On a hot summer day, Inspector Warnicke was on duty with his assistant and was pursuing a criminal. Following the tracks, they found themselves on the bank of a small but deep and fast river.
Seeing a group of swimmers, Warnicke asked:
— We are looking for a almost guy your age. He must be somewhere nearby. Haven’t you seen him?
The young people replied that a few minutes ago a guy ran past them:
“It was right here that he threw himself into the river. Look, there he is on the other side coming out of the water! Hurry!’
The guys even offered to give them their boat, but the inspector refused.
– Let him run away, now I want to get to know you better.
Attention, question: why did the inspector decide to pay attention to the guys and not chase the fugitive on the other side?
I suggest looking at the picture again and thinking about what confused the detective?I’m sure you’ve already guessed. The answer to this riddle is not as complicated as it seems at first glance. In order to understand the logic of the inspector, you need to pay attention to the conditions of the task.It is worth paying attention to what is said about the river.
Answer: in a fast river, the guy would be washed away by the current and he would not be able to get out opposite the place where he entered the water. So the criminal is one of the guys standing on the shore.
