The night watchman reported a break-in at the art gallery. He claimed he heard a loud crash in the sculpture room, rushed in, and found a shattered window and a missing bronze bust. The detective inspected the broken window glass and pointed out that the watchman was lying. How did the glass prove it?
The glass was outside
If someone broke in from the outside, the broken shards of glass would fall inward onto the room's floor. If the shards were scattered on the ground outside the building, the window was broken from the inside.
