John Simkin Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 David Clark received a package in the post. Inside was a man’s left-arm. Clark repackaged the arm and sent it to Roger Miller. After looking at the arm, Miller sent in onto Martin Butler. When he received it he burnt it in the fire. What had happened in the past to make these people behave in this way? You will need to ask questions to solve this mystery. If you have already heard the story before, please do not immediately post the answer.

Guest Kathryn Foong Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Can I ask multiple questions? 1) Is it a real arm (ie. a human arm that came off a body)? 2) Were any of these men part of a plot to kill someone and the arm is evidence? 3) When Martin Butler burnt the arm - was it to get rid of evidence?

John Simkin Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Are the names of the persons involved important, or could you have used different names for the people in this story with the same result? The names are unimportant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Walker Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Was the arm originally part of Martin Butler's body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kathryn Foong Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Is there a significance of the arm being LEFT? If so, has it got anything to do with the ring finger/ring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Simkin Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Is there a significance of the arm being LEFT? It is very significant that it was not a right arm. If so, has it got anything to do with the ring finger/ring? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kathryn Foong Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Is the owner of the arm still alive (is this significant) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kathryn Foong Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Left arm is significant...hmm.... Was the person who's arm got taken off left handed or needed to use the left arm for something in particular like sports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Simkin Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Left arm is significant...hmm....Was the person who's arm got taken off left handed or needed to use the left arm for something in particular like sports? The man who sent the package and all the men who received it were right-handed. That is an important clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stapleton Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Were all the parties involved one-armed or two-armed? I'm thinking it's quite possible for a one-armed person to open a parcel and then re-package it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mark Valenti Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Are all of the men friends? Have they known each other since childhood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
