[sherlock again] whom to question
One snowy night, Sherlock Holmes was in his house sitting by a fire. All of a sudden a snowball came crashing through his window, breaking it.
Holmes got up and looked out the window just in time to see three neighborhood kids who were brothers run around a corner. Their names were John Crimson, Mark Crimson and Paul Crimson.
The next day Holmes got a note on his door that read "? Crimson. He broke your window." Which of the three Crimson brothers should Sherlock Holmes question about the incident?
Answer
Mark Crimson. "?" = question MARK, so the note on the door reads "Question Mark Crimson. He broke your window." H/T Braingle

Ask the one whose eye level approximates most closely to the height of the note on the door.
