Therefore CEB=40 and CDB=20
Not sure of the answer but CEB would be 50 and CDB would be 40

My solution is 25...

I could be very wrong of course

You are, but the toilet visit got you on track.

I'll give it another try later on. I love trig!

The best I can come up with is: pie -> pies

Sorry. I did that thing where you reply to what you think is a new post, not realising there is a whole page and a half more posts after it.

LOL! I double check for that reason before I click 'Post' (laugh)

Just worked it out. Had to look up some trig formulas and use a calculator to figure out the sins and cosines but I came up with 29.997 or essentially 30.

If you mark where the lines cross in the middle as X and Make the base be a measurement of 1 unit you get the following:

CD=1.347
BE=1
AXB=70 degrees
CEB=50 degrees
CDB=40 degrees
AB & AC=2.879
CX=.922
BX=.815
CE=1.286
XE=.364
BD=1.532
XD=.717

Let's do some different riddle now:

(if this is not the right thread for it, some mod can move it to a "The "Black Stories" crime puzzle thread")

The rules are:

1. You can ask everything, but I can only say "Yes", "No" or "maybe/not relevant" or you can try to give an answer in one or two small sentences.
2. There is only one solution (because a person can't die in two different ways)

"A man gets in A-Town into a train waggon and when the train is on his last station, he is found dead. What happened to him?"

Hint:

Spoiler
It can be solved by your knowledge of Isosceles Triangles.

Mega hint (really spoiling):

Spoiler
You can add extra points and lines to the shape.

Time to revive this thread I guess.

I thought up a riddle but it didn't work as a Black Stories case... too basic...

Here it is:

Jane and Mike played hide and seek.

Jane found Mike at midnight just joking and smiling.

How long did it take Jane to find Mike?

Only thing I can think of is 1 day because at midnight it became the next day?

EDIT: but then it could have been more than 1 day.

Maybe Jane was the one to be found, but Mike didn't look for her to mess with her; that's why he's joking and smiling. But that doesn't give me an answer, so I'm probably on the wrong track.

Is 'midnight' the name of a night club?

The trick is hidden in the riddle.

If Jane and Mike are the hands of a clock, I'd say an hour.
But too simple I'm sure.

Are Jane and Mike children?
Is Jane dead?
Is this a crime story?
