A few friends meet at a guesthouse. In the wake of the night, Aleph is killed by someone among them. Before Aleph breathes for the last time, he cleverly writes and marks something on his pocket calendar, careful not to write the name of the killer because he knows the killer is smart enough to get rid of any evidence. The police arrive at the crime scene and search for the evidence; not able to find any. Then they find a pocket calendar inside the inner pocket of the vic jacket. Attached is the image of the pocket calendar. Can you guess the name of the killer even though you don’t know the name of the friends?

Henry has been caught stealing cattle and is brought into town for justice. The judge is his ex-wife Gretchen, who wants to show him some sympathy, but the law calls for two shots to be taken at Henry from close range. To make things a little better for Henry, Gretchen tells him she will place two bullets into a six-chambered revolver in successive order. She will spin the chamber, close it, and take one shot. If Henry is still alive, she will then either take another shot, or spin the chamber again before shooting.

Henry is a bit incredulous that his ex-wife would carry out the punishment, and a bit sad that she was always such a rule follower. He steels himself as Gretchen loads the chambers, spins the revolver, and pulls the trigger. Whew! It was blank. Then Gretchen asks, ‘Do you want me to pull the trigger again, or should I spin the chamber a second time before pulling the trigger?’

What should Henry choose?
