Well, seeing as the man was so rich (had two servants!), could the wife be a gold digger, and kill him for the insurance or something. After all, she was probably sleeping in the same room as him.
The butler
Just because it's in the thesaurus doesn't mean it's a good idea.
And why isn't 'dethesaurisation' in the dictionary?
@wolf: sorry. you're answer is wrong, good imagination though.
@blue: if that is the answer why is he the killer?
Cause the butler always does it XD Don't you know anything?
You've read it! You can't unread it!
Yeah, I guess so. I mean, everybody else had a description of what they were doing, 'cept the butler. He was just "on the roof".
When the man looked out the window at something in the garden, the butler had ample time to pick up a stone wheel on a rope and drop it on his head, crushing his skull, and then pull up the wheel again and conceal it. Man falls back into the room dead, and no one's the wiser.
Need to watch less Poirot, methinks
Just because it's in the thesaurus doesn't mean it's a good idea.

I dont think so. from the puzzle theres nothing that make the butlers alibi suspicious except that he is in the roof.
@ Lynk: i think this one is an excemption for that rule. XD
the maid, the post office isn't open on Sundays, well... not where I live
Military Intelligence are two contradictory words
And we got a winner!!!!! Mav is correct!
Sorry for the double post. One more puzzle here.
Let say all of us are detectives.
One day we were summoned to a certein house.
We went to the said house and saw the police wating for us to open the house.
Upon entering the house we observed that there's no sign of forced entry.
Inside a house there was a dead man carrying a gun in his left hand and a bullethole in his forehead.
Beside the body there's a casette tape recorder. Lynk played the recorder then all of us heard "no one loves me, i'm better off dead (bang!!!)"
Then i said. we must find the killer.
The question is, why did i say that?
After the bang the tape recording has stopped and you dont hear anyone fall to the ground or something as if someone had stopped it on purpose?
Also me and Lynk once talked about/roleplayed being detectives maybe XD He was going for a Sherlock Holmes style but i started going for a Starsky and Hutch style i think XD
meybe he had a freind around and he shot him in the head?
wife meybe?
XD
@chim: That's not quite the answer chim but you're close very very close.
@kin: wron answer, like my first puzzle all you need is in the puzzle.
Lynk didn't rewind the recorder, so somebody else did it after the shot.
Military Intelligence are two contradictory words
I admit it! I shot him!... I didn't like the way he looked at me so I shot him and made that fake recording! You'll never catch me now! HAHAHAHAHAH! *flies away in a hotair balloon*
You've read it! You can't unread it!
Nice get away means XD lol
Is anyone wearing a tophat and monocle?
Yes... there were two highly suspicious people wearing a tophat and monocle...
and
You've read it! You can't unread it!

It is 'cause you're the killer?
EDIT:
Is it because he held the gun in his hands when he "shot himself" but not the tape recorder. And that meant that he could not have pressed the stop, or something like that?
is the man who shot himself the murderer?
mav again! got the correct answer. the puzzle didnt mention someone breaking in the house before we did. so someone did rewind the recording.
about the real murderer i don know so we have to catch the hot air balloon.
The person who was killed might have been me because Lynk wanted chocolate and i had some
Twilight Lynk says (17:24): *grabs your head with both hands and looks you right in the eyes*
O.O
Twilight Lynk says (17:24): i want chocolate!
I got another puzzle!
Still we are a detectives.
When we arrive at the scene we saw the dead couple. The cause of death is still unknown.
The evidence are broken glass, wet floor and baseball.
How did the couple die?

A baseball smashed through a window then one of the people slipped on the baseball into the other person who slipped because of the wet floor?
A window traveling at mach 1 collided with a stationary couple. Then the couple were then thrown directly into the bottom corner of a wall and a glitch occured. As the area loads in the couple are at the scene with a baseball nearby.
Is that one right?
very interesting deduction,apparently analog is the only i think can understand what you just said. and to me its wrong. XD
Wolf the question is how did they die>? XD hehehehe Goldfish.
I thought the goldfish answer pretty much spelled it out. A baseball crashing through the window and hitting the godfish bowl would take em out pretty easily.
You've read it! You can't unread it!
I just need that direct statement. Good job, wolf and lynk
You now owe me $500, Tacx... and if I don't get me the money, you'll end up like the guy in the last puzzle with the tape recorder... HAHAHAHAHAH! *continues to get away in his hot air balloon*
You've read it! You can't unread it!
Yeah, I'll read the question next time. My answer was either going to be that they were goldfish or that they had died from pneumonia.
Got a megaphone in that hot air balloon Lynk? XD
Flying around laughing through a megaphone at people is fun?
Ok, I'll post up a problem of my own (don't worry this one's easy):
A teacher decided to give his students a problem. He presented them with a wooden box (with a lid) and the following question: 'There's something that I could put into this box that would make it lighter. In fact, the more of these thing I put in the lighter the box would become. Also, however many of these things I put in the box, it would remain empty. What are they?'
Holes?
i would suggest ligth gas like the ones used in ballo0ns, but with just normal setting i would seggest hot air.
im betting on Chims answer to.
@lynk: eh?! $500well dont ask me about that go to head of the office. Im just one of thier pawns in this police division.
@wolf: well actually im saving the golfish for the punchline but you kinda spoiled it, well you already know the answer so no worries.

@ Chim: Yeah, I guess it was too easy. Holes was the anwser.
Okay then, this one is slightly harder.
A young girl was able to leave school earlier because her teacher was ill. She didn't have the keys to her house, so she played ball in the front yard. However, she accidentally threw the ball through the living room window.
When her parents came home, there was no sign of the ball. As the girl could not have gone into the house without cutting herself on the jagged glass, her parents believed that she did not break the window.
Where is the ball?
No, it didn't pop. I doubt a ball that could pop could break a window. And anyway, unless it popped into a thousand pieces, the parents would have seen it.
