THE RIDDLER

On a cold, snowy night, Sherlock Holmes was sitting in front of the fire in his house. Suddenly, a snowball hit his window and smashed through the glass. Holmes raced up to look out the window, and was just quick enough to see three boys from the Crimson family – John, Mark and Paul – racing around a corner. The following day, Holmes received a note under his door that read:

 ? Crimson. He broke your window

Which of the three Crimson brothers should Sherlock Holmes approach about the incident?

Answer: The note can be read as “Question Mark Crimson. He broke your window”, so Holmes should talk to Mark.
