Riddle: A man is lying drowned in a dead forest, far from water. How did this happen?
Answer: A firefighting plane filled its tanks with water from a lake, sucking a scuba diver in. He drowned while the aircraft was in flight and was dumped into a burning forest with the water.
Answer: Both Dave and Brad were given drinks with poisoned ice cubes. Brad drank his drinks so quickly that the ice didn't have time to melt and release the poison.
Answer: Jason McCubbins, Ray's business partner. The calendar is the clue to solving this murder. The police realized that since Mr. Whitcombe was wearing his watch on his right arm, he must be left-handed. But the pen was found in his right hand. Realizing that the number on the calendar was written in a hurry and with his opposite hand, the police matched the written number with the months of the year. So the B was an 8, thereby giving us 7-8-9-10-11: July, August, September, October, and November. Use the first letter of each month and it spells J-A-S-O-N
