SECTION:

1. Alpha and Bravo were lovers. Bravo wanted to marry Alpha but Alpha is already married. Alpha thought of killing his
wife, Charlie. He prepared her food every morning, and every morning, he placed a little dose of poison into the
food of Charlie. Charlie consumed all the food prepared by Alpha including the poison but nothing happened to her.
Because of the volume of the household chores that Charlie had to attend to daily, she developed a physical
condition that rendered her so strong and resistance to any kind of poisoning, so the amount of poison applied to
her breakfast has no effect to her. Is there an impossible crime?

3. Alpha and Bravo are roommate in a dormitory. Every day, Alpha leaves for work but before leaving he would always
lock the food cabinet where he kept his food. Bravo hated this. One day, he got an electric cord tied the one end to
the door knob and plugged the other end to an electric outlet. The idea was that, when Alpha comes home to open
the door knob, he would be electrocuted. Unknown to Bravo, Alpha is working in an electronic shop where he
received a daily dosage of electric shock. When Alpha opened the doorknob, nothing happened to him. He was just
surprised to find out that there was an electric cord plugged to the outlet and the other hand to the door knob. Is an
impossible crime committed?
