Does anyone know any interesting riddles?  Or where I could find some mysteries to read?  I'm bored.  And it's like Holmes said, right?  My mind rebels at stagnation.

[Conan sighs. He'd been interested at first, but now this just sounded like the usual vague stories some people thought of as mysteries. A real mystery depended on facts and details.]

That isn't very helpful.

[wandthief]

You wanted a riddle, didn't you? Something to solve?

Or did you just want a tale?

[modernholmes]

Something to solve, yes. With facts and logic.

[wandthief]

Well, this has a simple solution but people like to make more of it than likely happened.

My parents disappeared when I was very young, you see. People have thought up wild stories to explain it.

[modernholmes]

People do things like that all the time.

[wandthief]

Disappear or exaggerate?

[modernholmes]

Jump to conclusions.

[wandthief]

Indeed they do. Perhaps I am being dull to think their disappearance is no great mystery.

But then I could be wrong.
