This weeks mystery!

Taken from a random website
   
The problem:

On a dark, stormy night, a man who owned a casino invited some friends for a visit. The men all placed their money on the table right before the lights went out. When the lights came back on, the money was gone. The owner wanted to discover who stole the money. So, he put a rooster in an old rusty bucket. He told everyone to get in line and touch the bucket one at a time when he turned the lights off. He said that the rooster would crow when the robber touched it. After everyone touched it, the rooster hadn’t crowed. Then the man told everyone to hold out their hands. After examining all the hands, he pointed out who the robber was. How did he know who stole the money?

The Answer:
The bucket was rusty, so whoever touched it would have rust on their hands. The robber didn’t touch the bucket, because he was afraid the rooster would crow if he did so. Therefore, he was the only one whose hands weren’t rusty.

Soooooo imma have to redo all that because i accidently deleted my other one ;-;

Im thinking that the robber did not want to touch the bucket because he was scared the rooster would crow. Which means that all the others touched the bucket and have something on their hands to prove for it. Im guessing it was rust dust, since the bucket is rusty, which means the robber hasclean hands! :D

Also the man could have just... searched their pockets x)
