Poem	Suspect
He went and hanged himself...
One got frizzled up...
A big bear hugged one...
A red herring swallowed one...
One got in Chancery...
A bumblebee stung one...
One chopped himself in halves...
One said he'd stay there...
One overslept himself...
One choked his little self...

	Awesome book. One of my favorites. Judging by how many names I could remember though, maybe I should reread it some time soon...

	I'd really like to be able to do this quiz. Sporcle once again inspires me to learn!

	How do you chop yourself in halves?!

	This play was done at my school last year, and the general's name was Mackenzie, so I tried typing that and it didn't work. Is it too late to fix that?

	GREAT quiz. And I think that the answers should just be from the book, and not the play imo. Thanks for doing this

	^I may be remembering incorrectly, but considering they were listening to music on a gramophone, I'm guessing cell phones weren't invented yet. (Yes, I know mcory's comment couldn't have possibly been serious. :P )

	Does everyone else think it's OK to have a quiz about a book whose early editions were peppered with the N-word? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_then_there_were_none

	I couldn't remember names and tried their roles in life: cook, judge, doctor, governess...

	@abanazerb: It was the culture of the day. Ignoring the book based on certain words that were acceptable in its time period would be like altering history. Don't be a revisionist. I think we should all stop worrying about being "offensive" and start being a little more frank with each other. It was an okay word then, it's not now, but that doesn't mean we should hide from it.

	I understand what you're saying, lala, but the fact that Agatha Christie thought it was 'okay' didn't make it okay, even then. I'd agree with you completely if we were talking about a nineteenth-century book, but we're not.

	Dawn: to be fair, that's kind of a cheat because every Agatha Christie book ever written has a governess. And a British military figure of some kind. Usually from the Punjab.

	In the original (1939 UK) edition of the book the name of the island they were on was N----- Island. Hence the original name of the book. In the original 1940 US edition it was changed to Indian Island. Subsequent later publications changed both editions to the more PC Soldier Island.

	@Hooby: in the book the general is called MacArthur, in the play (written some years later, after WW2) his name was changed to Mackenzie to avoid making an apparent reference to Douglas MacArthur.

	to mcory: this book was written in like 1929... they didn't even have a phone on Indian Island... so why would they have a cell phone? They heard a record that had the indictments on it. They didn;t have ipods, computers, cell phones, cds, walkmans, or casette tapes so. that's technology for you.
