A priceless painting was sliced out of its frame during a blackout. Three suspects were in the gallery: the curator, the electrician, and the tour guide. The electrician claimed he was in the fuse box fixing the master switch. The curator said she was locking the front doors. The tour guide said he was polishing the brass plaques in the dark. Who is lying?
The tour guide
You cannot polish brass in total darkness; polish requires light to see the tarnish and verify the shine.
