The next morning the story is in all the newspapers... There are even theories on how it happened, who the (robbers) Cloze (1): JXUwMDJjJXUwMDFjJXUwMDAxJXUwMDBjJXUwMDEzJXUwMDEzJXUwMDE2 are, and where they are hiding the elephant... All the theories are different, but they all agree on one (idea)  Cloze (2): JXUwMDJjJXUwMDFjJXUwMDAxJXUwMDA3JXUwMDA5 : The door the elephant's room was (secured) Cloze (3): JXUwMDM0JXUwMDAzJXUwMDBjJXUwMDA4JXUwMDBlJXUwMDAx and there was a large hole in the (back) Cloze (4): JXUwMDJhJXUwMDE3JXUwMDA0JXUwMDEz wall. All the (hypothesis)  Cloze (5): JXUwMDJjJXUwMDFjJXUwMDBkJXUwMDBhJXUwMDFkJXUwMDFiJXUwMDBjJXUwMDE2 agree that the (robbers)  Cloze (6): JXUwMDJjJXUwMDFjJXUwMDAxJXUwMDBjJXUwMDEzJXUwMDEzJXUwMDE2 made the hole in the wall to confuse the detectives. Then they took the elephant out another way. How (astute) Cloze (7): JXUwMDNiJXUwMDBmJXUwMDA5JXUwMDEzJXUwMDEzJXUwMDE3 the (robbers)  Cloze (8): JXUwMDJjJXUwMDFjJXUwMDAxJXUwMDBjJXUwMDEzJXUwMDEzJXUwMDE2 are! They confused me too... Al the (narrations)  Cloze (9): JXUwMDJiJXUwMDA3JXUwMDFiJXUwMDFkJXUwMDFiJXUwMDBjJXUwMDE2 talk about the same detective: (principal) Cloze (10): JXUwMDNiJXUwMDBiJXUwMDAxJXUwMDBjJXUwMDAz inspector Blunt. He knows who the (robbers)  Cloze (11): JXUwMDJjJXUwMDFjJXUwMDAxJXUwMDBjJXUwMDEzJXUwMDEzJXUwMDE2 are: Duffy and McFadden. They are the (bravest) Cloze (12): JXUwMDNhJXUwMDBkJXUwMDAzJXUwMDA4JXUwMDAxJXUwMDE2JXUwMDA3  (robbers)  Cloze (13): JXUwMDJjJXUwMDFjJXUwMDAxJXUwMDBjJXUwMDEzJXUwMDEzJXUwMDE2 in the profession... As I read the newspaper I am surprised by this (unusual) Cloze (14): JXUwMDJiJXUwMDA3JXUwMDA2JXUwMDEzJXUwMDBmJXUwMDA5JXUwMDAy man. Nothing is a (enigma) Cloze (15): JXUwMDM1JXUwMDE0JXUwMDBhJXUwMDA3JXUwMDExJXUwMDE3JXUwMDBi to him.
