All summer Professor, the counting horse of Hawthorne Park, has answered sums by tapping his hoof, and drawn bigger crowds than the racing. A side book took bets on every sum. On Saturday, with ten thousand dollars riding on him, Professor added two and two and tapped out seven.

Roaring Twenties: case 35

This Evil case seats 25 suspects on a 5×5 grid. 20 of them carry a clue; the other 5 only have something to say about themselves. 7 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 35 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
