Here's a Challenge for you, A Detective Riddle 😊
Riddle:
A famous art gallery hosts an exclusive exhibition featuring a rare painting. During the event, the painting mysteriously disappears. The gallery’s security system was active, and no one entered or exited the room during the time of the theft. The only people in the room were:
- The janitor, who was cleaning the floors.
- The curator, who was giving a lecture about the painting.
- The artist, who was signing autographs.
- The security guard, who was monitoring the room.
Hint: Think about the roles of the suspects and what the missing canvas implies. Consider how the thief could have taken the painting without being detected by the security system.
