A security guard reported a break-in at the museum. He claimed a thief tied him to a chair, blindfolded him, and stole the golden artifact. When Detective Vance arrived, he noticed the guard's wristwatch was still ticking loudly, but the guard's hands were tied behind the chair. How did Vance know the guard lied?
The guard checked his watch
If the guard's hands were tied behind the chair and he was blindfolded, he couldn't possibly look at his wristwatch to tell the time or verify details of the thief.
