  • 19If the Diplomat is guilty, the motive was not insanity or revenge.🔍

  • 43If the Entrepreneur is guilty, the motive was not espionage.🔍
  • 44If the Heiress is guilty, the motive was blackmail or insanity.🔍

  • 53The Diplomat and Gambler are not both guilty, although one of them may be.🔍

  • 72Both the Baroness and the Gambler speak French.🔍
  • 73Both questioning the Doctor and searching Second Class, where the murder occurred, will yield essentially the same information; and if you have this information, you don't have to bother searching the Drawing Room or Smoking Lounge Areas. The victim's last name was Doe, but only the Conductor knows whether his first name was spelled "John" or "Jon."🔍
  • 74The murder weapon was not a knife.🔍
  • 75I heard a shot at 4:30.🔍
  • 76The victim was shot to death prior to 6 o'clock.🔍

  • 89There was only one killer.🔍
  • 90If the Entrepreneur is guilty, the motive was espionage or insanity; the Entrepreneur is not an expert in either coins or jewels.🔍
  • 91The murder could not have taken place between 5 and 6 o'clock.🔍
  • 92If the Heiress is guilty, the motive was not money.🔍
  • 93The victim was killed in his berth between 6 and 8 o'clock; he was not poisoned, but died from being hit over the head with one of the three objects found near the body: either the glass camel, the cane with a camel's head, or the gun. Searching Second Class will rule out one of these objects.🔍
  • 94The Actress and Heiress will tell you exactly the same thing, which eliminates two motives.🔍
  • 95Among the suspects, at least three of the women are not experts in exotic poisons.🔍
  • 96If the Gambler is guilty, the motive was blackmail, insanity, or money; the Gambler is righthanded.🔍
  • 97The victim, George Gigolo, was shot to death. If you search First and Second Class and question the Valet, you will have enough information to eliminate two motives.🔍

  • 110If the Entrepreneur is guilty, the motive was not insanity.🔍
  • 111The Actress could not have committed the crime after 7 o'clock.🔍

  • 122The Actress, Baroness, Count, and Gambler all were in Spain recently. So was the victim, Don de Dondon, who was found dead in the library.🔍
  • 123If the Baroness is guilty, the motive was not revenge; the Baroness cannot pick a lock.🔍
  • 124If the Fortuneteller is guilty, the motive was insanity or jealousy.🔍
  • 125Both the Actress and the Baron speak Serbo-Croatian, but only the Actress will admit it.🔍

  • 140If the Gambler is guilty, the motive was not espionage; the Gambler knows how to pick a lock.🔍

  • 142If the Count is guilty, the motive was espionage, jealousy, or money; the Count is an expert in exotic poisons.🔍
  • 143If the murder occurred between 5 and 7 o'clock, then at least one of the following suspects—the Actress, Entrepreneur, Fortuneteller, or Heiress—must have done it.🔍
  • 144If the Diplomat is guilty, the motive was espionage or money; the Diplomat, oddly enough for someone in his profession, does not speak French.🔍
  • 145None of the men are experts in coins.🔍

  • 154If the Actress committed the crime before 5 o'clock, then she must have had the Gambler as an accomplice.🔍
  • 155There was just one killer, and the killer spoke French; the Conductor and I overheard part of a conversation between the killer and victim, but I couldn't be sure whether the killer was a man or a woman.🔍
  • 156One of the four men is guilty; the other three men are innocent.🔍
  • 157The motive was not espionage or insanity; and unless the killer was a woman, the motive was not revenge.🔍
  • 158If the Heiress is guilty, the motive was money or revenge.🔍
  • 159If the Count is guilty, the motive was espionage, insanity, or jealousy; the Count is righthanded.🔍

  • 170The person staying in berth 3 is guilty; the Actress is innocent.🔍
  • 171The victim, D.V. Uss, could not have been killed after 7 o'clock. Now, if you question the Conductor, you will have enough information to realize that out of questioning the Waiter and searching the Dining, Drawing Room, and Smoking Lounge Areas, only one source of information will prove useful.🔍
  • 172The only time the Diplomat or Fortuneteller could have committed the crime was between 5 and 6 o'clock; at other times, they were in the dining car.🔍
  • 173If the murder took place before 6 o'clock, then the Count, Fortuneteller, Gambler, and Heiress must all be innocent; until then, they were all together in a fortunetelling session in the drawing room.🔍

  • 183If the Actress is guilty, the motive was jealousy or revenge; the Actress is an expert in jewels but not coins.🔍
  • 184The four women are staying in berths 1, 2, and 6; the four men are staying in berths 3, 4, and 5.🔍

  • 194If the Baroness is guilty, the motive was insanity or money.🔍
  • 195If the Entrepreneur is guilty, the motive was blackmail or revenge.🔍
  • 196The killer had to know that the victim ate a special diet; but any of the suspects could have known this, since it was discussed aloud earlier in the dining room. The killer had to either poison the victim's food in the kitchen between 4 and 5 o'clock or in the dining room between 5 and 6, while the victim was eating.🔍
  • 197The victim's name was Claude Fraud. If you question the Cook, the Valet, and the Waiter, you'll realize that at most one of them has useful information.🔍
  • 198The Fortuneteller could not have committed the crime between 4 and 5 or between 6 and 7, when she was in the dining room.🔍
  • 199From the angles of the stab wounds, either the killer had to be ambidextrous, or there were at least two killers, one of whom was lefthanded and one of whom was righthanded; the murder occurred sometime between 5 o'clock and 7 in the victim's Second Class berth.🔍
  • 200The killer walks with a limp.🔍
  • 201Unless the murder took place after 7 o'clock, the Entrepreneur could not have done it.🔍

  • 204Neither the Actress nor the Count could have committed the murder earlier than 5 o'clock.🔍

  • 215If the Baroness is guilty, the motive was not jealousy or money.🔍

  • 220The victim had dined with the killer in Paris.🔍
  • 221If the Gambler is guilty, the motive was money or revenge.🔍
  • 222If the murder weapon was an icepick, neither the Count nor the Gambler is guilty. The Fortuneteller knows how to determine the murder weapon.🔍
  • 223The victim was already dead before he was shot.🔍
  • 224The list of coins the victim was carrying indicates that the killer took only the very best of the coins, and so must have been an expert on coins.🔍
  • 225A Spanish coin newly minted, is found on a corner of the kitchen floor.🔍
  • 226The victim was already dead when he was stabbed.🔍
  • 227The Count, the Diplomat, and the Gambler, whether acting alone or together, could only have committed the crime before 7 o'clock; after that, they were all in the dining room.🔍
  • 228From 5 o'clock until 6, only the Diplomat could have committed the crime.🔍
