Yeah, it’s me again. Enigma Guy, the crime-solving Shy Guy. I suppose you want to hear about one of my more difficult cases, the Triangular Trouble. Well, on June 17th, I was enjoying a chocolate cigar in my office when I received a phone call. The case was simple enough at first. A certain chef in Toad Town, Tayce T, had been robbed. She was minus one oven mitt. At first she was a little apprehensive about having a Shy Guy on the case, having had trouble with them before, but she came around.

“I can’t cook without my oven mitt. I’ll burn my hands! And I was about to bake this pie for a funny little spoonbill bird.” I decided to pay a visit to this spoonbill. He was pink, pretty big, and seemed to be pretty hungry. He said his name was Siro. I decided he didn’t have the criminal cunning needed to steal something, so I left him alone. I stepped out into the urban area of Toad Town. As the rain tumbled down hard and cold, I went back to my office and pulled out my files. I got a list of suspects. I had these two animals that were a pair: Frightful Falcon and Gabo Wolf. After a little thinking, I crossed them off. They were on their computer at the time, and had several witnesses to back them up. I got the rest of the suspects pretty easily: all of the Koopalings were in town at the time, surprisingly not destroying anything or causing mayhem, but they all had one weak excuse: they were seeing the sights. Luckily for me, I had several witnesses, but due to the obscure time of the robberies, it was impossible to tell which Koopaling was which. All I got was a triangular formation and their traits at the beginning.

They all came in a triangular formation, shaped like so: ^. It was arranged so that, from left to right, the first one was on a small sphere, the second was bald and dropped a pair of glasses, the third was holding a small folding device that had a mirror in it, the fourth was the fattest and had blue hair, the fifth was looking through a telescope, the sixth was whispering endlessly, and the seventh was apparently trying to look cool. The one in the middle, or the fourth, was the one that was supposed to run in and grab the mitt. However, the first switched places with the fourth. Then the one in the seventh position switched places with the third. The one in the sixth position switched places with the second. The one in the fifth position switched places with the one in the fourth position. The one in the fourth position was switched with the one in the second position. The one in the seventh position switched with the sixth place Koopaling. The one in the fifth position switched with the sixth position one. The one in the third position switched with the fourth position one. The third position one in turn switched with the sixth position one. Finally, the one in the second position switched places with the fourth one and grabbed the mitt.

Based upon these twisting clues, I had enough information to prosecute one Koopaling. However, I noticed that the Koopaling in the sixth position conked an innocent bystander out cold. I could send them up the river too.
