Mystery
Mystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.Mystery
One Saturday morning, Veya saw the three musketeers in the mall. Three friends, Pep, Asia, and Fe-Fe call themselves by that name because they are always together.
"I've been shopping for sandals," Pep told Veya. "But I have such a wide foot, nothing seems to fit. We've been looking everywhere."
"And it's been slow going," Fe-Fe added. "because of Asia's injury."
"I know." Veya said, looking at Asia. "I heard you sprained your ankle in gym yesterday. Does it still hurt a lot?"
"It's okay as long as I move really slowly," Asia told her. "We're going to get ice cream at the Just Desserts Shop now. Want to join us?"
"I had better not. Lee is meeting me at home. See you all later."
Veya was taking a short cut through Washington Park when she saw Mr. King kneeling beside a new sidewalk. The city maintenance man frowned as she drew closer. "Somebody jumped right in the middle here while the cement was still wet." He said as he pointed at two narrow footprints embedded in the concrete. "Now I'll have to rip out this section and re-do it. I Sure can't leave the sidewalk looking like this!"
"Do you have any idea of who did it?" Veya asked.
"A kid over there on the slide said that three girls named Pep, Asia, and Fe-Fe were the only ones near here, but he doesn't know which one ruined my sidewalk."
"I know who did it," Veya said.
Who was it and how did Veya figure it out?

Who was it and how did Veya figure it out?
Answer
Fe-FeThe footprints in the cement were narrow. Pep had wide feet and, because of her sprained ankle, Asia would not have jumped. Since Fe-Fe was the only one left, she had to be the guilty one.

pretty easy but really good
Good, but you made the whole wide/narrow foot thing a little too obvious.
You did a good job writing it up. I thought it was still fun, even though it was a bit easy. Thanks for sharing it with us. Keep up the good work.
Too easy.

This was really easy (the first one I've understood on this site!!! ) but it was still really clever and fun to do
Does clever and fun always have to equal easy? I enjoyed this. Glad I could solve it. Keep them coming.
this was really easy, it was kinda obvious
Ok, the logic of this Teaser will make you think for a second it was the friend who sprained her leg, but I've written my name in wet cement before, and have seen others play in wet cement. I don't belive anyone could hurt themselves. Good teaser........

I dont want to be one of those people who are mean. instead i opt to give an encouraging pointer- next time i would try and make it a little more challenging because some people are rude enough to make comments that seem completely unorthidox to me.
Nice effort
i cant believe i spent 30 of my life reading a piece of crap like and it was also easy!!
i liked it coz it was fun and easy.. GR8 TEASER!!! and isnt that a little harsh smartsy?

Very easy, but fun and enjoyable. Please do more.

it was okay. i thought it might have been the one who complained of wide feet, or the one who said she sprainged her ankle. it could have been their defense. i first thought it right, but it seemed to easy.
very easy.
I thought it was the boy since if he saw them near there then he was near and could be covering up.
