The Clock Catches Up
Objection! daily courtroom logic puzzle · 2026-10-12
The case file
Between 6:00 PM and 6:20 PM, the stand's motion sensor tripped -- and a cash box went missing from the concession stand. Four people were nearby that evening. Whose alibi falls apart?
The rule: All four findings come from verified records -- logs, cameras, receipts. Exactly one suspect's story contradicts the evidence.
The clues
- Silas Reed: The keycard log shows Silas Reed badging into north garage at 5:16 PM. The shift log shows Silas Reed clocked in at the office at 5:23 PM.
- Theo Marsh: The keycard log shows Theo Marsh badging into the office at 5:54 PM. The toll transponder on Theo Marsh's car pinged at river toll plaza at 6:26 PM.
- Mira Sol: The toll transponder on Mira Sol's car pinged at river toll plaza at 5:52 PM. The shift log shows Mira Sol clocked in at downtown at 6:30 PM.
- Marcus Vale: Phone tower records place Marcus Vale near downtown at 5:48 PM. The toll transponder on Marcus Vale's car pinged at river toll plaza at 6:22 PM.
Who did it?
- Silas Reed
- Theo Marsh
- Mira Sol
- Marcus Vale
