It would be impoosible for Shadow to pull open the very same door that Sam Slug pushed open to enter the room.

So when Sam entered the room he too pulled it open. Therefore proving that Roger was lying from the beginning.

Shadow opened the door toward him, but the guy recounts the seeing the door opening toward him when hiding in the room

Yes, that's pretty much it :) Good for you two! The actual answer they gave was this, but its just semantic... the bottomline is you were both correct :D

"Ragtop's story had one flaw. He forgot which way the door swung. Shadow pulled the door toward him when they entered the room, but Ragtop claimed the door was swinging into the room when he panicked.

Shadow pulled the door opened. Therefore, it could never have swung toward the guy who shot at Sam Slug.

;D

Say hi to Ingrid for me, and i hope you're having fun, enjoying your time with her. Which im sure you are :D

Now answer the other one that I posted (i think) saturday! It shouldnt be that hard... youre a smart woman :)

LOL No actually I didn't cheat... I was surprised I managed to find out actually since I really suck at that type of things usually :)

There's no need to edit your entry :)

I am indeed having a great time, although Ingrid hasn't been feeling well the past two days, so we've just napped and seen movies and thanked God we'd gone grocery shopping :)

How are you doing ? I hope well. Good luck with work :)
