The 30 Second Mystery 7 - Who? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Peetster · 01-16-2004, 04:24 AM

There are four categories: Who, What, Where and Why. Some will be easy, some not. I have as many as six clues to help you along, which I'll supply as needed.

Please limit yourself to one guess, and another guess for each clue I supply. No questions allowed. Partially correct answers won't be acknowledged.

You guys are pretty freaking smart. Let's see how this goes.

The Case:
With no apparent motive, a young man commits a savage attack in his neighborhood. The man's community knows about the incident, but cannot implicate him. The man's conscience eats at him until he confesses and turns himself in for punishment.

The Mystery:
Who is the man and what weapon did he use in his attack?

LStanley · 01-16-2004, 05:37 AM

Superman and the lil ship he rode in on???

thats about as close as I can get..... I have no clue

Peetster · 01-16-2004, 06:51 AM

Clue: The police were not involved.

Redlemon · 01-16-2004, 07:30 AM

(aside; I should have 1 point deducted from my score in Round 3, as I said MLK, not MLK Jr.)

Peetster · 01-16-2004, 08:55 AM

Clue: No blood appeared on the weapon.

(-1 redlemon for missing Jr., -10 me for missing it)

sipsake · 01-16-2004, 08:58 AM

who: a TFPer
weapon: a keyboard

/I got nothin'

Peetster · 01-16-2004, 10:59 AM

Clue: The weapon could be held in one hand or two.

Redlemon · 01-16-2004, 11:06 AM

Peetster · 01-16-2004, 11:29 AM

I'm thinking a kid with a magnifying glass frying ants...

onionmon · 01-16-2004, 12:11 PM

Snowball fight! A kid with the "weapon" aka snowball

[edit] --- a man with a nuclear bomb blows up the whole neighborhood, thus the "comunity can't do anything about it. 1st, no blood, -- hell there's no bodies. 2nd, the police are dead, 3rd, preferably 2 hands, but if ur strong enough... 4, he goes around destorying more towns, boom, there ya go. answer

Jack the ripper

triad · 01-16-2004, 01:28 PM

The man could have lived in some villiage in africa, and made a [sic]"savage" attack the town...

He couldn't be implicated because ppl couldn't prove conspiracy...

Just thinking outta the box,

I'm sure this phrase is important, but it confuses me. I can't tell if the community knows about HIM, or just the incident.

OTOH, I've tried it both ways and I'm still coming up blank.

micah67 · 01-16-2004, 02:03 PM

Man: Gardener
Weapon: Lawn mower

Yeah...it's the phrase I'm having problems with as well...

Peetster · 01-16-2004, 02:37 PM

I like how you guys think. Lots of great guesses. This should help...

Clue: The man went on to become a famous father

micah67 · 01-16-2004, 02:39 PM
