Murder Mystery

Aditya

Bill took Pam to Mount Everest in order to go mountain climbing. Unfortunately Pam was found dead after her hook broke while she was climbing up the mountain. Although most of the people were convinced that Pam died of an accident, ONE person was assured that it was a planned murder. Who is that person and how did he/she know?

Here's an extra teaser:

How far can a dog go into the woods?

quark

Bill planned it and so he knew

god, buddah, joseph smith?

JamesU

Bill was the one person because he did it

Rahmuss

Bill would know; but Pam would probably know too.

Here's an extra teaser:

The dog can go all the way IN, which is to the center of the forest, from then on, the dog is going OUT of the forest.

Not sure if that's what you're looking for.

quark

On a second thought I think it is the Blacksmith

Gale

everyone elses answers for who dunnit pretty much match mine... but the dog can only go into the woods a tiny we bitty bit... after that, he's already inside...

Aditya

Rahsmuss was right for the dog problem since after going halfway into the woods you are technically going out of the woods.

For the murder mystery its not Bill or Pam or the Blacksmith.

This one's incredibly difficult to solve since nobody's going to think of this person.

HintIt's the person who sells the airplane tickets

Jimmy Snyder

Answer: Four, or at most five. After that he has to go into the irons.

Artman

Pam's husband, (who, I am guessing is not Bill)weakened a piece of climbing gear to wreck their little rendevouz

Artman

Based on this hint you gave:

It's the person who sells the airplane tickets.

I would say because she mentioned being afraid of heights to the airplane ticket seller. So she would not have gone on a mountain climbing expedition willingly.

It's Aditya, he's the one who made up the riddle!

I agree with Gale17 on the dog, once he's in the woods he's running IN the woods and not INTO the woods.

regor60

The travel agent knows it was Bill because Bill was stupid enough to buy only a one-way ticket for her

matthyaouw

Based on the hint given- The man booked two tickets there, but only booked one ticket back, so the person who sold them knew that he wasn't expecting to return with Pam

Aditya

Yes, regor and matthy are both both right.

I guess I should have rephrased the dog question by writing "How far can the dog run in the woods" instead of into.

Rahmuss

I think it was Godzilla.... I mean... selling Airline tickets is his day-job. He could see all the way to Mt. Everest from Japan, where the couple Bill and Pam were from (since their names are very oriental). He saw when she fell and heard (with his big ears) Bill say : "Ha ha! Now I have murdered Pam and no one will know about it."

Jimmy Snyder

The ticket agent might be suspicious, but ... they could never be 'assured'. There are too many good reasons why a person might buy a one-way ticket. At any rate the puzzle emphasizes that ONE person knew. The only way that could be is if the only person who knows is the perp.
