A bike was swiped from outside the Main Street diner around sunset on Tuesday.
Gina says“I was walking home, heading west on Main right into the sunset, with my long shadow stretched out in front of me. I grabbed an ice cream and went straight home.”
How did the detective know she was lying?
Hint: Where does a shadow fall?
Answer
Her shadow would have been behind her, not in front.
Walking toward the setting sun puts the light in front of you, so your shadow stretches out behind you.
Did you get it?
Nice work. On to the next one.
Got you this time. Try the next one.
