Detective Rossi looked at the ransom note cut from yesterday's newspaper. The kidnapper demanded one million dollars. Rossi immediately noticed the word 'tomorrow' was spelled correctly, but the newspaper used for the cutouts did not publish a Sunday edition. Why did this catch the kidnapper?
The Sunday edition
If the paper doesn't publish on Sundays, and the note was cut from 'yesterday's' paper, today must be Monday, meaning the note was prepared well in advance or the alibi fails.
