Brett and Margo have each thought about murdering their rich Uncle Basil in hopes of claiming their inheritance a bit early. Hoping to take advantage of Basil's predilection for immoderate desserts, Brett has put rat poison into the cherries flambe; Margo, unaware of Brett's activities, has laced the chocolate mousse with cyanide. Given the amounts likely to be eaten, the probability of the rat poison being fatal is 0.60; the cyanide, 0.90. Based on other dinners where Basil was presented with the same dessert options, we can assume that he has a 50% chance of asking for the cherries flambe, a 40% chance of ordering the chocolate mousse, and a 10% chance of skipping dessert altogether. No sooner arc the dishes cleared away than Basil drops dead. In the absence of any other evidence, who should be considered the prime suspect?
