:thumbs2:

I contend that the prison isn't even on the island. Problem doesn't state it is. Shoelaces as above... he just walked away; was never on the island in the first place.

You Lnow, today could be a very good day for non-American MindTrap players.

The strings were ties to a big kite and he glided up to the mainland

Good one, but no.

The water is FROZEN. He walked on the ice to escape.

The strings are for skates or snowshoes or skis.

I'm giving you 2 bonus points on top of the 3 you earned, because it was a hard one and you're Canadian. We all know Canadians rule.

Shadow was just about to board his flight to the West Coast when his assistant approached him and begged him not to fly.

When Shadow enquired about the strange request, the junior detective said that the previous night he had had a terrible dream that Shadow's plane would crash. Shadow turned away and boarded the plane without a word.

When he landed, he phoned back to his office and ordered the immediate dismissal of his young assistant.

Why?



__________
Shadow's young assistant was supposed to be on a stake-out the night he claimed to have had this dream.
He was obviously sleeping on the job.

because the plain had to make an emergency landing due to sabotage.

or because the plain did not crash, he know the young detective's instincts were wrong, which is a major detriment to detective work

the assistant was working the night before and shouldnt have been sleeping and dreaming on the job

Another 3 + Canadian exchange rate bonus for you.

It is a hot summer day and Shadow is summoned to a field located several kilometres from the city centre. Shadow surveys the scene.

A frozen corpse lies in the freshly tilled field and strangely, there are no footprints anywhere around the body. The closest marks are tyre tracks from a tractor more than 50 metres away. A farmer, who had been working in the field all day, said he had not seen anyone or anything unusual.

How did the person die and turn up frozen in an open field?



__________
The person was a stowaway hidden in the landing gear of a jumbo jet.
He died of hypothermia and froze in the stratosphere. When the plane's landing gear opened, the corpse fell out and landed in the open field.

he was a stowaway in a plane hiding with the wheels, he froze while in high altitude and when the plane lowered the wheels to prepare for landing he fell into the field
