Can you figure this out...

During a recent murder mystery weekend, four games were played. In one game Miss Scarlet uses the spanner, but not in the library. In another game the rope was used in the study, but not by Colonel Mustard. During one game the gun was used in the conservatory, whilst in another game Professor Plum was not to be found in the library. Colonel Mustard was never in the conservatory and Mrs White never used the rope. The lead piping may or may not have been used in the kitchen.

Can you determine who used what and where?

Yep, MugaHay is right from my figurings!

but hang on. They are four separate games. So if Professor Plum was not to be found in the library in one of the games, does that mean he wasn't to be found there in all three other games too? :\

Yeah... If you did that on your own and not going from the site I PM'd you then that was very smart.

Can you explain how you got it?

The second number of each set is the sum of the two numbers from the previous set. The first number from each set is the sum of the second number from the previous set and the second number from the current set.

Edit: sorry about the double post.

99/70: each successive term better approximates the square root of two and is formed as (a + 2b) / (a + b).

EDIT: Just as explained.

No, I did it myself... How do I type it...

The first is 1, the second is 1 1/2, third 1 2/5, fourth 1 5/12, fifth 12/29 notice the pattern with the fractions?

Oh damn, serves me right for not carrying my supposition through the entire set, still ... it holds up until the last supplied element

Damn it, stop putting these things in front of me!

Am I to assume there's meant to be two shapes following because of the ==?== There has to be two shapes.

*edit* Okay, since I didn't get an answer, I'm taking a stab and saying it's octagon, hexagon.

Sorry I didn't hang around. I was here for ages before. Anyway it is a square.

Square: consider the number of sides involved. Square the first shape's sides and the remaining shapes add up to this number. hexagon = 6, 6 * 6 = 36, 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + square = 36.
