4. Murder Mystery
Four guests (Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlett, Ms. Green) attend a dinner party at the home of Mr. Boddy. Suddenly, the lights go out!
When they come back, Mr. Boddy lies dead in the middle of the table.
Everyone is a suspect.
Upon further examination, the following facts come to light:
- Mr. Boddy was having an affair with Ms. Green.
- Professor Plum is married to Ms. Green.
- Mr. Boddy was very rich.
- Colonel Mustard is very greedy.
- Miss Scarlett was also having an affair with Mr. Boddy.
There are two possible motives for the murder: hatred and greed. Someone hates someone else if that other person is having an affair with his/her spouse. Someone is willing to commit murder if he/she is greedy and not rich, and the victim is rich.
Who are the suspects?
