<p>A person dies in the ocean.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Basically he went hunting but she sewed magnets into the fingertips of his gloves, so he got lost and couldn’t get home.</p>
<p>
Can we get a summary of the whole thing though? Are there any insignificant parts we didn’t touch on? I’m curious. :)</p>
<p>EDIT:
Ah, ok. Clever story. ;)</p>

<p>Okay, back to my puzzle: why was a man arrested for having a pebble in his pocket?</p>
<p>Determined so far:
Evidence of a crime
Against the law in most developed countries, but not in the way you think</p>
<p>Only one pebble?
Special kind of pebble?
Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary? (fifth grade science here :))
Front pocket of pants?
Back of pants?
Pocket on shirt?
Cargo Pocket?
Left or right?
Does the man’s location matter?
Does the pebble’s location matter?
Do the specific police matter?
Does your life matter? Can I have it? jk
Would I be arrested with the pebble in my pocket?
How expensive is the pebble?
Does it belong to someone else?
Did the man steal the pebble?
Did someone else steal the pebble?
Is this a conspiracy against the man?</p>

<p>Did the man “take” the pebble? (Did he pick it up and put it in his pocket?)
Did the man take the pebble knowing he could be arrested?
Did anyone else know that he could be arrested for having the pebble?
Did the man’s location matter at some point?
Did/does the pebble’s location in the world matter?
Is this pebble from nature in a place where taking nature is illegal?</p>
