Detective Sable walked into the interrogation room where the air smelled like old paper and cold coffee. On the table sat a stack of case files and a single photograph of a crime scene with perfectly clean glass—not a smudge in sight.
The witness insisted she saw every suspect enter the room.
But when Sable asked for names, she only shrugged and said:
“They were all there… but none of them left a name behind.”
The witness then described how she counted the fingerprints on the glass,
one by one,
and how the number was exactly the same as the number of suspects she “saw.”
Detective Sable asked, “So how many fingerprints were there?”
The witness replied confidently, “The same number as the suspects.”
Sable looked at the file again and realized something was missing.
How many fingerprints were on the glass?
It can’t be determined — the number of suspects doesn’t exist in the record.
