The Curious Case of The Missing Fishing Pole Magnet


"Holmes."
"Yes Watson?"
"I have a new case for us."
"Go on."
"It involves a most curious toy fishing pole. You see it's part of a Puzzle. This little fishing pole picks up puzzle pieces..."
"Would you please get on with it Watson. I'm a busy man."
"Yes Well, there's this little round magnet attached to the fishing pole line. The line is still there but the little magnet, it's missing. It belongs to this lad Jack."
"Was there anything else attached to the magnet?"
"Yes it was enclosed in a piece of wood. Except for the magnet part sticking out.
"How big was the object?"
"Roughly the size of a pencil eraser."
"Got it. He swallowed it."
"No. His parents took him to the emergency room and he was x-rayed."
"And?"
"And nothing."
"Surely it's in the house somewhere."
"An exhaustive search ensued with absoloutely no results."
"Who manufactures these puzzles?"
"They go by the name of Melissa and Doug."
"What have they had to say about it?"
"I actually haven't talked them."
"And you call yourself a sleuth. Watson, get me either Melissa or Doug on the phone right now."
"Right."
"And do not tell Scotland Yard."
"Of course not."
"We shall examine Jack's house again as well in case his Parents may have missed something. It seems we have ourselves a case Watson."
