    Solve the mystery

    Inspector Ixolite of the Yard was investigating a murder at Nottonmye Manor.
    It was a difficult case, and Ixolite was completely stumped until he noticed a message sent to him by the killer cunningly hidden in a newspaper advertisement selling Car Licence Plates.
    Inspector Ixolite thought about it for a while, and when he had solved the puzzle, immediately arrested the guilty man.

    Q1) How Did Ixolite know the advert was a clue for him?

    Q2) Solve the code and tell me who Ixolite arrested?

    This is the newspaper advert, (Car licence plates for sale) that Inspector Ixolite saw.

    Plates For Sale;

    [W 05 NWO]
    [H 13 HSR ]
    [O 05 EBM]
    [D 08 UNE]
    [U 10 HTY]
    [N 04 BRE]
    [N 16 TTE]
    [I 26 LHC ]
    [T 10 AEE]
    [I 26 CNA]

    Re: Solve the mystery

    i found the answer for Q1. If you see that advertisement first letter for each car(see it in vertical), you can get the word. WHODUNNITIX

    WHO DUNN IT IX - This is how he found that adver has a clue.

    So remaining two columns contains the clue for the criminal. But i can't get that clue..

    Re: Solve the mystery

    Suvi gave the useful clue...also it was very tough to find the answer...

    Here is the answer...

    look at the clue..he wrote the letters in descending order. Take the third column and put it in a reverse order. You can get the following.

    advanceeachletterbythenumbershown

    From the above i will find the following sentence...

    advance each letter by the number shown

    now take out the first and second column and put the advance letters for each number. So you can get

    w = b, h = u, o = t, d = l, u = e, n = r, n = d, i = i, t = d, i = i, x = t

    Finally the sentence is...
    butler did it (this was one of toughest puzzle i have seen it)
