TOM:Ê His conclusion is that of the three guys one of them is an American, and the American is the one who did it, even though he caught the thing with his right hand?

RAY: Not even though-- but because. Because left-handed American boys who learn to play baseball catch with the glove on the right hand. So, if you're a lefty and something is thrown to you, might instinctively reach up with your right hand and catch it. But the American who reached up with his right hand betrayed the fact that he was a lefty-- and he was the one who wielded the knife in his left hand and stabbed the servant.

TOM: You're going to get so much mail from this puzzler.

RAY: Don't send it to me. Send it to Jason Margolese. Who's our winner?

TOM: The winner this week is Brother Jacob Gobiak from Conception Abbey in Conception, Missouri. And for having his answer selected at random, Brother Jacob will get a $26 gift certificate from the Shameless Commerce Division of Car Talk.com, where he can pick up our latest collection of Disrespectful Car Songs, Born Not To Run.
