Your the investigator to a scene involving a dead body. All you know is the man has been found with a round trip train ticket into the city, and upon leaving the city at the end of the day, he was found with a gunshot wound to the head and a gun in his hand.
Why?
In the interest of keeping the game a situation of deduction and reasoning, I will ask that multiple questions not be used. It's too easy for someone to just ask many randon questions and get lucky, and that is not the point of the game. The goal is to isolate who he was, why he was on the train, why he shot himself, etc., through rationale and questions based on elimination of possibilities.
And if you know the answer because you played this before, please let others figure it out.
Good Luck... :-D

The man had a round trip ticket. Was he found dead before he made it to the first destination. in other words did he make it to the city before he killed him self?

Ok, so some single guy with some non-fatal physical ailment, with a gun, goes to visit a doctor in the city. On the way back he shoots himself in the head.
Is that an accurate recap?
Did he have an operation or amputation in the city?
Was he physically malformed in any way?
(ok, that is 3, but I haven't asked any yet)

A recap,
We know the following were all yes questions....
He shot himself and the shot was from his own hand.
He had gone to the city to visit a doctor.
He traveled alone.
He has a disease.
The disease is not fatal.
He brought the gun from home.
He normally carried the gun with him.
He had no prior plans of shooting himself.
He shot himself on the way home after being in the city.
This one is a step lower than the guy with the arm in the box. You have to ask yourself why the questions you asked were relevant to the story. If they are not, they are answered with a no. So each of the pieces above, being answered with a yes, all play into it. Think outside the box.... :-D
-
Was the doctor he visited his girl friend?
Was the doctor he visited his wife?

his artificial hand was also a gun and he shot himself by accident while scratching. :-D

Did he have a heart attack?
I know, back in the box! J

Ok. A big clue. This one will help you along with WHY he was in the city.
He went to see an eye doctor...... :shock:
-
Ok....
He has a job (or something else that is important to him) that relies on his eyesight?
He committed suicide because he couldn't live without his eyesight?
-

Yes and Yes
But why now? He was not blind and could see perfectly, and just found out an hour prior about his condition. He has so much to do before he lost his sight. You getting close.... :-D
-
He was an anti-gun activist, and his goal in life was to have concealed weapons banned on trains.

I'm still laughing at that... :-D

Hmm why did he go to the eye doctor in the first place, he was a competative marksman by profession?

The reason is not important...maybe just a routine eye exam.
No, on the profession...which does not play into it.

Batboy was tired of the Sun using the same pic from 30 years ago, grabbed his hand & made him shoot himself?
Was he one of those dummys that don't make sure the gun is totally empty before looking down the barrel?

No. But I like the imagination.... :-D

Yes, to the story, but no to the answer.... :-D
Why could he not see?
I'll get ready to ring the bell..... :lol:
-
the light went out on the train
-
Did he go through a tunnel, all went dark and he thought he went blind, tried to grab his phone to call the doc he went all the way to the city to see - who said he had plenty of time with sight remaining, but due to anxiety grabbed the gun he took to the city for protection rather than his phone and shot himself as he raised the gun to his ear to call the doc???
-
that sound good beemaster
-
Been following this, waiting to jump in at the right time - lol. I think I'm close, but still missing one part, but thanks 1Reb :)
-
I think you hit the nail on the head
-
BINGO!
The guy was just a simple man who went to see his eye doctor. He was diagnosed with a disease that would potentially have him lose his eye sight at any time. He was devastated. Upon traveling home, he dozed off. Upon waking up while the train was in a tunnel, he freaked out and thought he had gone blind. He then decided in a hast to take his own life as panic and fear set in.
On CSI, they make it all look so easy putting the pieces together..... :-D
Hope everyone had fun.
Once you know how to ask questions that isolate, or eliminate possibilities, it can really be a thinking game with challenge. I have others I'll post soon. I want to say thank you for all that participated. It is fun for me reading some of the responses, as I hope it is for you guessing and putting the pieces together.

It's all the other scenarios tha't half the fun. :-D

BEEMASTER HUMBLY BOWS :)
I was pretty close - cool. I'm an audiobook listener and really enjoy modern detective stories, there are so many great characters and series of books out there! Love Harry Bosh, Jack Reacher, type characters!
I surely only got this with the dozens of posts before mine - collectively we did great :)
Bjorn keep them coming, very fun to follow.
P.S. I'm sure I did it, but in case I missed it, glad to have you aboard, your first 380+ posts have been great!

when is the next one?

I'm going to throw up another that is a bit easier and actually is a good one for parents to play with their children. It does not involve body parts in boxes or guns... :-D
Thank you Beemaster for your comments.
