Seems like she's in the wrong kind of court... Note: This is a somewhat different style than the first two UCSS and is also based on a recent puzzle on the LTPF Forum by another member |

I mean, was she the only one not playing? nobody was playing, but you're making an FA Is any of the following relevant: Her physical appearance? Her religious background? Her ethnic background? Her major? Habits? Character traits? Skills? No to all, but another very basic detail is Was she saying it in a "normal" voice? Or shouting? irrelevant, assume normal voice. |

Is she Tiffany Hayes? Yes! And the criminal is Michael Hayes? No, but very OTRT. And you still have to figure out why Tiffany seemed like she was "in the wrong court" which should at this point be easy once you determine the other puzzle, which you still haven't. |

May we please have a recap and/or hint as to the other puzzle/puzzle setter? He's a male LTPF Member who is not me, Balin, Peter365 or Rbruma. And he made this puzzle within the last few weeks. But he didn't just join within the past few weeks. So I'm really not sure what other hints to give you because I can only think of two LTPF members who meet all those requirements. And he's one of them. But here's your recap ******RECAP****** Tiffany Hayes made some relevant statement regarding the UConn Women's Basketball team. And something relevant happened concerning a criminal named Hayes who was not Michael Hayes. This criminal murdered, burglarized, arsonized, and may have raped (I'm not sure). There is some reason that would cause me to think Tiffany Hayes belonged in the criminal court of law instead of on the basketball court. This puzzle is similar to a recent one by another male LTPF member who is not Me, Balin, Peter365, or Rbruma. And the said LTPF Member did not just join within the last few weeks. Once you determine the other puzzle, you should EASILY be able to solve this one. So that's basically all you have left to do. Figuring out the other Hayes might be nice (and perhaps make it slightly easier to make a connection with the other puzzle) but is not necessary. You have figured out his name is Hayes. You could whittle away at this the long way (essentially solving this in the exact same manner you solved the other puzzle), or you could just find the other puzzle. It's up to you. What will you shoose?

I'm back, so **********SPOILER********** Gregory posted the following as his Facebook status on March 11: Just saw the following two headlines on the Hartford Courant's website, one on top of the other: "Tiffany Hayes Looks to Lead Huskies in NCAA Tournament". and right below that "Komisarjevsky Told Police Hayes Set Home Aflame" (referring to Steven Hayes in the Cheshire Home Invasion Case but it took me a few seconds to realize that) So the relevant puzzle is Biograd's "He got off easy" which dealt with a similar headline mishap. The other not-as-relevant puzzle is my "Outside of space and time" dealing with the Cheshire home invasion case. |

Thanks Balin. Why the blue? And of course, Tiffany Hayes and the Huskies shockingly lost in the Final Four. But the preseason predictions were right - UConn did win the national championship. Unfortunately, they got the sex wrong. |
