anaphylactic shock from exposure to peanut butter.

3. The circumference of a persons’ head is directly linked to how clever they are. The larger the circumference the
further apart the brain cells are and therefore the less intelligent a person is.
Anyone with a head circumference of over 58 cm to 2 significant figures would not have been clever enough to
carry out this crime. Remember C = πd

4. Scientists have found a fool-proof formula for catching villains, work out the following for each suspect:

Age (1 s.f.) x weight (1 s.f.) x height (1 s.f.)

The person who committed the crime has a final answer between 4000 and 10000 and hasn’t already been eliminated.
