Brain Teasers
Detective Donald I
Detective Donald investigated the scene of the crime. Apparently, the fifth richest man in Crimeville, Bill Richman, had been kidnapped! The only thing at the scene was a note left, no doubt, by Bill Richman while he was being kidnapped. It read, "First of January, Fourth of October, Fifth of March, and Third of June." Detective Donald knew this note was accusing the kidnapper. He had to decide which one it was, out of:
Jack Richman, Bill Richman's son and heir,
John Jacobson, Richman's employee, or
June Richman, Bill's wife.
Detective Donald discovered what the note meant, and promptly told the authorities who it was.

Hmmm... not a great quiz... Detective Donald II was better but even then it was not that great...

A bit too easy, but great
Would a kidnapper do this in REAL LIFE? LOL

i've seen this one before it's easy
easy even though I never saw it before. And there are a LOT of people named John in these Mystery puzzles!!!
Too easy. I've seen this one before.
This is easy. You should add patterns to the notes though, don't just get some random letters from the notes. Oh, and why would Bill bother to write such a long note?
loved it , on the easy side but none the less , great job
