The solution to the mystery was - Quinton committed the murder with the half eaten scone in Room 110
-
Clues to help you were - Quinton was a part time psychic so if he didn't do it he would have said long ago who did and saved us all having to listen to that ridiculous story! At the end of the story Thewseau actually says "The butler usually does it" - you should have listened to our hero. The extra clues given only on the web earlier this week were mainly rubbish but two of them had an element of truth - you were told that letters belonging to the murderer would help show where the murder took place - if you give each letter of the alphabet a number starting with A=1 then the total value of the letters in Quinton's name adds up to 110 e.g. Q=17, U=21 etc. You were also told that the murder weapon was something that was seen around school every day - pupil's cooking!

Once the £275 is paid out around £410 was made for school funds.A big thanks to all who contributed in any way.

Explanation of the case is simple (a little like Speedily!)Quinton committed the murder because the Head was his real father. Quinton had known this for a long time but had harboured a grudge that Head wouldn't recognise him. He had spent many a year trying to tell others but when he shouted things like "My father's a head case!" others at Harris Hall simply felt sorry for him.

Little is known of the characters who rambled unconvincingly through this badly thought out mystery but we do know the following:
-
Tired of the horrors of such cases Thewseau fled to a new life in Budapest. Still recovering from the emotional farewell he had bid Speedily at the airport he was surprised and a just a little unnerved when he opened his case to find Speedily (whose father had been a contortionist ) folded up very neatly inside. The two forged a new crime fighting career for themselves in the Hungarian capital solving such crimes as "The Mystery of the Half-Eaten Sausage Roll" and "The Great Bicycle Pump Swindle"
-
Sergeant Major Stubbles now lives rough in an area of Dundee known as Elliott Road. When the police last took an interest in the old tent he was sleeping in he muttered something incomprehensible about The Duke of Edinburgh
-
Quinton escaped the clutches of justice before he could be brought to trial for Head's murder and hasn't been seen since. Well apart from the rumours that suggest that on a quiet day you can just about hear his voice in the draughty corridors of Harris Hall and that sometimes just as you round a corner in that famous old building you can almost swear you've caught sight of a bald,scowling figure. Surely that can't be true, can it?
