| Yes Judey, frost DOES form on the INSIDE of windows, NOT the outside. A window can ice up from a storm on the outside, but frost, which is frozen condesation, forms on the inside where warmer air is hitting ice cold glass. |

| Ahh. I thought it was because if he couldn't see inside to see a person he wouldn't have seen the light |

| When you get into your car in the morning on a cold day do you wipe the frost of yourself on the inside? No because the frost forms on the OUTSIDE. |

| I thought that frost is on the outside and fog (or at least condensation) was on the inside. I agree with whoever said you don't wipe the frost off from the inside. |

| Frost forms on the inside of the window. :roll: |

| How on earth can frost form on the inside of a window when it gets colder outside than it does inside?! :o :roll: |

| No, they're right, now that i think about it... i just can't think of why.... -.-;; |

| all the geniuses who think that frost forms on the inside of the window need to go back to middle school or just look outside at your car on a frozen morning. So the entire teaser makes no sense because the author is one of those dumb geniuses. Also the hint is stupid, "the testimony gave it away"????.....the whole riddle is his testimony so obvious it gave it away. |

| Well this teaser was insanely easy...it was incorrect. I agree with everyone who says frost forms on the outside. Everyone beat me to the whole "scraping frost off your car" theory... :roll: |
|

| Haven't you ever wrote stuff in the frost on windows? You do it on the inside of the window. Unless I'm mistaken and that's condensation. |

| all right children, calm down. frost can from on either side. frost is simply frozen condensation. water condenses on cold glass.
this can happen on both sides. the car windows only get frost on the outside because there is not much moisture in the air in the car. try having a bunch of people sit in a car just talking, and then leave the car. If its freezing out. you will get frost inside. as for the house. on old single pane windows, in a poorly heated house you can get frost inside, this is especially true when it gets really cold. Minnesota winters when its 30 below, windows frost in side.
so there |

| In my car, frost forms on the inside :lol: |
|

| the actual icy frost forms outside, but it seriously fogs up the inside. he wouldnt have been able to see inside anyway. hey and plus, anyone named MR FIEND is a sure giveaway he's guilty! :D lol good one. |
|
| Posted by bookworm91 | 11/19/05 |
| hey correction. didnt read vikingboy's comment. i've never actually seen frost on the inside but it makes sense it can freeze on either side if its cold enough. besides who would want to live where it got that cold anyway?! i prefer sunny tucson. lol 8) |

| Posted by rkaaland | 12/10/05 |
| Ok right now in my life I have frost on the outside of my car- the inside windows of my house and the inside of one of my cars' windows- How is that for frost!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: |
|
| Posted by Brainy_1 | 12/21/05 |
| Alrighty then....I liked this one and I got it! :D 8) I will not get into the frost debate, because as of this very moment here in Ohio it is 16 degrees wind chill and that frosted me! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: |

| took me a minit, but i got it before reading the hint. Being a northener (and having it be winter currently) i found it cleaver yet easy, i think somone who lived in a warmer climate would have more of a challange!overeal, i give it an A |

| Does it really matter which side of the window frosts over? it's not a huge deal! frost is frost inside or out! it's not really all that great to argue about!
Geesh! newayz! GREAT teaser! |
|
| Posted by kcheer2493 | 06/01/06 |
| I got it, but at first didn't know if that was accurate |
|
| Posted by Blackbelt92 | 06/07/06 |
| There should have been more clues, because not all minds can comprehend that frost forms on a certain side. |
|
| Posted by cyberstar5150 | 06/29/06 |
| It kinda matters if the reason he was arrested was b/c of frost being inside...
Frost = outside
Fog = inside |
|
| Posted by curious_george | 09/10/06 |
| Frost forms on the outside. Example, if you leave your car outside in the winter the windows are covered in frost. You use a window scraper on the OUTSIDE to remove the frost. Good teaser anyway :D |
|
| Posted by ciotog | 12/04/06 |
| Frost forms on the outside of a car because the car gets cold in between uses. A house generally stays heated (although in this case since the occupent was incapacitated he could have let the fire die out).
However, frost certainly does form on the inside of house windows - the humidity outside on a cold day is usually very low, but depending on the heating system the air inside can be dry or moist. A single pane window would get frosty on the inside if there was enough humidity.
Anyway, Mr. Fiend wasn't very bright. |

| You would not nessicarily know if Mr.Fied was the suspect because there could have been frost on the outside looking in. :wink: |
|
| Posted by bgil7604 | 02/28/07 |
| That was actually really hard (to me.) I thought what got him arrested was kicking the door open. Couldn't you get arrested for breaking and entering??? :lol: |
|
| Posted by Madelulabelle | 03/12/07 |
| I immediatly got that it was frost, but my idea was that there was still frost on the window. :D |
|

| I knew it was him from the first sentance.WHO NAMES THEIR BADGUY MR FIEND ITS LIKE FIEN. |

| Gee, I hope he isn't convicted on the basis of frost on the inside because I wasn't buying it.
I can't imagine a house so cold that frost forms on the inside instead of plain old foggy condensation.
I live in milder Oregon and have never had frost on the inside of my car windows-- outside only. My house windows do fog up on the inside on particularly cold nights when boiling stuff or after a steamy shower. But fog is not frost.
Hmmm... let's hope there was some other forensic evidence available to convict Mr. Fiend. |
|
| Posted by scallio | 11/08/07 |
| I just spoke with someone who lived in an older house in a state with cold winters (Pennsylvania) and learned that windows CAN frost on the inside.
They frost on the inside when it's particularly cold outside and warm inside.
I stand corrected! Throw Mr. Fiend the fiend in jail!
:wink: |
|
| Posted by preppygirl | 11/20/07 |
| OMG!!! who cares the only reason anybody cares about how correct it was if if they get it wrong and ar trying to prove otherwise!! who cares if they accepted the teaser its most likely fine and even if it isnt compleatly and totally correct isnt what makes teasers fun the difficulty to solve them eighter way this teaser is a good one! |
|
| Posted by random_clam35 | 12/11/07 |
| I thought that frost formed on the outside. No. Wait a second. It DOES form on the inside becuz I was wiping frost IN my kitchen on the INSIDE! :D.... I get it now....Ok very clever... |
|
| Posted by zundra | 06/29/08 |
| What a dumb riddle. You wouldn't definitely arrest someone because of such a tiny detail. So what if the frost was on the inside or the outside. I think I'd want a bit more hard evidents before arresting someone for murder. |

| All you wanted to know about frost on windows, but were afraid to ask.
I liked this teaser. |
|
| Posted by srpwuzhere | 11/16/08 |
| i totally forgot what frost was. so i figured he knew it was foul play when he said he suspected it. |
|
| Posted by xdbtcp | 06/05/09 |
| If he was going to 'drop by', why would he be surprised that a light was on, and then kick the door in instead of knocking? :lol: |
|
| Posted by Prinesca | 01/04/10 |
| Pretty easy. |
|
| Posted by Waka | 01/08/11 |
| Also, how does he notice his study light was on if there was snow in the window? Nice teaser. |
|
| Posted by MagicPurple | 02/27/11 |
| I didn't know frost forms on the inside. You learn something every day! :lol: |

| Actually, as one who grew up in Chicago and frequently had to scrape frost off the OUTSIDE of the windows of my car, I can say with certainty from personal experience that frost does form on the outside of windows. here is a definition of "frost" from an online dictionary:
frost (frɒst)— n
1. See also hoarfrost a white deposit of ice particles, esp one formed on objects out of doors at night
Note it says "formed on objects out of doors" |
