MURDER RIDDLES

1. Iced Tea

Two girls ate dinner together.
They both ordered iced tea.

One girl drank them very fast
and had finished five in the time
it took the other to drink just one.

The girl who drank one died
while the other survived.
All of the drinks were poisoned.

How did the girl who drank the most survive?


I will be updating this thread if anyone answered the correct one to the riddle.

I know this one. Poisoned ice cubes didn't have time to melt and release the poison. What I don't know is what kind of poison you'd have to use to manufacture a poisoned ice cube. If the poison is water-soluble (and it seems it would have to be) it would act as a freezing-point depressant, and the sub-zero ice cubes would freeze the drink rather than melt. Maybe if it was an extremely potent poison, so you didn't need enough of it to lower the freezing point, but such poisons are difficult to obtain. A non-soluble poison could work, but would be difficult to avoid detection. It would be more sensible to just poison the drink itself. Why can't the assassins in these riddles ever do things sensibly?

Your correct! In short, the poison was in the ice,  the one who drink it slowly gets the poison cause its melted.

2. Dinner Time

A woman shoots her husband,
then holds him under water for  five minutes.

A little while later, they both  go out
and enjoy a wonderful dinner tonight.

How can this be?

3. Cassette Tape

A man was found dead with a cassette recorder
in one hand and a gun in the other.

When the police came in, they immediately
pressed the play button on the cassette.

He said "I have nothing else to live for."
I can't go on, then the sound of a gunshot.

After listening to the cassette tape, the police
knew that it was not a suicide, but a homicide.

How did they know?

2. The woman "shot" her husband with a camera and then developed it.

3. If the man had shot himself, the tape recorder would have to be rewound before the police could hit play.
