Alright, time for another contest. If you already have an ID, don't enter :)
Ok, this is a riddle. You can ask yes or no questions or guess to solve the riddle. First person to come up with the correct solution gets an ID, and if you are in North America, you will get it mailed to you!

Here's the riddle:
A police detective enters a house of a suspected criminal. The man is in the middle a large room empty room, and has been hanged from the ceiling fan with a short rope, and his feet are about 4 feet from the ground. There is a short suicide note, but it could have been faked. The floor is very wet and the sun is shining. If this man commited suicide, how did he get up so high to hang himself from the ceiling fan as it was a mainly empty room?

Remember, Yes or No questions can be asked of me or you can try to solve it.

No, it was the line "the floor is very wet" which was a giveaway. There was only one possible reason why it might be relevant.

D.Phil = Doctor of Philosophy = PhD.
