One snowy night, Sherlock Holmes was in his house sitting by a fire. All of a sudden a snowball came crashing through his window, breaking it. Holmes got up and looked out the window just in time to see three neighborhood kids who were brothers run around a corner. Their names were John Crimson, Mark Crimson and Paul Crimson.
The next day Holmes got a note on his door that read ‘? Crimson. He broke your window.’

Max leaves a $100,000 dollar bill on his desk and leaves work. When Max returns the money is gone.
He has three suspects: the cook, the cleaning lady, and the mail guy. The cooksays he put the money under a book on his desk to keep it safe. They check and it is no longer there. The maid says she moved it when she was cleaning to the inside of the book between page 1 and 2. They open the book and look between page number 1 and 2 but it isn’t there. The mail guy says he saw it sticking out of the book and to keep it safe he moved it to between page number 2 and 3.
