to the bus stop for school every morning. Today was my turn,
and as me and all the other moms in the neighborhood waited
one of them asked me to say hello to my wife.
“I will,” I said. “it’ll make her feel better. She has
pneumonia…”
“Oh, poor girl,” they all said in unison.
One of them crooked her eyebrow at me and said, “I hope
you’re helping her with the kids, the cooking and cleaning.”
“I can’t,” I said pointing to the band aid
on my index finger.“Hangnail.”😎
“All right, let’s get back to the pier.”
In this scene, U.S. Customs Agent David Kujan (Chazz Palminteri) is questioning Roger “Verbal” Kint (Kevin Spacey), a small-time con man and cripple, about a massive explosion and fire that has taken place on a ship docked at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro Bay. Police investigating this explosion have found 27 dead bodies and $91 million worth of supposed drug money, and the only survivors are a severely burned and very scared Hungarian gangster and Kint. Verbal’s story, which is told through flashbacks, begins six weeks earlier with five criminals being brought in for a lineup for a hijacked truck (the usual suspects) and ends with the ship blowing up and a mysterious, unseen criminal named Keyser Soze. There is a surprising ending, which I won’t give away in case you haven’t seen this movie! A list on the IMDb of “Twists In The End” rated “The Usual Suspects” as beating out “Psycho,” “The Silence of the Lambs,” “Chinatown,” “The Shining,” “The Sixth Sense” and “Witness for the Prosecution.”

First names: David, Joanne, Richard, Xavier, Yvette
Last names: Bridge, Hall, Rade, Richburgh, Sands
Ages: 22, 24, 26, 29, 33
Color-codes: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange
Round Eliminated: Logic, Rebus, Maths, Face-off, Winner
Round 1 (LOGIC): This round was straight forward for Xavier, Miss Bridge and the player aged 29. The green player and the player aged 26 did not find this round as easy. It was a close call but in the end, the yellow player was eliminated.
Round 2 (REBUS): This round was slightly harder, however it was a walk in the park for Richard, who came in first place for this round. Yvette, Mr Rade and the red player did not find this round as easy. However, after she realised what she was doing wrong, The 22-year-old quickly took second place. Now it was just up to Xavier and the 29-year-old, however it was all over for Mr Rade.
Round 3 (MATHEMATICS): Once again, the difficulty level increases as the remaining three players try their math skills. No-one seemed to do particularly well here. The first place finisher was Miss Bridge. The battle for a spot in the Face-off was between Xavier and the green player. He put everything he knew into this round, however it wasn’t enough to save Mr Hall, our unfortunate 33-year-old.
Face-off: Two players remain with the same goal: to become the very first winner of “Radical Rush”. The 22-year-old and Mr Richburgh must race each-other in a maze. Whoever reaches the end first, wins the game. It was a race too close to call, however the red player was fast enough to steal victory from the very unfortunate orange player.
ROUND 1: Logic
Joanne Sands, 26, Yellow
ROUND 2: Rebus
David Rade, 29, Blue
ROUND 3: Mathematics
Richard Hall, 33, Green
ROUND 4: Face-off
Yvette Bridge, 22, Orange
WINNER
Xavier Richburgh, 24, Red
In round 1, we know that Xavier and Miss Bridge are not 26 and 29. Nor are they the green player. At the moment, it is unclear who the yellow player is.
It is not immediately clear who was eliminated from round 1. However we do know that Richard, Yvette and Xavier survived. We know that Richard is not Mr. Rade, because Mr Rade lost round 2, and Richard won.
In round 3, we find out that David was eliminated in round 2, because we know that Richard and Yvette made it to round 3, however we were unsure of Xavier. Although “Xavier and the green player” tells us that Xavier made it to round 3. It also tells us that Richard is the green player, and that Joanne is the yellow player and was eliminated in round 1, and tells us that Yvette is 22.
In the Face-off, we know that Yvette and one other player is left. That player could be Richard or Xavier. The player is red. We already know that Richard is green, so he was eliminated in round 3. However this doesn’t tell us who the winner is. Well, in round 2, you can tell that Yvette is not the red player, so that means that she is the orange player and Xavier is red, and Xavier won.
You can also gather other clues with the information.
