Short/Brief Note
Advertisements

Solution

Ausable did not disclose the real method Max must have adopted to enter his room. He invented a story on the spot that it was the second time in a month someone had entered his room through the neighboring building’s balcony which extended just below his window. He made Max believe that there was another possible route of escape through the window.
