Today's Today Break Theme is Whodunit? (Detective Edition). Completion of this Daily Break will be worth 75 oodles. Part 1: Reconstruct the Crime Scene - This is a window game. As the detective, it's your job to put the events of the crime in logical order. 1st - Culprit enters through window2nd - Guards are immobilized3rd - Declaration is removed4th - Police arrive on scene 5th - No fingerprints or footprints foundPart 2 - Corroborate the Evidence. This is a card matching game. One is being asked to match the 6 matching pieces of evidence behing the cards. The pictures are those of... Magnifying Glass, Glove, Composition Book, Pipe, Keychain + HatPart 3: The Usual Suspects - The list of suspects are below with questions included. a) Shaggy & Scooby Doo -- Shaggy and Scooby heard a rumor that the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper. So it's not inconceivable that they'd go to the National Archives in D.C. to get their hands (and paws) on some patriotic herb. To track them down, you'll need to know the name of their van. What's it called? - The Mystery Machineb) Sherlock Holmes - As a Brit, Sherlock Holmes may resent the fact that a bunch of American "peasants" rose up against the Crown. So what better way to exact his revenge than by stealing the document that sealed the deal? The first step to finding Sherlock: visit his apartment. Where is it? - 2218 Baker Street, London.c) Nancy Drew - All men are created equal...but what about the womenfolk? As a super-smart, self-reliant lady, it's possible that Nancy Drew got ticked off by the Founding Fathers phraseology and decided to take action. To find Nancy, you'll have to do your homework: What was her first mystery? - The Secret of the Old Clockd) Inspector Gadget - Like Nancy Drew, Inspector Gadget might take exception to the line, "all men are created equal." After all, the inspector is a cyborg: part human, part robot. Alternatively, he could've been programmed (Terminator-style) to commit the crime by his arch nemesis. What's his nemesis's name? - Dr. ClawPart 4: Whodunit? - This is the time to figure out Whodunit? from the 4 usual suspects listed above. Hint: The answer is Inspector Gadget. Clues: Hat left on guard's desk, no fingerprints or footprints left behind (he wears gloves & can fly), alternate nemeses Adams & Jefferson are Declaration writers/signers, "1,776 times" is a reference to the year of American independence. Personal Note: Going back in time with this cartoon. It stars The Inspector is " Les Miserobots".
