    Mystery
In summary, a boy was found dead in a room with a rope around his neck, lying in water. The room had no windows and only one entrance which was locked from the inside. The only objects in the room were a chair, the rope connected to the boy's neck, and an empty top with two pins. The question posed is to solve this as a detective. This is not a homework assignment but rather a question posted out of interest. The conversation also mentions a similar situation in the movie Three Days of the Condor and a car problem discussed on Car Talk involving frozen water in tires.

Ahh the opening of the old Three Days of the Condor movie with Robert Redford.

Also the Car Talk guys had a similar one with water in the tires, freezing in the morning causing the tire to be unbalanced giving a rough ride. However when the car owner brings the car into be inspected no problem was found because the day got warmer and the ice melted and evenly coated the inside of the tire presrving the balance.
