INSPECTOR DANGER’S CRIME-QUIZ Do you love whodunit-mysteries? Are you a Columbo-fan? Would you like to be a detective too? Here’s your chance. The comic strip “Inspector Danger’s Crime-Quiz” by Werner Wejp-Olsen, world-renowned cartoonist, is a crime-puzzle challenging armchair sleuths of both genders and all ages to activate their Sherlock Holmes-gene to figure out the right solution and solve the case. The main characters are the tough and rough Inspector Danger, all criminals’ worst nightmare, and Alfie, his dim-witted assistant and still a rookie after seven years on the force. In just a few panels, a whole mystery plot is being presented with a number of suspects and clues for the reader to check out and by deduction come up with the right solution to the crime. These mysteries span from cold-blooded murders, safecracking and bank robbery to art thefts, kidnapping and every now and then even a Peeping Tom – all presented with a humorous twist. But in each strip – in each case, the reader has all the suspects and clues needed to come up with the right answer – and as a safety devise – a solution (printed upside down - sorry!).
DISCLAIMER All characters appearing in this comic strip are fictitious. Any resemblance to the real world, real crime scenes and actual criminals is purely coincidental, unintentional and not to be taken too literally.
To quote a famous Grook by Piet Hein:
“Taking fun as simply fun
and earnestness in earnest
shows how thoroughly
thou none of the two discernest.”
By the way - no animals were harmed during the production of this comic strip.

well, du´h – only other explanation is he is really lazy and want to use the roller.

An easy one this time. @Tue: The additional information we have is that the puzzle can be solved from the comic strip, so we should ignore “side effects”.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

It could have been the guy with the suitcase and wheels since the wheels look squished, from the weight of the gold.

Too Easy! Roll on the next, and hopefully, more challenging case (very punny!)

True. If I could check one and only one, that would have been my choice. The guy with the trolley is drawing way too much attention on himself.

He could have been taking the trolly back to his wife who was babysitting their six other bags!

btw – it’d have been funny if only one of the red direction arrows would point to a person, and this person is the smuggler. Maybe next time.

@ Joe Piglet. You should know that the artist of this comic is aware that his skills are sub average for daily comics and thus he will never use graphic clues in this strip… oh wait…

The man in the red coat also seems to be struggling to carry his single bag too. The trolley is definitely the give away in this one though.

those 2 are UUUUglllyy

What volume are the bars? A standard ingot weighs about 100 pounds or so IIRC. There was a display of gold on loan from the Fed Reserve at the Natural History Museum in NYC a few years ago – a stack of 25 bars (24k) – I figure that each bar was worth over a million each – 20 25 million in gold behind a 1/4 inch thick plexi cover. Security was in the weight of the GOLD itself – too HEAVY to steal.

Weight of a standard gold bar at Fort Knox: approximately 400 ounces or 27.5 pounds.

I dunno, that red arrow on the wall seemed to implicate ’most everyone. Flopville, Birthplace of the Werner.
