Jutting out from the rock is some PVC pipline, 2.5 inches in diameter.

Its L shaped so:

anything else = pipe
(back to front L shape)

Inside that pipe, a 2 inch diameter ping pong ball is dropped. It stays down there, it doesnt roll along the pipe.

(The pipe does lead anywhere, its covered by cement at the end, so nothing can come out of it etc)

You have a shaving mirror, a few paper clips, some string a magnet and a comb.
Get the ping pong ball out.

That was the correct answer.

First Question:
Shadow watched in horror as the convertible sports car seemed to lose control. It crashed through the guard rail, causing the driver to be thrown out of the car and down a 50 meter cliff. Shadow scrambled down the incline to the body. The bloodied driver was pronounced dead, About ten meters away the car lay on its side. Shadow examined the car and immediately noticed several things; the buckle from the driver's seat belt was missing, the driver's seat was covered in fresh blood, and one of the four new tires was punctured by a large nail. Shadow was certain the driver had not been killed in the car accident, but was already dead. Why?

He killed the driver? I'm guessing the nail and the seat buckle are red herrings.

Also, the fact that there is blood on the seat when there wouldn't be any just from the accident.

Maybe the name shadow has something to do with it.

Just to make it clear

Shadow is a detective, Sid Shady is a criminal, Slug is a gansta (most of the time) Shadow is always a detective, always good.

Ok. I don't know who those other 2 guys are though.

The driver had been shot? Or stabbed or blunt instrument or whatever, something obviously not from the car crash.

Thats close enough to the correct answer

Answer: Since the driver had been thrown from the car upon impact with the guard rail, there was no chance of his blood being all over the car seat unless he was put there.

Close enough to end the question, not close enough to get any points.

Next Question:
Professor Quantum was giving a lecture on "The Life of Aristocracy in the 19th Century". "It was during a large festive gathering of nobility," began Quantum, "when a fairly common occurence took place. The Queen suddenly attacked and killed the King. The crowd watched the entire scene and then casuall continued their party. In what situation in the 19th century would a crowd be so casual about the Queen killing the King?"
