74. The Broken Pot Inside a quiet room lies a shattered clay pot. A small puddle of water has spread across the floor, and beside it are two lifeless bodies. There are no weapons, no signs of violence, and the door has remained closed. What happened to cause their deaths? Added 6 October 2010 Show Hint Show Solution Hint: Think about what sort of “bodies” could not survive without the water that was in the pot. Solution: The two bodies are not people at all but fish. The clay pot was their improvised fishbowl. When the pot fell and broke, the water spilled out, leaving the fish without the water they needed to breathe, and they died.
