There has been a murder onboard! I have accepted Monsieur's Poirot's challenge and will lead my own investigation.

Talk to Poirot and learn about the murder of Ratchett. Poirot ordered the doors closed so that no one leaves. Convince Poirot to take command of the investigation. A challenge is given to Antoinette by Poirot. Accept the challenge to do it on your own with minimal help from Poirot.

If you agree to help and not do your own investigation, the clues to some puzzles are given to you by Poirot.

Examine Ratchett's body. Look at Ratchett's body. Check the pocket and take the pocket watch that stopped at 1:15. Check the pillow and get gun. Pick up the handkerchief with the letter H from the floor. Look at the side table and take the false teeth, thick tumbler with residue and smudge and metal statuette. Take the stub of a cigar, flat match, round match and scrap of burnt paper on the ashtray.

Really?

I was half expecting nothing to come back from that comment.

But for now; What was the weapon from the Orient Express

Some sort of dagger... (dagger doesn't work) There was no real murderer in that book. Everyone in that book had a motive and they all took turns stabbing the guy so no one would really know who killed him. Or something along those lines... but I think he was drugged or poisoned too....

I typed in "murder on the orient express" and the word "Other" appeared in the top left hand corner...

See screenshot.

tried that earlier too. the flash application is buggy and will crap out from time to time.

just close the active puzzle and re-open.

if it persists, refresh teh whole window

    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Windows Live Mail : If someone was malicious

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
