Hey guys! How many riddles did you get right?

[carni]

For the second riddle, I have to argue that the answer was rather illogical.

There could have been someone in 'his' room that would have opened the door for him.

It was the fact that he said 'Wrong room' and went for the direction of the elevators instead of his room, which raised my suspicion. Anyone else agree?

[BLCKMTH]

It's not fair to have a riddle that leaves out important information. Like the guy with the gunshot wound in his car. If you leave out the information about what kind of car it is, the only way you can get that question right is if you simply guess. But when a riddle is designed to make someone guess it becomes unfair as there are too many possibilities. Also, My guess was that he was shot, but survived, got in his car and then bled out after locking himself inside, attempting to get further away. Which is just as good a possibility as the car being a convertible. Both answers are completely plausible, therefore no detective could possibly conclude that there is not entry point in the car because the roof was down, as there are many other possibilities, which again, makes this riddle unfair.

Same with the riddle of the fly in the coffee, how are we to know that she put sugar in her coffee? Are we supposed to guess? Because if we are supposed to assume that she likes sugar in her coffee, then that means we can also assume/guess other things like maybe there was a specific stain on the cup that she recognized, or maybe the fly was still in it, or maybe she simply saw him bring back the same cup.

When riddles intentionally leave out information that is key to the answer, it makes the riddle unfair and in my opinion, is no longer a riddle worthy of deduction. If you read this I thank you, even if this comment gets no replies I hope someone reads it because these so called "riddles" really annoy me.

The answer of the second one can also be that since he went to the elevator, he couldn't have had his room on the same floor, and therefore couldn't have mistaken it for his room

What if the man jumped from the roof and not the window

*All flaws in the riddles:*
9. Hotel Room:
- the woman could have been suspicious because the man left towards the elevators.
- it is plausible that the man knocked because he was staying with someone and didn't have a key. I've knocked on my own hotel room door many times.

7. Ice Tea:
- the animations do not match up as there are no ice cubes depicted in the ice tea. So here we have to assume that the women have ice in their drink.

6. Mysterious death in the car:
- again, we have to assume information about the type of car, which does not make it a riddle.
- the man also could have been shot, then locked himself in his car before bleeding out.

5. Fly in coffee:
- how are we to know that she put sugar in her coffee? Are we supposed to guess? Because if we are supposed to assume that she likes sugar in her coffee, then that means we can also assume/guess other things like maybe there was a specific stain on the cup or lipstick on it that she recognized, or maybe she simply saw him bring back the same cup.

4, In court for killing the wife:
- this is by far the stupidest riddle... the riddle states "Everybody in the room, including the judge and jury, turns and looks at the door." This should include the man who killed his wife.

3. A case of a smuggler:
- how are we to assume that he doesn't smuggle clothes, or hats, or shoes into the country as he would be wearing them as well.
- plus, "smuggle" is not the correct word to use here. By definition, smuggling is the act of "moving (goods) illegally into or out of a country." It is not illegal to bring bikes in and out of countries, even if those bikes are stolen. This is a very misleading use of the word smuggle.

All the others are fine (although a little misleading).
Thanks for reading XD

i remember bingewatching detective mystery solving videos when i was 10 and this channel is one of those. now i'm a few years away from studying psychology at a university with a vast understanding of human behaviour considering that i'm only 16. coming back to these types of videos really brought back memories and nostalgia.

[josephjeon]

I would sue the police if detectives actually solved cases like this

[jlhedits]

wait but the riddle with the guy that was accused of killing his wife.... it was stated that " *everybody* in the room, turned and looked at the door" leaving me under the impression that every single person in the room was facing the door but the answer contradicted the riddle itself idk if I should be angry or what

6:47 My mom tought me that if there's something nasty in your food, like a hair or bug or something, put a LOT of salt on it before sending it back. If you get your food back and it's salty, then you know they gave you the same food.

[raejuniper]

are you trying to tell me those ice cubes didn’t melt the slightest bit when she had 5 iced teas, also who drinks 5 iced teas???

[scriptedjava]

Real detectives on a case take weeks, months, or even YEARS to solve a case. Despite the easiness of these, there’s no real comparison. 15 seconds? Really?

[knowberries]

*Who else thinks that the questions are not well explained ????*

[careforicebear]

I have a question about the fly in coffee riddle. How are we supposed to know that she put the sugar on the table in the coffee?!?!

[janoschkovasiipi]

I tought he was smuggling him self😂🤦🏿‍♂️

[choudharysahabmusic]

Case 6: The man might had been shot first and then he tried to escape and get into the car but died of bleeding.

[laurenbray]

There’s not enough detail, especially the fly in the coffee, you should’ve said that she had previously put sugar in her coffee.

[icanthandlehobisboogieboot]

I didn't solve many.
But I'm playing the: *English isn't my first language and I couldn't understand everything.* - Card
