Columbophile has a really good breakdown of "cause of death" here, with Shootings leading the way.

I thought I'd do something a bit different. Without going through the episode list and counting, see how well you can approximate these breakdowns:

Answers given below... scroll down but don't peek!

Of the 69 episodes:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.... How many or what percentage of episodes have a female murderer ?

.... How many or what percentage of episodes have a female victim ?

.... How many or what percentage of episodes with MULTIPLE victims/murders ?

Answers

Female murderers : Thirteen. Or Nineteen percent.

Female victims : Twenty. Or Twenty-Nine percent.

MULTIPLE victims/murders : Seventeen. Or Twenty-Five percent.

How did you do?

I was about right on Female murderers and Multiple murders, but I thought the Female victim number would be a bit higher.

I would suggest them to anyone possibly starting a business or even looking to develop!top branding companies
