Brain Teasers
Who Stole What?
Sherlock Holmes sat opposite Inspector Lestrade in Lestrade's office at Scotland Yard. Sergeant Smith entered the room with three prisoners, who stood in line in front of Lestrade's desk. Holmes watched with interest as Lestrade interrogated the three men. Barnett stood between the man who was clean-shaven and the man who stole the cigar case. Black, who had stolen the wallet, had been arrested at the same time as Wetherby. It was the man with the mustache, not the one with the beard, who had stolen the gold watch.
Can you identify each of the men, matching them to:
1. The item each had stolen and
2. Whether each was clean-shaven or had a mustache or a beard.

good teaser.....but those aren't sentences...how can you stand between 1 man?
Well I thought it was obvious when there are 3 men, whoever is between must be in the middle of the trio! Still I thought it was clever, Well done
I enjoyed this teaser.
I found myself wishing we had clues to put them in the correct order in line. Of course Barnett was in the middle, but there were no clues to indicate at which end Wetherby or Black were. Thanks for an entertaining morning!
