Time For A Riddle

Something else I will be putting in this blog is riddles, puzzles and mysteries to be solved which require a lot of thinking to solve. The first of which is is this Sherlock Holmes riddle i found on the internet:

One snowy night, Sherlock Holmes was in his house sitting by a fire. All of a sudden a snowball came crashing through his window, breaking it.
Holmes got up and looked out the window just in time to see three neighborhood kids who were brothers run around a corner. Their names were John Crimson, Mark Crimson and Paul Crimson.
The next day Holmes got a note on his door that read "? Crimson. He broke your window."
Which of the three Crimson brothers should Sherlock Holmes question about the incident?


If you think you know what the answer is please comment and I will get back to you.

    1. You have a very good point however the note holds within it a clue that Sherlock Holmes would surely deduce and therefore would only need to question one brother.
