Who Pulled The Prank?

My breakdown of this mystery and, using process of elimination, uncovering the possible culprit.



Hmm...well, lets consider this for a while. The prank itself was a black book of sorts done Martin Luther-style. Whomever did this must have been like Luther himself in that they have alot of intestinal fortitude. Martin Luther knew that he would be threatened with imprisonment or even death for his actions. Whomever pulled the prank knew that they were facing possible suspension or even expulsion. This person either has alot of guts...or they dont have as much to lose as we think.

Now Jonah is most likely looking at a scholorship when he graduates. He would not want to risk that over some prank. That rules out Jonah. The same goes for Rebecca. The last 3 on the other hand, do not show as much interest in school. At first glance, Scarlet appears to be a likely suspect as the idea of a black book seems like her type of prank. However, it is doubtful that Scarlet would have been able to pull off such an intellectual prank (not saying that she's dumb, but she is obviously not a history major). This leaves Cy and Marley. Now Cy may not seem to care about his education but he does care about his friend at school whom needs him desperatly. If he's not there for her at school, no one else will be.

This leaves Marley whom at this point is my prime suspect. She has the motive and the know-how. She is motivated, smart, still has yet to deny her involvement and with her brother being a film major, she has the know-how to make a "95 Theses" type of video. It is still too early to tell, as we still dont know the exact contents of the video, but for now, the prime suspect is Marley.

I like the process of elimination done here. I like your thinking and you took a different take than I did with my choice with Jonah. I also pointed out that she was involved with her film major brother, so good job with the details. :) Good luck on your submission.
