Off the current topic, but...

I say this a lot, but any real mastermind would be smart enough to stay far, far away from an island filled with volatile people where he/she knows a mass murder is going to be taking place.

Furthermore, even if they are on the island, given how brilliant the closed rooms are, they'd be smart enough to avoid dying, ever. You don't hire subordinates that would stab you in the back, after all.

Hmm. All those red definitions involving the word "culprit"... what's the definition of "culprit" in the first place?

Is the culprit the person who plans the murders or the person who carries them out?

Does the mastermind count as the culprit, in other words? Could, say, Battler, the detective, also be the mastermind without violating red text?

These are the sort of questions Battler should be asking.

I also say this a lot, but I don't think people are magically arriving on the island after the family starts dying. That's far, far too easy.

A large note is made of it every time the number of people changes, for one thing, and for another, it opens up the Unknown Person X thing again, which I think is completely contradictory to what Beato has been trying to tell Battler all along.
