See [A Carnivore Did It! - PBF recruitment and discussion](https://discussion.tekeli.li/t/a-carnivore-did-it-pbf-recruitment-and-discussion/6794) for more information. For collective scoring purposes, game 1’s players will be: @Whistle_Pig, @RossM, @Assussanni, @RogerBW, @InkyBloc, @COMaestro, and anyone else who joins in and posts a solution to case 1 before we move on to the next case (once the aforementioned have submitted their answers). The minimum solution is the name of the culprit(s). If you wish to use a timer then also provide the relevant time bracket (or the time itself). Feel free to include your reasoning, but this is not required. If you choose to pass, just write `pass` as your solution. Before you submit your solution, highlight the text and use the “Hide details” option in the options menu (the `+` sign in a circle) to prevent spoilers for other players. * * * Case 1/8, dossier 3. Time brackets: (a) \<= 2 mins (b) 2-4 mins (c) 4-8 mins (d) 8+ mins (x) not using a timer **4 suspects, 1 culprit, 1 lie** > **Start your timer / begin solving** > > ![dossier3](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/3X/8/3/83edd9aea3262bca5726115558c8c842e127eb5d.jpeg) ---

But I have no idea with going to that work event that I will have time to post solutions. I will try to because I love deduction puzzles but… ---

This means peacock is telling the truth leaving shark as the only culprit, which is not contradicted by panther or shark’s statements. ---

Good work, squad; no one tripped at the first hurdle. That criminal barely had time to commit a crime before you’d solved it. The commissioner rates your performance at a very impressive 97%! But there’s no time to celebrate – we have another case on our hands! * * * Case 2/8, dossier 4.
