The Great Detective was investigating a murder in the United States. The chief suspect said, “I’m new to the area, so I just followed directions and turned south onto Interstate 46”. The Great Detective knew he was lying. How?

    Interstate 46 runs east and west - not north/south

    ^ to expand on what Pat said. ALL odd number interstates run North to South. On the same token ALL even numbers run east to west.

    I bet Pat just looked at Google Maps and saw which direction that interstate ran instead of using a superior knowledge of interstates.

    You got it. That was easy. I’ll have to get some more challenging things posted. :-)

Got something to say?
