Michael G. Smith Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I have added another crime puzzle "The Mystery of the Missing Leg". http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=8881 John, I would have to agree with Greg on his point. I dont think that a "battery operated" small type tape recorder could possibly simulate the 'actual" sound of an "actual" shot being fired in the other room, even at full volume. I have to assume that it was this type of recorder, for him to be able to retrieve it in the way described without someone noticing. Just my opinion. I dont mean to put a damper on your "mysterys", and having fun with this! lol! FWIW thanks-smitty Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't mean to be a party-pooper and will make a point of now going and finding my Christmas cheer! Link to post Share on other sites
John Simkin Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 John, I would have to agree with Greg on his point.

I have to assume that it was this type of recorder, for him to be able to retrieve it in the way described without someone noticing. I do not own a gun and therefore cannot test this idea out. However, I would have thought modern technology could reproduce fairly accurately the sound of a gun being fired. I suppose you would need the tape recorder to play at maximum sound volume. The closed door would provide an excuse for why it did not sound exactly right. Just my opinion. I don't mean to put a damper on your "mysterys", and having fun with this! lol!

Don't feel bad for questioning the story. That is what the game is all about. Link to post Share on other sites
