Eight cases playable, all lint clean, all verified end-to-end. John asked what 1950s bumbling criminals Drebin Sr could look good against. Clouseau is the wrong shape twice — 1963, and a bumbling detective rather than a criminal. The right seam is the Ealing comedies: The Ladykillers (1955) and The Lavender Hill Mob (1951). Done as archetype parody, never character import, which is exactly what ZAZ did to M Squad — take the form, not the people — and which lets the gang be tuned to make Sr's twist land. Five lodgers calling themselves a barbershop quartet, and in eleven weeks nobody in that house has raised the arithmetic. A mastermind who is nought for eleven and blames personnel every time. Muscle brought for the violence who offers you an aniseed ball. A driver who cannot drive and came with the goggles. A safecracker who is the best in the state and has been deaf since 1943, and has been asking about that since August. An inside man who works at a different company on a different street and has raised it four times. The twist: they tunnel eleven feet through Victorian brick for eleven weeks to reach a vault Frank Drebin Sr emptied five weeks earlier — legitimately, on his own written recommendation, signing the transfer manifest at both ends. Arrested inside an empty room. The paper calls it the finest detective work in the city in twenty years and every word of it is true. This is why he has never been caught: the visible criminals are loud and his own crimes are silent. The case is actually cracked by a seventy-nine-year-old landlady who took a bus to the police station to complain about the noise, and she never learns it. New lint rule, from a real 10-point loss here: two DIFFERENT objects awarding points for setting the same flag — points fire on the false->true flip, so whichever runs second silently pays nothing and max_score goes unreachable. Same object paying via `use` or its own dialogue is fine; those are alternatives. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
