Case files

Every file has an answer.
None of them are on this page.

One situation that does not add up, once a week. No ghosts, no coincidences, no wordplay. The answer is always boringly real — a rule, a contract, a piece of infrastructure, something that exists and that you never had a reason to look at.

The videos are on YouTube. The answer is not in them either. Ask in the comments and you get it, because a puzzle nobody asks about is a puzzle that did not work.


The files so far

  1. 01

    The Chair in the Driveway

    Every Tuesday at six, a man sits in his driveway for twenty minutes. No visitors. Four years.

  2. 02

    One Table

    One table, no menu, no prices, never advertised, full every night for nine years.

  3. 03

    Arrivals

    He buys a ticket, flies four hours, and flies home on the next plane. He never leaves the airport at either end.

  4. 04

    Return to Sender

    A parcel arrives every month. She photographs it, weighs it, and posts it back without opening it.

  5. 05

    The House That Is Never Dark

    One house on a normal street, lights on twenty-two hours a day. Nobody lives there. Nobody complains.

Nothing to buy yet

If enough people ask for the answers, the paid version is a set of files with the answer written out and the reason most readers miss it — which is the part that is actually hard to write, and the part a search engine will not give you.

Building that before anyone asks would be guessing. The comments decide it.

The other thing this site does is read old systems — the five elements, four pillars, the I Ching. Those tools are here. They have nothing to do with the files above.
