You know that feeling you get, when you know something weird is happening? When you wish to solve a mystery?
Here's one.
It was a sunny day in January, a day where you were expecting nothing unusual. Your teacher just asked you to line up for Phys. Ed. when a strange announcement is made.
"Class, listen up! I had 2 highlighter pens. One blue, one pink. I can't find them. Did anyone here take them?"
When the line starts moving whispering starts.
A month later, another announcement is made.
"Class, remember a month ago, I lost 2 highlighter pens? They were cheap and replacable. Now, I had a small white calculator that was very expensive and dear that was given to me on Mother's Day from my son. It has disapeared! I lock the door at luch, but don't bother at recesses. Did anyone here take it, or know who did. This is getting serious and if it doesn't show up soon, I will tell the principal and phone the police!"
Silence. A low buzzing.
After school, you know how you bet something with a friend? I did. We bet that the solver would be ourself.
Think about the data:
-doors are open at recesses
-whispering
-flinching
-class members
-other class members
What do you think?
