My husband and I did it! He managed to remember the time of death, and I contributed the cutest Zum-Zum voice, I could muster, and together, we triumphed!

Very nice. A good mystery with just enough of a twist to make it interesting.

I choose B. My gut said A until I remembered Animal Farm and the consequences of treating people โ€œmore equal.โ€ Though the scholar in me very much wants to pick C to study the social effects of random distribution.

I managed to find the murderer, and get all of the clues correct! Those hundreds of Nancy Drew books I read as a kid have finally paid off!

My decision for the counsel would have to be A. As much as I want it to be B, if our survivalists are well fed, they might be able to find something we can use to survive even longer, and feed the more vulnerable.

Well I stumbled onto that one (he said while rubbing his servo motors), anyone care to join me in the galley?

RE: the asteroid. I'm a good captain, so I'm dividing rations between those who can keep me alive the longest (engineering, the chef, the bartender), and I'm calling my sponsor at AA. If AAA is going to take that long, I need to apologies to my sponsor in case they find out I hit the bottle again after my frozen corpse is found in the wreckage.

Oh no table talk? I ultimately found the right murderer but did make a mistake in the deduction process, hard to keep everything memorized (mainly the times). I'm going to go with option B for the council of geniuses. It's an asteroid so it's not like people will be hunting or anything.
