All right except number 2. Read it carefully and look for clues.

[SuperBeaverInc.]

@bobgote- they are all alive(from what I know)

 

[Pontiuth Pilate]

I'm totally stumped, what's the answer then?

 

[Tassadar]

All other are women, the fireman is the only man.

 

[devilzExcremNt]

ok then is tassador right?

 

[stratego]

cos all the rest are dead

They can't be dead, they're playing cards

I think tassadar is right

 

[devilzExcremNt]

well what other possiblities are there? *thinks*

phhh, you've never played cards with dead people?

 

[devilzExcremNt]

if you look closely the riddle fives you the hints... they bold the word 'his' and 'a' carpenter, meaning it doesn't have to be a man, right? and then there's 'a' car mechanic... how do they know they've got their MAN?

 

[bobgote]

maybe they're just really bad policemen who just arrest people with no cause.

or maybe they knew the guy. police and fire departments work closely sometimes.

maybe the detective takes his kid to the same kindergarten as the fireman's kid, and they have a chat when they both arrive to pick up their children.

Its funny because this enigma wont work in french ( my native language) because,

1.- carpenter man in french is ''charpentier" but a women will be ''charpentierE", notice the E( it doesnt need to be capital letter) at the end, which mean female. But in english ( if i am right) there is no difference between a female or male , both are carpenter.

maybe the victim still has an ax in his back, and the ax has the fire department logo on it
