One Saturday morning Nina saw the three
musketeers in the mall. Jenny, Brittany, and
Mitzi called themselves by that name because they
always were together. "I've been shopping for
sandals," Jenny told Nina. "But I have such a
wide foot nothing seems to fit. We've been
looking everywhere." "And it's been slow
going," Mitzi added. "On account of Brittany's-"
"I know," Nina said looking at Brittany, "I heard
you sprained your ankle in gym yesterday. Does it
still hurt a lot?" "It's okay as long as I move
really slowly," Brittany told her. "We're going
to get ice cream at the Just Desserts Shop now.
Want to join us?" "Better not, Nina said, Max
is meeting me at home. See you later."

Nina was taking a short cut through Harborville's
city park when she saw Mr. Hansen kneeling beside
a new sidewalk. The city maintenance man frowned
as she drew closer. "Somebody jumped right in the
middle here while the cement was still wet," he
said, pointing at two narrow footprints embedded
in the concrete. "Now I'll have to rip out this
section and re-do it. Sure can't leave the
sidewalk looking like this!" "Any idea of who
did it?" Nina asked. "A kid over there on the
slide said that girls named Brittany, Mitzi, and
Jenny were the only ones near here. But he
doesn't know which one ruined my sidewalk." "I
know who did it," Nina declared. How did Nina
figure it out?
10
Solution
The footprints were narrow. Jenny had wide feet.
Because of her sprained ankle, Brittany would not
have jumped. Since Mitzi was the only one left,
she had to be the guilty one.
