    Sam Spudz the notorious crisp dealer, lay dead by the side of the tracks. He had been on a train, west bound from Dublin to New York ( smile.gif). The train had passed by this spot an hour earlier at approximately 6.30 pm.
    Garda O' Flynn quickly examined the body then slipped his sun glasses on and walked towards the sinking sun and the luggage containing Sams clothes. Further down the tracks, O' Flynn found another bag containing valuable crisps worth £15,000 (*me shrugs*).
    "Looks like Sam was about to be robbed and jumped to escape" noted Garda Caddigan.
    "Its most obvious that Mr.Spudz did not leave the train voluntarily, if he was even alive when he left" stated O' Flynn.
    Why does O'Flynn feel this way?
    (bring on the smart answers!)

    gawd, its a rabbit/fox/lettuce puzzle...

    well if he jumped voluntarily he would have thrown the clothes and crisps out first, and so they would have lain east of the body rather than west.

    as for why the assassin then threw out the clothes and crisps, f*ck knows. Maybe he hated salt and vinegar flavour...

    And with that I stand down as leader of this ancient and very sacred society. I just hope you will treat your new leader with as much love and respect as you have shown me. I bid thee farewell.
    thank you

    It also has to do with this bit
    slipped his sun glasses on and walked towards the sinking sun and the luggage containing Sams clothes

    Which must be west as that is where the sun is at 6:30 pm.

    Since the train was traveling west , objects lying to the west have been thrown out later in the timeline then those more easterly (as paw was trying to say).

    He cant have thrown them out if he wasnt on the train at that point in the timeline.

    However the puzzle is flawed as it doesnt necessarily mean that he left involuntarily.

    He could have been forgetful, jumped without the packages and an accomplice threw them out afterwards.
    Looks like Sam was about to be robbed and jumped to escape

    There is not logical reason to jump to this conclusion.
    Nor that he left involuntarily.
