The Unlucky Ball



Stage Five Billiard Room

Summary
Mr. Goodsport was found dead at 5:12 AM. The previous night he had challenged Mr. Kent to a high stakes game of billiards. Mr. Kent was arrested, but claims the death was accidental due to underestimating his own strength. You do not have access to the autopsy report.

Solution
Mr. Kent murdered Mr. Goodsport by transforming the billiard table into a rail gun — and a special pure silver eight ball into the bullet. All he needed to do was make sure Mr. Goodsport was standing at the end of the table when he struck the eight ball into a pocket.
