Since there are 53 bicycles instead of one or two, we must assume that the owner of the garage is a thief. He also stole the poker table with his crew, and they decided to play poker in the garage. The one who wins gets all the bicycles and the poker table. But they found out that the owner of the garage was cheating, so they shot him. Being young, they panicked and ran away, leaving the body, 53 bicycles and poker table in the garage.       IP Logged Roy42 Senior Riddler     Gender: Posts: 418 Re: Poker Death   « Reply #7 on: Jul 29th, 2008, 9:40pm » Quote Modify Are the bicycles in any particular position, like are they in a pile, or crushing the man, anything like that?

BrentNewt Newbie     Posts: 1 Re: Poker Death   « Reply #9 on: Jul 30th, 2008, 4:19pm » Quote Modify The 53 Bicycles refer to the 'Bicycle' brand of playing cards used in the game. Because there are only 52 cards in a regular deck, we know that the man had snuck in an extra Ace (or some other beneficial card) and was shot for his crime.
