    An investigator is looking at the car of Mr.Bob, he was shot in the head while he was in the car. All the windows were rolled up, the doors were locked and there was no outside damage to the car or attemp at breaking in. There was no physical damage to the car but yet he was shot in the head when he was in the car. How is this possible? ][ sorry for all the repeats. Not thinking right now. ][

    The shooter was in the car, shot Mr. Bob, and locked and shut the door while leaving.

    Or the other suggestion works.

    How can you be sure he was shot when he was in the car? Maybe he got shot and then jumped in the car, locked all the stuff and died?

    Or maybe he got shot, then rolled up the windows, and the assassin drove away?

    Or the other two work.

    Bob was murdered by his wife; it has happened like this:


    The wife wanted to murder Bob. She came to the car with a small ice box wrapped in a scarf. She let the box on her seat and went away. The box contained an ice-gun made from ice. When the ice was partially melted the meganism was triggered and the gun shooted. The box was made and constructed to shoot at the driver sitting on the next seat. The box/gun was completely made from ice. So when the inspector came there was no gun and Bob was dead. (That means if there was no gun found, otherwise it would have been suicide as sugested above)

    any of the previous plus whoever it was had the car keys.

    Or the dude was shot and then placed inside the car.
    Or he got shot through the sun roof... those don't roll up.

    Or it was one of those old cars whose windows open to the side.
    Or it was a carriage type car...

    quite possible.

    you know this one?

    Jack Black was walking home after drinking too much beer. He staggered along in the middle of the road dressed all in black. Suddenly a car with no headlights turned the corner & raced towards him. There were no streetlights and no moonlight but the car swerved and missed him. How did the driver manage to see him in time?

    The car was a police car and the driver knew he could not see where he was going since he made the turn around the corner because this new road had no lights. So he turned on the spotlight.

    Well, I didn't really wanted to put this riddle forward as a riddle but more as an example how some riddles do not mention the obvious (the sollution of cosmnictraveler) this Jack Black riddle is of such sort, namely the solution is they see him because it's in the daylight, nothing in the riddle states it was night but you are led to believe so: possibly then the dead in the car riddle can be of such sort too...

    Captain Frank and Proffessor Quantam Played Chess. The played seven Games, each won the same number of games, and there weren't any draws or Stalemates. How is this possible?

    with a name like professor quantum, maybe they played a quantum version of chess, and therefore each won each game. They each also lost each game. And they also played to draw in each game.

    Is your horrible capitalization part of the answer to the riddle?

    Those seven games played were probably in a row, not cumulative, so one (or more so long as the total games remain even) was played in the past and those seven games were played in one sitting.

    That or during one of the games, towards the end, their dog or cat ran by, jumped on the board which ended one of the games but took so long to qualify as a complete game yet not a win for either? Heh.

    Lol and yeah, is Professor Quantum Played Chess his whole name? Did you botch a few capitalizations or maybe the first "the" not supposed to be there and it's one long sentence saying that they played seven games and because the guy's name is Chess, it makes you think they played that game?
