Solution 1: The killer always takes the remaining pill. Since the victims swallow the pill with water, the killer ensures their own safety by taking the pill without water, guaranteeing they don't ingest the poisonous one.

An elderly woman lived alone in her suburban house. One morning, the mailman found her dead. The police discovered Tuesday’s newspaper near the body and three unopened bottles of milk by the door, one of which had gone bad. How did the police quickly identify the killer?
Solution 4: The presence of Tuesday's newspaper indicated that the woman had been dead for at least a few days. Since one of the milk bottles had gone bad, it meant that the killer had put the milk bottles outside after Tuesday but before Friday, which made them the prime suspect.
Riddle 5: Friend Turned Foe:
Amy visits her friend Maria’s house on a wintry evening and discovers her dead. Amy claims she knocked on the door and rang the bell repeatedly, and upon looking through the frozen window, she noticed Maria’s body on the floor. The police suspect Amy of being the murderer. Are they correct?

The deadly chemical smells like almonds.” Which bottle is the deadly one?
Solution 6: The bottle that smells like almonds is the deadly one. Almonds have a distinct smell, and if the chemist specifically mentions it, it means the deadly chemical is in the bottle with the corresponding smell.

The absence of such evidence indicates that Cathy staged the burglary.Â
Riddle 18: The Old Woman Who Lived Alone:
An elderly woman lived alone in her house in the suburbs. One morning, the mailman found her murdered.

How did the police identify the killer so quickly?
Solution 18: The presence of Tuesday's newspaper and the fact that only one milk bottle had gone bad suggests that the murder happened on Monday. Since the mailman didn't receive a response from the elderly woman on Friday, it implies that she was already dead. Therefore, the killer must have been someone who knew she wouldn't answer the door because she was already dead. The delivery of fresh milk on Friday further confirmed the suspicion, leading to the quick arrest of the killer.
Riddle 19: Friend Turned Foe:
Amy visits her friend Maria’s house on a wintry evening and discovers Maria dead. Amy explains that she knocked on the door and rang the bell repeatedly. As she noticed a light on in one of the rooms, she decided to look through the window. The windows were frozen, so she breathed on the iced glass and saw Maria’s body on the floor. The police suspect Amy of being the murderer. Are they correct?
Solution 19: The police suspect Amy because, to breathe on the iced glass, she must have been close to the window. However, if the windows were frozen, it means they were closed. If Amy knocked on the door and rang the bell repeatedly, Maria would have heard it and opened the door. The fact that Amy had to look through the window indicates that the door was locked or Maria was unable to open it. Therefore, the police are correct in suspecting Amy.

- The chef was preparing appetizers.
- The gardener was watering the plants.
- The host was greeting the guests.
Who is the thief?

Additionally, three unopened bottles of milk were by the door, one of which had gone bad. The killer was arrested the next day. How did the police figure it out so quickly?
Solution 25: The presence of Tuesday's newspaper near the body suggests that the woman had been dead since Tuesday. Since the milk bottles were delivered on Friday, it means the killer had been in the house for a few days, and one of the bottles went bad. This indicates that the killer knew the woman's routine and was present in the house before Friday.
Riddle 26: Friend Turned Foe:
Amy goes to her friend Maria’s house on a wintry evening and finds her dead. When questioned by the police, Amy explains that she knocked on the door and rang the bell repeatedly.

Are they correct, or is it just one of those riddles with no definite answer?
Solution 26: The police are incorrect in suspecting Amy. If Amy were the murderer, she wouldn't have needed to breathe on the window to see Maria's body since she was already aware of the crime.

Solution 27: The harmless chemical is water, while the lethal one is hydrochloric acid.
