It had the same vibes as the penultimate case of each game where a key character is murdered in a particularly violent and inexplicable way. I could even hear the electric guitar music as they investigated the scene xD<br /><br />I had encountered the same solution while reading a book on ballistics and did try to turn it into an impossible crime, but couldn't figure out how to make it work. The execution in this book still has flaws, but I found it easier to believable in the Danganronpa universe where the physics are more cartoony and everyone has ridiculous S-level skills!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-16446205845315175512018-10-19T09:08:43.842+02:002018-10-19T09:08:43.842+02:00Oh man, The X Street Murders, totally forgot about...Oh man, The X Street Murders, totally forgot about that one!

Carr's The Hollow Man and "The New Invisible Man" are definitely up there for me (the second involves a shooting with an autonomous pair of gloves). The impossible shooting in The Man Who Could Not Shudder was also very clever.<br /><br />There's also Joseph Commings' "The X Street Murders" and "Murderer's Progress". The first has a man shot by a gun that was in a sealed envelope, and the second has a bullet that took around an hour to reach its victimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-50285054944670506602018-10-18T11:51:12.407+02:002018-10-18T11:51:12.407+02:00Oh, that's a good one indeed! :DOh, that's a good one indeed! :DHo-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-30411185806014091172018-10-16T23:18:05.958+02:002018-10-16T23:18:05.958+02:00Haha, then allow me to chime in :D
Awasaka Tsumao&...Haha, then allow me to chime in :D<br />Awasaka Tsumao's "The Discombobulation of A Aiichirou" short story collection had a pretty darn good one: Shoujou no Ougon Kamen ("The Golden Mask on Top of her Hands"). How did the killer shoot a masked man over a great distance with a crooked gun with absolute accuracy? The solution was simple, elegant and takes a bit of out-of-box thinking.deltazechshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060233179207796738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-13321801302975794652018-10-16T11:53:45.878+02:002018-10-16T11:53:45.878+02:00You know, I really *should* be able to come up wit...You know, I really *should* be able to come up with at least a few titles, but I can't come up with any good titles at the moment! I guess that being less focused on impossible crimes in general makes it harder for me to come up with a particular outstanding impossible shooting example right now.<br /><br />Or, I'm just very, very forgetful.Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-42211236046615142312018-10-16T11:50:57.566+02:002018-10-16T11:50:57.566+02:00I've been quite lazy the last few years to be ...I've been quite lazy the last few years to be honest, basically only using song lyrics :PHo-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-55999990932886860032018-10-16T08:48:54.205+02:002018-10-16T08:48:54.205+02:00A mirror house shooting sounds like a cool idea, s...A mirror house shooting sounds like a cool idea, shame it didn't turn out very good.
