Murder in the Car

Murder in the car

Mr. Boddy told his guests “We are going around inone of my cars.”. The guests were thrilled. Each got onto the limo. Miss Scarlet sat next to Professor Plum. She made sure that the Lead Pipe was in her purse. The professor slid the Candlestick into his black suitcase. Even Mrs. White got to go on the ride. She hid the Revolver in her apron for emergencies. To her left was Mr. Green, who tucked the Knife in his briefcase. Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard were seated together. The Colonel put the Rope under his seat and Mrs. Peacock clutched the Wrench.

Here is a map of the seating arrangements.

During the ride, Mrs. Peacock fell asleep on the Colonel’s lap. He was not happy about it and switched weapons with her, Mrs. White agreed to switch seats with him. While Miss Scarlet turned away Professor Plum exchanged weapons with her. She did not even notice. Then Plum switched seats with Mustard.

Five minutes later…

Mr. Boddy was driving so fast that the guests went crazy, one of the guests that was nearest to him took their weapon and thud! Boddy was dead.

WHO MURDERED BODDY AND WITH WHAT WEAPON?

Solution:

Solution:

PROFESSOR PLUM with the LEAD PIPE

Colonel Mustard switched weapons with Peacock and then switched weapons with her. White switched seats with Mustard. Plum stole the Lead Pipe from Scarlet and exchanged seats with Mustard. Then the two closest guests to Boddy were Green and Plum. The only weapon that could make a loud thud and was possessed by the guest closest to Boddy was the Lead Pipe. Which Plum had. Luckily Mr. Boddy had been very prepared, he brought a helmet just in case they would crash. Because of the helmet, the blow from the Lead Pipe was harmless.
