Synopsis

This is a classic riddle! The answer lies in a clever play on words. The question asks "Whodunit?" implying a person committed a crime. However, the setup describes an *old English professor* caught with a *young girl's body*. This is a reference to the nursery rhyme "Ring Around the Rosie," which traditionally symbolized the Great Plague. The line "Ring around the rosie, black spots on your nose" refers to the symptoms of the plague. Therefore, the answer is: **The plague did it.** T
