Detective Problem Solvers

Here is the first problem of the month. As we post our responses to this problem, we will be learning and becoming more comfortable with using blogs.

While you are acting as a detective, I would like for you to explain, in detail, your thinking for coming up with the possible solution. Don't forget to mention what strategy you used.

Have fun!
