96-year-old Leeland Davidson of Centralia, Wash., USA, discovered in early 2011 that he wasn't officially an American because his parents did not fill out the proper paperwork! Due to missing genes, aspirin is extremely toxic to all cats- from tabbies to tigers! Based only on serial numbers from a few captured tanks and the use of a mathematical formula- allied intelligence was able to estimate almost the exact number of German tanks built during World War II!

That fact about cats and aspirin is something I, unfortunately, found out about the hard way. My cat swallowed a tylenol pill and nearly died from it. We’ve been very careful about aspirin around her.

To solve The Case of the Missing Genes, trace the geneology of the cats and find out where the genes were misplaced!

Maybe the mathematical formula that found the number of German tanks can locate the missing genes, but we need the cats’ serial numbers.

Actually, the only that impressed me is how the Allies in the Pacific managed to accurately estimate the number of Japanese troops by counting the number of latrines caught in aerial photographs.
