"Who is The Killer?"

An eighty-year-old person was living alone in his house. On a sunny Friday morning, while delivering some letters in the mailbox, the postman felt suspicious and decided to look through the window of the house. That’s when he saw the old man lying dead on the floor in a puddle of blood. When the police arrived, they found three bottles of milk, the Tuesday’s newspaper, and some gifts in front of the house. The lock of the door was broken, and they already suspected a person.

Whom and why?

He might be the murderer! 

Little Mistake By The Murderer!

What was the incident?

The police suspected the newspaper straightaway.

Since there were 3 bottles of milk, it's clear that the old man died 3 days ago i.e. on Tuesday & milkman didn't have idea of it. Hence, he has dropped milk bottles there. 

But the newspaper boy knew that the old man is no more in this world hence he didn't drop newspaper since Wednesday.

The Newspaper Puzzle : Solution

What was the puzzle?

If the page starts with odd number 1 & back side followed by even 2 then at the back of page number 45, there must be number 46.

Generally, for the page p, page 65 - p shares the same sheet as p. Like page 1 and 65-1 =64, page 2 and 65-2=63 page are on the same sheet.

Therefore, page 45 must be on the same sheet as 65 - 45 = 20 page number. And the page 46 must be on the same sheet as page 65 - 46 = 19.

In short, the pages 19,20,45 and 46 must be on the same sheet.
