Let’s solve the math mystery step by step.

We are given a set of clues that lead to numbers, and those numbers help us find who committed the murder, when it happened, where the body was found, and what weapon was used.

We’ll go clue by clue.

---

Clue 1: “The last match of the day is Group F...” → Find P = sum of 64 and 98

P = 64 + 98
= 162

So, P = 162

---

Clue 2: “F = product of 19 and 8”

F = 19 × 8
= 152

So, F = 152

---

Clue 3: “C = 302 ÷ 2”

C = 302 ÷ 2
= 151

So, C = 151

---

Now we have:

- P = 162
- F = 152
- C = 151

These letters correspond to suspects:

- The Butcher → P = 162
- The Coach → F = 152
- Champ → C = 151

Wait — let’s check the image again (mentally). Actually, in the worksheet, each suspect has a letter assigned:

Looking at the layout:

- The Butcher → P
- The Coach → F
- Champ → C

But we need to see which one matches the answer for the next part.

Actually, the next instruction says:

> Solve these calculations to work out the date and time of the murder.

Then there’s a table:

Year: 2120 – (130 × 6)
Day: 4² - 1 = □
Month: Its square number is 121 → so month = √121 = 11

Let’s calculate:

Year:
2120 – (130 × 6)
First, 130 × 6 = 780
Then, 2120 – 780 = 1340

So Year = 1340

Day:
4² - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

Month:
Square number is 121 → √121 = 11

So date is: 15th November 1340

Now, look at the clock images below — they show times. We need to pick the correct time between two clocks.

Left clock: hour hand on 10, minute hand on 12 → 10:00
Right clock: hour hand on 2, minute hand on 12 → 2:00

So time slipped between 10:00 and 2:00

But we don’t yet know which exact time — maybe later clues will tell.

---

Now, back to the first part — we had P, F, C values.

But actually, looking more carefully at the worksheet structure:

There’s a section with three players:

- Left player: P = sum of 64 and 98 → 162 → labeled “The Butcher”
- Middle player: F = product of 19 and 8 → 152 → labeled “The Coach”
- Right player: C = 302 ÷ 2 → 151 → labeled “Champ”

Then below that, it says:

> NOTE: Solve these calculations to work out the date and time of the murder.

Which we did: 15/11/1340, between 10:00 and 2:00.

But then there’s another section:

On the right side, there’s a grid with symbols:

It says:

In the changing rooms, if the answer is 1518 → 🏆⚽👕 = 27
In the VIP lounge, if the answer is 1517 → 👕⚽ = 306
Near the monument, if the answer is 1518 → 🏆⚽ = 991
Inside the Token Office, if the answer is 1518 → ⚽👕 = ?

Wait — this seems like a code based on digit sums or something?

Actually, let’s read carefully:

Each line gives an equation with emojis representing digits.

For example:

🏆👕 = 27 → meaning the 3-digit number formed by those emojis equals 27? That can’t be — 27 is too small.

Wait — perhaps it’s the SUM of the digits?

Let me test:

If 🏆⚽ = 27, and it’s a 3-digit number, maybe the sum of its digits is 27?

Similarly, 👕⚽ = 306 → sum of digits = 3+0+6=9? Doesn’t match.

Alternative idea: Maybe the emojis represent digits, and the whole thing is a multiplication or addition?

Look:

First line: 🏆⚽ = 27 → could mean 🏆 × ⚽ × = 27? Or 🏆 + + 👕 = 27?

Second line: 👕⚽🏆 = 306 → if it’s a 3-digit number, then 👕 is hundreds, ⚽ tens, 🏆 units → so number is 100×👕 + 10×⚽ + = 306

Third line: 🏆⚽ = 991 → 100×🏆 + 10×👕 + ⚽ = 991

Fourth line: ⚽🏆 = ? → 100×⚽ + 10×🏆 + 👕 = ?

And we’re told:

- If answer is 1518 → use first equation → 🏆⚽ = 27
- If answer is 1517 → use second → 👕⚽ = 306
- If answer is 1518 → use third → 🏆👕 = 991
- If answer is 1518 → use fourth → ⚽🏆 = ?

But what is “the answer”? Probably from earlier calculation.

Earlier we calculated P=162, F=152, C=151

Notice: 151, 152, 162 — close to 1517, 1518?

Ah! Perhaps we need to combine them.

Maybe the “answer” refers to the value associated with the location.

But let’s look at the T-Shirt Orders section — that might give us the key.

T-Shirt Orders:

Blue: 5 shirts → 5 × 14 = 70
Red: 6 shirts → 6 × 14 = 84
Green: 7 shirts → 7 × 14 = 98
Yellow: 1 shirt → 1 × 14 = 14

Total shirts ordered: 5+6+7+1 = 19

But the question is: How many more green than blue?

Green: 7, Blue: 5 → 7 - 5 = 2

Then it says:

The murderer used a gun, if the answer is 16 → but we got 2, not 16.

Wait — perhaps “the answer” here is total cost or something else.

Let’s read:

“The Stadium Shop had ordered some football t-shirts to sell during the World Cup. How many more green than blue t-shirts have they ordered?”

That’s clearly 7 - 5 = 2.

Then:

“The murderer used a gun, if the answer is 16.” → our answer is 2, so not gun.

“The murderer used a shoe, if the answer is 23.” → not 23.

“The murderer used a spoon, if the answer is 25.” → no.

“The murderer used a silver trophy, if the answer is 22.” → no.

None match 2. So maybe I misinterpreted.

Perhaps “the answer” refers to something else in this section.

Look: below the t-shirt orders, there’s a line:

“T-Shirt Orders” and then a big “1” under yellow, and “T = 14”

Also, there’s a magnifying glass icon pointing to a blank line: “______ committed the murder”

And below: “The body was found ______” and “Murder weapon used ______”

So probably, the t-shirt order calculation leads to a number that tells us the weapon.

But we got 2, and none of the options match.

Unless... perhaps we need to calculate total cost?

Blue: 5 × 14 = 70
Red: 6 × 14 = 84
Green: 7 × 14 = 98
Yellow: 1 × 14 = 14

Total cost = 70+84+98+14 = let's add:

70+84=154; 154+98=252; 252+14=266

Not matching any.

Number of shirts: 5+6+7+1=19 — not matching.

Difference green-blue=2 — not matching.

Perhaps "how many more green than blue" is 2, but then it says "if the answer is 16" etc., so maybe we need to do something else.

Another idea: perhaps the "answer" is the value of T, which is 14, but 14 isn't listed.

Let’s look back at the symbol equations.

We have:

From the right panel:

If the answer is 1518, then 🏆👕 = 27
If the answer is 1517, then 👕⚽ = 306
If the answer is 1518, then 🏆⚽ = 991
If the answer is 1518, then ⚽👕 = ?

What is "the answer"? Likely from the left panel calculations.

We have P=162, F=152, C=151

Notice that 151, 152, 162 — if we take C=151, F=152, P=162

But 1517 and 1518 are close to 151 and 152.

Perhaps "the answer" is the value for the location.

For example, "in the changing rooms" corresponds to answer 1518, which might be related to P=162? Not directly.

Another approach: perhaps the numbers 1517, 1518 are codes for the locations, and we need to find which one matches our calculations.

Recall that we have three suspects with values:

- The Butcher: P = 162
- The Coach: F = 152
- Champ: C = 151

Now, 151 is very close to 1517? No.

Perhaps we need to use the date or time.

Date is 15/11/1340, time between 10:00 and 2:00.

15+11+1340 = 1366 — not helpful.

Time: 10 to 2 is 4 hours, or perhaps average 12:00.

Not helping.

Let’s try to solve the emoji equations.

Assume that 🏆, ⚽, 👕 are digits, and the expressions are 3-digit numbers.

So:

Equation 1: 🏆⚽👕 = 27 — but 27 is not a 3-digit number, so likely it's the sum of the digits.

Suppose 🏆 + + 👕 = 27

Equation 2: 👕⚽🏆 = 306 — if this is a 3-digit number, then 100*👕 + 10*⚽ + = 306

Equation 3: 🏆👕⚽ = 991 — 100*🏆 + 10*👕 + ⚽ = 991

Equation 4: ⚽👕 = ? — 100*⚽ + 10*🏆 + 👕 = ?

And we're told that for certain answers (1517 or 1518), we use certain equations.

But what is "the answer"? Perhaps it's the value from the suspect or from the date.

Notice that in the left panel, we have P=162, F=152, C=151

151, 152, 162 — if we consider 151 as C, 152 as F, 162 as P.

Now, 1517 and 1518 — perhaps 1517 is related to C=151, and 1518 to F=152 or P=162.

151 + 6 = 1517? 151*10 +7 = 1517, but why 7?

Another idea: perhaps "the answer" is the year or something.

Year is 1340 — not close.

Let's calculate the difference between the suspect values.

F - C = 152 - 151 = 1

P - F = 162 - 152 = 10

Not helpful.

Perhaps we need to use the t-shirt order to find the weapon.

Let's read the t-shirt section again:

"The Stadium Shop had ordered some football t-shirts to sell during the World Cup. How many more green than blue t-shirts have they ordered?"

Green: 7, Blue: 5, so 7 - 5 = 2

Then it says:

"The murderer used a gun, if the answer is 16." — 2 ≠ 16

"The murderer used a shoe, if the answer is 23." — no

"The murderer used a spoon, if the answer is 25." — no

"The murderer used a silver trophy, if the answer is 22." — no

None match. So perhaps "the answer" is not 2.

Maybe "how many more" is interpreted differently, or perhaps it's the ratio or something.

Another possibility: perhaps "the answer" is the total number of shirts or total cost.

Total shirts: 5+6+7+1 = 19

19 is not in the list.

Total cost: as before, 5*14=70, 6*14=84, 7*14=98, 1*14=14, sum 70+84=154, 154+98=252, 252+14=266 — not in list.

Perhaps the "answer" is the value of T, which is 14, but 14 not in list.

Let's look at the bottom of the t-shirt section: there's a line "T = 14", and then a magnifying glass pointing to "______ committed the murder"

So perhaps T=14 is used for something.

But 14 is not among the weapon conditions.

Unless we need to use it in the emoji equations.

Perhaps the "answer" for the location is derived from the suspect values.

Let's list the suspect values again:

- The Butcher: P = 162
- The Coach: F = 152
- Champ: C = 151

Now, 151, 152, 162 — if we take the digits, for example, C=151, which is close to 1517 if we add 6, but why 6?

Notice that in the date, day is 15, month is 11, year 1340.

15 and 11 — 15+11=26, not helpful.

Time between 10 and 2 — perhaps 12:00, so 12.

Still not.

Another idea: perhaps "the answer" for the location is the value of the suspect who is the murderer.

But we don't know yet.

Let's try to solve the emoji equations assuming they are 3-digit numbers.

From equation 2: 👕⚽🏆 = 306, so 100*👕 + 10*⚽ + 🏆 = 306

From equation 3: 🏆👕⚽ = 991, so 100*🏆 + 10*👕 + = 991

Let me denote A = 🏆, B = ⚽, C = 👕 for simplicity.

So:

Eq2: 100*C + 10*B + A = 306 ...(1)

Eq3: 100*A + 10*C + B = 991 ...(2)

And Eq1: A+B+C = 27 ...(3) [assuming sum of digits]

Eq4: 100*B + 10*A + C = ?

Now, from (1): 100C + 10B + A = 306

From (2): 100A + 10C + B = 991

From (3): A+B+C = 27

Let me solve these equations.

From (3): A + B + C = 27 => B = 27 - A - C ...(4)

Plug into (1):

100C + 10(27 - A - C) + A = 306

100C + 270 - 10A - 10C + A = 306

90C - 9A + 270 = 306

90C - 9A = 36

Divide by 9: 10C - A = 4 ...(5)

Now plug (4) into (2):

100A + 10C + (27 - A - C) = 991

100A + 10C + 27 - A - C = 991

99A + 9C + 27 = 991

99A + 9C = 964

Divide by... let's see, 99A + 9C = 964

Divide by 1: 99A + 9C = 964

But 964 divided by 9 is not integer, 9*107=963, so 964 - 963 =1, not divisible.

Mistake.

99A + 9C = 964

But 99A + 9C = 9(11A + C) = 964

964 ÷ 9 = 107.111..., not integer, but A and C are digits, so must be integer. Contradiction.

So my assumption that Eq1 is sum of digits is wrong.

Perhaps Eq1 is the product or something else.

Another idea: perhaps "🏆👕 = 27" means the number formed is 27, but that would require leading zero, which is unlikely.

Perhaps it's a code where each emoji represents a digit, and the expression is the value.

Let's look at the context.

In the worksheet, it says:

"In the changing rooms, if the answer is 1518, then 🏆⚽ = 27"

" In the VIP lounge, if the answer is 1517, then 👕⚽🏆 = 306"

" Near the monument, if the answer is 1518, then 🏆👕 = 991"

" Inside the Token Office, if the answer is 1518, then ⚽🏆 = ?"

So "the answer" is probably a number we calculate from the left panel, and it determines which equation to use.

From left panel, we have P=162, F=152, C=151

Perhaps "the answer" is one of these, but 151, 152, 162 are not 1517 or 1518.

Unless we concatenate or something.

Notice that 151 and 152 are close to 1517 and 1518 if we add 6 or 7, but why.

Another thought: perhaps "the answer" is the year 1340, but 1340 is not 1517 or 1518.

Let's calculate the product or sum of P,F,C.

P+F+C = 162+152+151 = 465

Not helpful.

P*F*C is large.

Perhaps for each location, "the answer" is the value associated with the suspect for that location, but we don't have mapping.

Let's look at the t-shirt section again.

There's a line: "T = 14" , and T is probably the price per shirt.

Then, the number of shirts for each color.

But also, there's a "1" under yellow, and "T=14", so perhaps the "1" is important.

Another idea: perhaps "how many more green than blue" is 2, but then we need to use that in the weapon selection, but 2 is not in the list, so maybe we need to multiply or something.

Perhaps the "answer" for the weapon is the total number of shirts minus something.

Total shirts 19, 19 is not in list.

Let's list the weapon conditions:

- Gun if answer is 16
- Shoe if 23
- Spoon if 25
- Silver trophy if 22

None are 2, so perhaps "the answer" is not 2.

Maybe "how many more" is misinterpreted. Green is 7, blue is 5, so 7-5=2, but perhaps it's |7-5| =2, same thing.

Another possibility: perhaps "the answer" is the value of the expression for the location, but we need to find which location corresponds to which suspect.

Perhaps the suspect values are used to determine the location.

Let's try to see if 151, 152, 162 can be related to 1517, 1518.

151 * 10 + 7 = 1517, but why 7?

152 * 10 + 6 = 1526, not 1518.

162 * 9 = 1458, not.

Notice that in the date, day is 15, month is 11, so 15 and 11.

15*100 + 11 = 1511, not 1517.

15+11=26, 1340+26=1366, not.

Time between 10 and 2 — perhaps 12, as midpoint.

12*126 = 1512, close to 1517.

1512 +5 = 1517, not clear.

Let's calculate the difference between the suspect values and 1517, 1518.

For C=151, 1517 - 151 = 1366, which is the year! 1340? 1517 - 151 = 1366, but year is 1340, not 1366.

1517 - 151 = 1366, but we have 1340, off by 26.

26 is 15+11, day+month.

Oh! 1517 - 151 = 1366, but 1366 - 26 = 1340, and 26 = 15+11.

So 1517 - C = 1366, and 1366 - (day+month) = 1366 - 26 = 1340, which is the year.

Similarly, for F=152, 1518 - 152 = 1366, same thing.

1518 - 152 = 1366, then 1366 - 26 = 1340.

For P=162, 1518 - 162 = 1356, 1356 - 26 = 1330, not 1340.

So for C=151, 1517 - 151 = 1366, 1366 - 26 = 1340

For F=152, 1518 - 152 = 1366, 1366 - 26 = 1340

For P=162, 1518 - 162 = 1356, 1356 - 26 = 1330 ≠ 1340

So only C and F work with 1517 and 1518 respectively.

Now, which one to choose?

The locations are:

- Changing rooms: if answer is 1518 → use 🏆⚽👕 = 27

- VIP lounge: if answer is 1517 → use 👕⚽ = 306

- Monument: if answer is 1518 → use 🏆👕 = 991

- Token Office: if answer is 1518 → use ⚽👕 = ?

For C=151, answer is 1517, so VIP lounge, and 👕⚽🏆 = 306

For F=152, answer is 1518, so changing rooms or monument or token office.

But we have multiple locations with 1518.

Perhaps each suspect corresponds to a location.

But we need to find who committed the murder.

Perhaps the "answer" for the location is determined by the suspect, and then we use the equation to find the weapon or something.

Let's assume that for the murderer, we use their value to get the answer, then use the corresponding equation.

But we have three suspects, and we need to find which one is the murderer.

Perhaps from the t-shirt section, we can find the weapon, and that will help.

Let's go back to t-shirt.

"How many more green than blue" = 7 - 5 = 2

But 2 is not in the weapon list, so perhaps "the answer" is not 2.

Maybe "the answer" is the number of green shirts or something.

Another idea: perhaps "T = 14" is used, and we need to calculate something with T.

For example, total cost for green: 7*14 = 98

For blue: 5*14 = 70

Difference 28, not in list.

Sum 168, not.

Perhaps the "1" under yellow is important. Yellow has 1 shirt, T=14, so 1*14=14.

But 14 not in list.

Let's look at the bottom of the t-shirt section: there's a line "T-Shirt Orders" and then a big "1" , and "T=14", and then "______ committed the murder"

So perhaps the "1" is the answer for who committed the murder, but 1 is not a name.

Perhaps the number 1 corresponds to a suspect.

Suspects are The Butcher, The Coach, Champ — not numbered.

Another thought: in the left panel, the suspects are listed with their calculations, and perhaps the order matters.

Left to right: The Butcher (P=162), The Coach (F=152), Champ (C=151)

So positions 1,2,3.

If "1" is under yellow, and yellow is the last, perhaps position 3, Champ.

But let's see.

Perhaps from the emoji equations, we can solve for the digits.

Let me try to solve the system without assuming Eq1 is sum.

From the worksheet, for the VIP lounge, if answer is 1517, then 👕⚽ = 306

For monument, if answer is 1518, then 🏆⚽ = 991

And for changing rooms, if 1518, then 🏆⚽👕 = 27

But 27 is small, so likely not a 3-digit number.

Perhaps " = 27" means the sum is 27, while for others, it's the number.

Let's assume that for 👕⚽🏆 = 306, it means the 3-digit number is 306, so 👕=3, ⚽=0, 🏆=6

Then for 🏆👕⚽ = 991, so 🏆=9, 👕=9, ⚽=1, but conflict with above.

If 👕=3, ⚽=0, 🏆=6 from first, then 🏆⚽ = 6,3,0 = 630, but should be 991, not match.

So not.

Perhaps the emojis represent the same digit across, but different assignments.

Let's set up equations.

Let A = 🏆, B = ⚽, C = 👕

From VIP lounge: if answer 1517, then C B A = 306, so 100C + 10B + A = 306 ...(1)

From monument: if answer 1518, then A C B = 991, so 100A + 10C + B = 991 ...(2)

From changing rooms: if answer 1518, then A B C = 27 — but 27 is not 3-digit, so perhaps it's A*B*C = 27 or A+B+C=27.

Assume A+B+C=27 for now. ...(3)

From (1): 100C + 10B + A = 306

From (2): 100A + 10C + B = 991

From (3): A+B+C=27

From (3): B = 27 - A - C

Plug into (1):

100C + 10(27 - A - C) + A = 306

100C + 270 - 10A - 10C + A = 306

90C - 9A = 36

10C - A = 4 ...(4) [divided by 9]

Plug B into (2):

100A + 10C + (27 - A - C) = 991

99A + 9C + 27 = 991

99A + 9C = 964

Divide by 1: 99A + 9C = 964

But 964 div 9 = 107.111, not integer, impossible for digits.

So A+B+C=27 is incorrect.

Assume that for changing rooms, A*B*C = 27.

So A*B*C = 27 ...(3)

From (1): 100C + 10B + A = 306

From (2): 100A + 10C + B = 991

From (3): A*B*C = 27

Possible digit triples for A*B*C=27: since 27=3^3, possible (1,3,9), (1,9,3), (3,1,9), (3,3,3), (3,9,1), (9,1,3), (9,3,1), and permutations, but digits 0-9, and for 3-digit number, A,C not 0.

Try A=3, B=3, C=3: then from (1): 100*3 + 10*3 + 3 = 300+30+3=333 ≠ 306

A=1, B=3, C=9: (1) 100*9 + 10*3 + 1 = 900+30+1=931 ≠ 306

A=1, B=9, C=3: (1) 100*3 + 10*9 + 1 = 300+90+1=391 ≠ 306

A=3, B=1, C=9: (1) 100*9 + 10*1 + 3 = 900+10+3=913 ≠ 306

A=3, B=9, C=1: (1) 100*1 + 10*9 + 3 = 100+90+3=193 ≠ 306

A=9, B=1, C=3: (1) 100*3 + 10*1 + 9 = 300+10+9=319 ≠ 306

A=9, B=3, C=1: (1) 100*1 + 10*3 + 9 = 100+30+9=139 ≠ 306

None work.

Perhaps " = 27" means something else.

Another idea: perhaps "🏆👕 = 27" means the number is 27, so it's a 2-digit number, but that would require 🏆=0, which is unusual for first digit.

Assume 🏆=0, then 0 B C = 27, so 10B + C = 27, so B=2, C=7 or B=1, C=17 invalid, so B=2, C=7.

Then from other equations.

From VIP lounge: if answer 1517, then 👕⚽🏆 = C B A = 7 2 0 = 720, but should be 306, not match.

So not.

Perhaps the "answer" 1517 or 1518 is used to select which equation, but the equation gives a number that is used for something else.

Let's look at the final goal: we need to find who committed the murder, when, where, and with what weapon.

From left panel, we have date: 15/11/1340, time between 10:00 and 2:00.

From t-shirt, we have to find the weapon.

From the symbol section, we have to find the location or something.

Perhaps the "answer" for the location is the value from the suspect, and then the equation gives the weapon or the time.

Let's try to use the t-shirt section to find the weapon.

"How many more green than blue" = 2

But 2 is not in the list, so perhaps we need to use the number 1 from yellow.

Yellow has 1 shirt, and T=14, so perhaps 1*14=14, but 14 not in list.

Perhaps the "1" is the answer for who committed the murder, and 1 corresponds to the first suspect, The Butcher.

Then for weapon, perhaps from the difference.

Another idea: perhaps "the answer" for the weapon is the total number of shirts times something.

Total shirts 19, 19 is not in list.

Let's calculate the average or something.

Perhaps "how many more" is 2, but then for the weapon, it's listed as "if the answer is 16" etc., so maybe we need to add or multiply.

2 * 8 = 16, but why 8.

Notice that in the date, month is 11, day 15, 11+15=26, not 8.

Time 10 to 2, difference 4 hours, 2*4=8, then 2*8=16, so gun.

Let's see.

If "how many more" = 2

Time range: from 10:00 to 2:00, which is 4 hours (from 10 to 2 is 4 hours if we consider 10am to 2pm).

So 2 * 4 = 8

Then 2 * 8 = 16, so gun.

But why multiply twice.

Perhaps the "answer" is 2, and we need to use it with the time.

But the weapon condition is "if the answer is 16", so if we can make the answer 16, then gun.

How to get 16 from 2.

2^4 = 16, and 4 is the number of hours.

So perhaps.

Then murderer used a gun.

Then for who committed the murder, from the "1" under yellow, and yellow is the last, so perhaps Champ, or The Butcher if first.

Let's assume that the "1" corresponds to the first suspect, The Butcher.

So The Butcher committed the murder with a gun on 15/11/1340 between 10:00 and 2:00.

But we need the location.

From the symbol section, if we can find.

Perhaps for the location, we use the suspect value.

For The Butcher, P=162

Then "the answer" for location is 162, but the options are 1517 or 1518, not match.

162 is not close.

Unless we use 162 for something else.

Another approach: perhaps the "answer" for the location is the year or date.

Year 1340, not 1517.

Let's calculate 15*11*1340 / something, too big.

Perhaps the product of day and month: 15*11=165, not 1517.

15+11=26, 1340+26=1366, as before.

1366 - 1517 = -151, which is -C, so 1517 = 1366 + C? 1366 + 151 = 1517, yes!

1366 + 151 = 1517

Similarly, 1366 + 152 = 1518

1366 + 162 = 1528, not 1518.

So for C=151, answer = 1366 + C = 1517

For F=152, answer = 1366 + F = 1518

For P=162, 1366+162=1528, not given.

So only C and F have corresponding answers.

Now, 1366 = year + day + month = 1340 + 15 + 11 = 1366, yes!

So "the answer" for a location is 1366 + suspect_value

For Champ (C=151), answer = 1366 + 151 = 1517

For The Coach (F=152), answer = 1366 + 152 = 1518

For The Butcher (P=162), 1366+162=1528, not in the list, so perhaps not considered, or not the murderer.

Now, for each answer, there is a location and an equation.

For answer 1517: VIP lounge, and 👕⚽🏆 = 306

For answer 1518: changing rooms, monument, or token office, with different equations.

Specifically:

- If answer 1518, in changing rooms: 🏆👕 = 27

- If answer 1518, near monument: 🏆👕⚽ = 991

- If answer 1518, inside token office: ⚽👕 = ?

So for The Coach (F=152), answer=1518, so he could be in changing rooms, monument, or token office.

For Champ (C=151), answer=1517, so in VIP lounge.

Now, we need to find which one is the murderer.

From the t-shirt section, we have to find the weapon.

"How many more green than blue" = 7 - 5 = 2

Then, the weapon is determined by this answer.
