Old Sir Bartholomew's will left twenty thousand pounds to the first person to see a fifth moon of Jupiter. Tonight a professor led the guests up to the roof, turned the great telescope on Jupiter — and there, beyond any doubt, were five moons.

Victorian London: case 40

This Nightmare case seats 25 suspects on a 5×5 grid. 21 of them carry a clue; the other 4 only have something to say about themselves. 9 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 40 of the free Victorian London case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
