Last Month’s Riddle: The Missing Dog

On the first day of school, a dog was reported kidnapped. The police questioned three teachers who were all considered suspects. Each was asked what they were doing at exactly 8am.

  • Mrs. Walter: “I was driving to school, and I was running late.”
  • Mr. Thomas: “I was at home checking English exam papers.”
  • Mr. Benjamin: “I was reading the morning newspaper.”

Based on their responses, who is the most likely kidnapper: Mrs. Walter, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Benjamin, all three teachers, or none of them?

Solution: Mr. Thomas – as he cannot be checking exam papers on the first day of school!
