Okay, I think I've dragged it out long enough. Here's the answer to Problem 5, though some of you may find it a bit disappointing :

When the problem states that the woman looked "through" the windows of her living room, the reader is meant to assume that she was inside the house, looking out. She wasn't.

The woman was coming home one night, and as she walked up the path to her house, she looked through the windows and, to her horror, she saw her butler strangling a woman inside.

She didn't call for help because, although the telephone was in working order, she had no opportunity to reach it, and nobody around to turn to for aid.
