Alibi Check 1 & 2
One detail in one statement can’t be true. Each alibi has its own help.
TipOpen one step at a time. The answer always asks twice, so nothing gets spoiled by accident.
Alibi 1 · The Open Window
1NudgeOpen
Which travels faster: light or sound?
Aunt Lina’s story holds up. Nothing in it is impossible.
2CloserOpen
It isn’t Grandpa Joe either. Read Sam’s statement again, word by word.
3AnswerAsks twice
This shows the full answer. Sure?
Yes, show me
Sam. Light travels about a million times faster than sound, so you always see the lightning before you hear its thunder. Sam’s storm happened backwards. Sam was in your room, “borrowing” your phone charger, and forgot the window.
Alibi 2 · The Power Outage
1NudgeOpen
What needed electricity between 2 and 4?
Mrs. Park’s story holds up. Nothing in it is impossible.
2CloserOpen
It isn’t Cousin Mia either. Read Uncle Ray’s statement again, word by word.
3AnswerAsks twice
This shows the full answer. Sure?
Yes, show me
Uncle Ray. There was no power from 2 to 4, so there was no microwave soup. Mia’s laptop runs on its battery and her movies were already downloaded, so her story holds. Uncle Ray was in the kitchen, all right: at the freezer, with a spoon.
Every answer is also printed at the back of the book, with its page number.
