Assassinated in the Hotel Room [Solved]
« on: August 09, 2005, 07:07:31 pm »
A man was found dead in his 51st story hotel room, assassinated.  The room he was in is locked from the inside.  He was slouched in a chair in front of one of the windows in the room.  The carpet below the window was damp.  The only sound in the room was the sound of the air conditioner.  The bullet entered the back of his head and was loged in the base of his skull.  It was determined that he was shot exactly where he sat, and that the bullet had been fired from over 30 meters way.  The man had been dead for several hours.  Since the windows had been locked from within, and the glass unbroken, how was he assassinated?

He was shot elsewhere, while sitting in the chair (exactly where he sat) and then carried to the hotel room. You can lock the door from the outside, or they could have just locked it from the inside and slammed it.

Good guess, but no.  It would be obvious if he was moved.  I should have said "he was unmoved" in the puzzle, though.

That's the top floor I'm guessing. Perhaps there was a sunroof he shot through?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Hmm..

I bet it has something to do with ice, if the carpet is wet.

Never said he was alone. The killer is still there.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

That'd be a big hotel room, >90 feet long at least?

Is there a hole in the door? The door was closed when the police entered, yes?

Is the carpet damp due to blood, or due to the A/C, or due to him peeing on himself when his body released toxins due to death?

Are there any holes in the floor?

No holes.

No the carpet is not damp due to the aforementioned factors.

Hmm
He was facing the window with his back torwards the rest of the room and the guy had just entered the room,
shot him and locked the door from the inside before he left.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

He would have been too close!

Nobody left the room after the man was killed.
