats silhouettes struggling from the man's house?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

the silhouettes of the killer and the victim struggling

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i get it :)

Parth (parthkohli):

How could he see it outside? like the killer was killed inside right? :/

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yeah

Parth (parthkohli):

Is that the answer? shall I delete it now?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it's not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if there was frost on the window how can he see the silhouettes. so the police caught him.. maybe

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

how does that relate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm.. ok that was a stupid guess so i present another guess there is frost inside the window not outside due to high level of moisture so maybe cops caught him lying... how is this for a guess

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

what do you think @apoorvk ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was that another dumb guess

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

:D :D :D If the interior of the house is at a higher temperature (since it's winter), the frost is supposed to develop on the inside of the window pane. So this guy was lying, and hence was caught. Your guess is explosive like your name @Rdx ;)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it was right @Rdx dont worry haha

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

but apoorv was the first to get it :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm.. my first guess was based on the fact that the silhouettes would be blur so the old man could not have guessed that what was going in, but when read the question again i realised that nowhere u have mentioned that the guy was anyways. it was fun and congrats apoorvk on being the first guy to do it.
