The Mystery Investigators


Thank you very much for the interesting talk on Tuesday morning. Your efforts were very much appreciated by the girls and the staff as later discussions revealed. The water divining way to demonstrate a ‘double blind’ trial was excellent and made it very clear to the girls. And nothing beats a good dose of ‘magic’ spoons to get them hooked!

We hope you are still in business next year so you can come again to our next Year 10 group.

Thank you again,

Denise Foot
Assistant Head of Science Abbotsleigh

THE MYSTERY INVESTIGATORS will take you on an amazing journey.
The Mystery Investigators in the Auditorium – Take half an hour to take in the mysteries of water divining and the potential to win $100,000.

Although we tested water diviners and other people who were keen to give it a go, we did not find anyone who could pass the test. However a good time was had by all and after the tests the Mystery Investigators took part in a 'Knowledge Bazaar' where many spoons were bent! A big thanks to Margaret Leutton and Kate Andrews for arranging our participation. See you next time!
