Alibi Check 3 & 4
One detail in one statement can’t be true. Each alibi has its own help.
TipOpen one step at a time. The answer always asks twice, so nothing gets spoiled by accident.
Alibi 3 · The Steamed Envelope
1NudgeOpen
Open the card in your head. Who already knew what was in it?
Sam’s story holds up. Nothing in it is impossible.
2CloserOpen
It isn’t Uncle Ray either. Read Mrs. Park’s statement again, word by word.
3AnswerAsks twice
This shows the full answer. Sure?
Yes, show me
Mrs. Park. You open the card: a ten-dollar bill and “Get well soon, kiddo.” Nobody had seen inside it, yet Mrs. Park knew the amount. (Uncle Ray really doesn’t know where the kettle is. That is a separate problem.)
Alibi 4 · The Lounge Chair
1NudgeOpen
Lie on your back. Which side of you faces the sun?
Aunt Lina’s story holds up. Nothing in it is impossible.
2CloserOpen
It isn’t Cousin Mia either. Read Grandpa Joe’s statement again, word by word.
3AnswerAsks twice
This shows the full answer. Sure?
Yes, show me
Grandpa Joe. If you lie on your back, your back is pressed against the lounge chair and your front faces the sun. A sunburned back means Joe spent the afternoon somewhere else, bent over the stalls of an outdoor antique market. Joe has a secret. Keep an eye on him.
Every answer is also printed at the back of the book, with its page number.
