>NUMBER ONE Puzzle
>
>A wealthy man had been counting his money. When he finished, he accidentally
left a $100.00 bill on his desk. But when he returned for it a short while
later, it was gone. Only two other persons could have seen the bill. One was the
maid and the other was the butler.
>
>The maid told him that she had hidden it for safekeeping under a green book
that was on the desk. But when they looked the bill was not there. The butler
said he had found the bill where the maid had left it. He had placed it inside
the book, where he thought there was less chance that would find it.
>
>He had written down the page numbers so that he would not forget them. The bill
was between pages 35 and 36, he said. But when they looked, there was no money
in the book.
>
>After Mr Ellis had talked to the maid and the butler, he called the police. He
was sure he knew who had taken the money. Who was it, and how did he know?
