>11. A servant must not be chosen by the author as the culprit. This is begging a noble question. It is a too easy solution. The culprit must be a decidedly worth-while person — one that wouldn't ordinarily come under suspicion.

-Teatrice, Shkanontrice, Shkanon, shannon, Kanon and the other servants can't be the main culprit, they can be accomplices, but not the culprit.

>12. There must be but one culprit, no matter how many murders are committed. The culprit may, of course, have a minor helper or co-plotter; but the entire onus must rest on one pair of shoulders.

-One culprit throughout all stories, ryu probably broke this one

>13. Secret societies, camorras, mafias, et al., have no place in a detective story.

-Mariage Sorciere has no impact on the murders

>14. The method of murder, and the means of detecting it, must be be rational and scientific.

-Backed up by knox as well

>15. The truth of the problem must at all times be apparent — provided the reader is shrewd enough to see it. By this I mean that if the reader, after learning the explanation for the crime, should reread the book, he would see that the solution had, in a sense, been staring him in the face-that all the clues really pointed to the culprit — and that, if he had been as clever as the detective, he could have solved the mystery himself without going on to the final chapter. That the clever reader does often thus solve the problem goes without saying.

-Definitely in, this has been stated several times that the game is solvable by ep 4, ep 5 incompetent guy solved it.
