Whose Alibi Falls Apart?
Objection! daily courtroom logic puzzle · 2026-10-18
The case file
Between 5:15 PM and 5:45 PM, the library's after-hours motion sensor fired -- and a laptop was swiped from a library cubicle. 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
- Sam Okafor: The keycard log shows Sam Okafor badging into north garage at 5:08 PM. Phone tower records place Sam Okafor near north garage at 5:52 PM.
- Felix Grant: The register tape shows Felix Grant ringing up a sale at the mall at 5:03 PM. A camera at riverside park recorded Felix Grant at 5:49 PM.
- Dana Wren: A camera at riverside park recorded Dana Wren at 5:31 PM. The toll transponder on Dana Wren's car pinged at river toll plaza at 5:37 PM.
- Hugo Bain: Phone tower records place Hugo Bain near riverside park at 5:00 PM. The toll transponder on Hugo Bain's car pinged at river toll plaza at 5:54 PM.
Who did it?
- Felix Grant
- Hugo Bain
- Sam Okafor
- Dana Wren
