Whodunnit Daily — Answer for June 29, 2026
Today's case: The Broken Window. A stone shattered the schoolhouse window during recess. 3 kids were out on the field. A hint first, then the culprit and the full reasoning. Tap the blacked-out box to reveal.
The statements
- Vic: “It was Mira.”
- Liv: “It was Vic.”
- Mira: “It was Vic.”
Hint
Two people point the same way. If they're right, the accused is the one who must be lying — which is exactly what the guilty one does.
The culprit
Guilty: Vic
Why (step by step)
Suppose Vic did it, then test every statement against the rules. Vic said “It was Mira.” — a lie, and since just one person lies, the guilt lands here. Liv said “It was Vic.” — that is TRUE, which is exactly what an innocent suspect must say — fine. Mira said “It was Vic.” — true — and since the innocent never lie, that fits. Every statement lines up under this assumption, so Vic is guilty. Swap in anyone else and an innocent is forced to lie (or the guilty one ends up truthful) — both forbidden — leaving Vic as the only logically consistent answer.
