[CoffeeBean] Photo Finish

[CoffeeBean]

A man goes on a trip. When he's driven halfway, he gets out of his car and takes a picture.

[hoodie]

A travel trip? drug trip?

Halfway to his trip destination? Or halfway to something else?

Is "takes a picture" meant to be interpreted the same as "snaps a photo"? Or do you mean, "there is a picture there, and he takes it"?

Assuming the former, is it relevant what he uses to take the picture? Camera? Phone?
Does he take a picture of a specific object? Objects? Scenery?
Does he take the picture so that he will remember something? As proof/evidence?
Does this puzzle involve crime?

[hoodie]

You answered yes to this being a "white collar" crime. So would it be safe to say that acquiring money is the end goal? Or perhaps to avoid having to pay money? Are taxes relevant?

You also answered "no" to "fraud" being the crime? If fraud is defined as illegal deception for the purpose of financial gain, then is this fraud?

Is it relevant who actually owns the coyote? Is it a friend? family member?

If he can trick people into thinking that he knows something about coyotes and possibly that he owns them, will it benefit him because people will:

trust him?
invest money?

believe he has spent his time doing something other than what he has been doing?
believe he has good intentions?
believe he has expertise?

[Earnest]

Sorry for jumpin' in.

Did he pretend that the pic was taken suddenly? Without he expecting to take it? Was so.ething in backgroung relevant? Did he eventually modified the pic? Are social media relevant?

Relevant what coyotes do in life? Where they live?

[CoffeeBean]

Not hunting: protection? Yes Show of strength? Of cunning? Of power? Not these

A whale? A mouse? Ha ha, certainly not these A snake? Possibly, but his plan would not work nearly as well with this
Relevant what coyotes do in life? Where they live? YES to both

[CoffeeBean]

This puzzle is based partly on something that happened just a few months ago in our neighborhood. Think about this, especially regarding that last set of questions...

[GalFisk]

Do coyotes: attack humans? Kids? Pets? Livestock? Scare people? Make noise? Root through garbage? Get in the way? Get into civilization too much? Get too used to humans? Get hit by cars? Is he selling a car? Or car accessory?

[CoffeeBean]

Wire fence? Barbed wire? Netting? Wooden? This Sheet metal?
Does the fence protect against coyotes? Does he claim that it does? Yes, it does and he plans to claim that it does

[GalFisk]

Is he planning to lie about the fence? About himself? About coyotes?

[CoffeeBean]

Is he planning to lie about the fence? No
About himself? About coyotes? He plans to be deceptive about himself and this particular coyote, yes
Edit: does he plan to sell the fences where they're not needed? Does he want to scare his potential customers? Yes-ish, he plans to use fear to sell fences, and in some cases the fences may not be needed.

[GalFisk]

Does he plan to say that this particular coyote was stopped by the fence? Interacted with the fence? Was in an area where it wasn't? Is he planning to lie about where he lives? How he himself uses the fence? Where coyotes are likely to be?

[CoffeeBean]

Does he plan to say that this particular coyote was stopped by the fence? No, the opposite!
Interacted with the fence? No Was in an area where it wasn't? Yes
Is he planning to lie about where he lives? No, he will tell the truth about this, but... How he himself uses the fence? ...yes, he will say that he uses a certain type of fence, and...Where coyotes are likely to be? ...he will also be truthful about this (because of something relevant). He is only planning to lie about one thing that is related to the coyote, himself, and the fence...

[GalFisk]

Will he claim that the coyote jumped the fence? Broke the fence? Tipped the fence over? Dug under the fence? Went around the fence? Went into the neighbour's yard instead, because he himself had such great fence? Will he claim that he uses the fence he's selling? That he uses some other fence?

That he uses some other fence? No Is he selling anything apart from this one type of fence? Probably, but he has discovered a way to hopefully sell a lot of one kind of fence...

[GalFisk]

So he's going to say something like "I have this great fence, which I will sell to you, which keeps coyotes out. My neighbour has an inferior fence, so this coyote jumped over it, but I killed it."
And the lie is that this never happened? Because it rarely happens? Because he has no neighbour? Because he lives somewhere else than he's going to claim? Because the neighbour has a superior fence? Is he going to make it look like coyote attacks are more frequent or more dangerous than they are?

[CoffeeBean]

So he's going to say something like "I have this great fence, which I will sell to you, which keeps coyotes out. My neighbour has an inferior fence, so this coyote jumped over it, but I killed it."
Yes, this is what he plans to say.


And the lie is that this never happened? The truth is that a coyote did jump a fence but he will lie when he says that he killed it..
Because it rarely happens? Well rarely for some people
Because he has no neighbour? Oh he has neighbors, LOTS of them!

Because he lives somewhere else than he's going to claim? He will be truthful about where he lives but then immediately follow that information with the important lie
Because the neighbour has a superior fence? Yes he will say this
Is he going to make it look like coyote attacks are more frequent or more dangerous than they are?
Yes, and this is related to the lie he will tell and one other thing that actually happened

[trebor]

Is the lie that coyotes are common (or a threat) in the area in which he resides? Is it relevant what type of residence either OH or his neighbours live in? Can coyotes jump high enough to get over he inferior fences? Can they bypass them another way? Same questions for the fencing he’s selling.

[CoffeeBean]

Is the lie that coyotes are common (or a threat) in the area in which he resides? It is a lie to say that they are common, but it is not a lie to say that they are a threat (see below).
Is it relevant what type of residence either OH or his neighbours live in? The exact type of residence is not relevant but there is one relevant aspect of both houses
Can coyotes jump high enough to get over he inferior fences? Yes, they can, and this is the threat that will be mentioned (and, because of something that has just recently happened, he will be able to prove this)
Can they bypass them another way? Unknown but not relevant
Same questions for the fencing he’s selling. No, coyotes cannot jump high enough to get over the kind of fence that he's selling, and they cannot bypass it any other way

[GalFisk]

Is he lying about more than the fact that they are common and the circumstances of the killing of the one in the photo? Is a recent news story relevant? Is some rome recent event relevant? Some public knowledge or belief?

[CoffeeBean]

Is he lying about more than the fact that they are common and the circumstances of the killing of the one in the photo? No, those are the two things he will be lying about
Is a recent news story relevant? Is some recent event relevant? Some public knowledge or belief? Yes to all of this

[GalFisk]

Was the coyote in the news story killed? Was it the same coyote he's being photographed with?

[CoffeeBean]

Was the coyote in the news story killed? No (and he's very likely going to mention this to people) Was it the same coyote he's being photographed with? No - good q

[GalFisk]

Did the coyote in the news story: get captured? Get away? Get seen? Photographed? Is he pretending that he's being photographed with the coyote from the news story? Is there anything special with the coyote in the news story? With the coyote he's being photographed with? Is he going to pretend to be involved in the news story?

[CoffeeBean]

Did the coyote in the news story: get captured? Get away? The assumption is that it got away, the purpose of the story was not so much to say what eventually happened to the coyote but to make people aware of something that it did

[GalFisk]

Is the thing mentioned in the story, that he will lie about, something related to: locations? Fences? Coyotes? Humans? Him? Danger?

[CoffeeBean]

Is the thing mentioned in the story, that he will lie about, something related to: locations? Fences? Coyotes? Humans? Danger? Yes, all of these are mentioned in the original story

[CoffeeBean]

RECAP

A man takes a trip to another man's house where a coyote has been killed. When he gets there, he has a picture taken of himself with the dead coyote (which he didn't kill). Then he returns home. He will use the photo and information from a recent news story to promote his fence sales business. The story had information about a coyote that was photographed but presumably was not captured or killed. The man will be truthful about the original story but will lie about one major thing about himself in order to get people to buy his fences. His lie relates to peoples' fear of danger from coyotes.

[GalFisk]

Will he claim to be involved in the news story? To know more about the story than what was reported? To have suffered from coyote activity?

[CoffeeBean]

Will he claim to be involved in the news story? He will claim, truthfully, that the news story relates to him.

Was it the name of a fence? Fence company? Coyote? Pet? None of these
Was the story shared in a specific facebook group? YES A specific circle Yes, but... of friends? ...most of the people in the group do not know each other, there are some among the group who are friends but it's not likely that many of them know very many others among the group Relevant who wrote the story?

[GalFisk]

Does the man claim to be from this area? Is the man from this area? Does he claim the coyote was killed in this area? Has he pulled this kind of scam before? Will he do it again later? Relevant?

[CoffeeBean]

Does the man claim to be from this area? Is the man from this area? Yes to both
Does he claim the coyote was killed in this area? YES, that's the lie!
Has he pulled this kind of scam before? Will he do it again later? Relevant? He was motivated based on the original news post.

All that's left is to discover one relevant aspect of the photo in the original news story

[GalFisk]

Was the man in that photo? Or could he reasonably claim to be? Did he dress up as someone in that photo for his own photo?

[CoffeeBean]

Was the man in that photo? Or could he reasonably claim to be? No, there were no people in the original photo.
Did he dress up as someone in that photo for his own photo? No. Both photos have things in common, but it's not people.

[GalFisk]

Relevant things in common: a coyote? A fence? A location? A landscape? Is his own photo made out to look like it was taken in a different location from where it actually was? Does he place the fence he's selling in his own photo? Is the type of fence he's selling present in the news story photo? Is another type of fence present?

[CoffeeBean]

Relevant things in common: a coyote? A fence? Yes, both of these are in both photos A location? Not the exact same place but same type of place A landscape? No
Is his own photo made out to look like it was taken in a different location from where it actually was? No, but he will say that it was taken in a place that's not the actual location where it was taken
Does he place the fence he's selling in his own photo? No Is the type of fence he's selling present in the news story photo? No Is another type of fence present? YES, and this is very relevant

[GalFisk]

Is this other type of fence coyote proof? Is this other type of fence used by his potential customers? Is he going to claim tha the dead coyote jumped over or otherwise bypassed the type of fence in the photo?

[CoffeeBean]

Is this other type of fence coyote proof? No, but everybody thought that it was!
Is this other type of fence used by his potential customers? Many of them, yes
Is he going to claim that the dead coyote jumped over or otherwise bypassed the type of fence in the photo? Yes! And it did. Something about the coyote in the original photo along with this claim will be his main selling points.

[GalFisk]

Doe he claim that the original coyote and the dead coyote is the same one? Are they actually the same one?

[CoffeeBean]

Doe he claim that the original coyote and the dead coyote is the same one? Are they actually the same one? They aren't the same, and nobody knows what became of the coyote in the first picture because of the situation going on when the photo was taken. He will take credit for killing the second coyote (which he didn't actually do) and then will reference something about the coyote in the first photo which also shows a fence that people believed would prevent coyotes from getting onto their property. This information will make it very easy for him to sell his kind of fence.

[CoffeeBean]

All that's left to discover is what the coyote in the first photo is doing that would make it very easy for this guy to sell his fences...

[GalFisk]

Is it jumping over a fence? Otherwise bypassing it? Is it on the wrong side of a fence? Is it with other animals? With fenced-in animals? Did it chase, hurt or kill any animals?

[CoffeeBean]

Is it jumping over a fence? YES, at least in the process of doing this! Otherwise bypassing it? See below
Is it on the wrong side of a fence? You could say that... Is it with other animals? Very close to them, yes
With fenced-in animals? Yes Did it chase, hurt or kill any animals? Unknown...

**** SPOILER ****

The original story was primarily of a large coyote perched atop a 4 foot high fence. Someone had taken the photo when they saw the coyote jump up onto the fence around their yard. In the photo are some household pets very near where the coyote is perched. The purpose of the photo and story was to warn residents of a very large community that a coyote had been seen in the area and was a danger to household pets. Even though many residents had a 4 foot high fence, the photo showed that this was not high enough to keep coyotes out of yards. The man in the story got a call from his brother who lived in another town, he had just killed a coyote on his property. So the man drove to his brother's house and had a photo taken of himself with the dead coyote. Now, he will go back to his own town and post the photo from the original story along with his new photo, claiming that either the same coyote or another one got into his yard and he killed it before it killed his pets. The original photo will show that a 4 foot high fence is clearly not high enough to keep coyotes out, so residents should pay him to install the fences he sells which are 6 feet high and much more effective at keeping coyotes out.

Nice job to all, mostly Galfisk who worked tirelessly!
