Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Would you survive a ski lodge in real life? Are you clever, inconspicuous, and lucky enough to find out who the murderer is before you are murdered? Take this short quiz and find out!

(FYI a ski lodge is an activity on the CB where someone, usually under an alias, writes a story where the CBers in it are murdered one at a time and those who remain guess who killed them.)  

Read carefully and answer honestly; your life depends on it! 

1. You flip a coin. How likely is it to be in your favor?

a. I usually win these sorts of things 

b. I usually lose these sorts of things

c. Six of one, half dozen of the other

d. I don't really keep track of these things 

2. You're stranded on top of a church tower. The door down is locked and it's getting dark. There is a house nearby, but you recently stole something from its owner. What do you do? (bonus points if you know where this came from!)

a. I go to sleep. Someone will find me in the morning.

b. I scream for help. Maybe I can talk my way out of the theft. 

c. I try to find a way to climb down.

a. I try to be like Sherlock Holmes and examine all the evidence

b. I cry profusely

c. I mourn their loss, but it was probably just an accident.

7. After someone else dies in that same scenario, everyone else starts suspecting that YOU did it! What do you do?
