Does that mean that the title of this puzzle is the puzzle statement itself? Or is "The title says everything" actually the puzzle statement? | ||

Is Mike an actor? singer? politician? dancer? painter? sportsman? Was Mickey supposed to interview Mike? Photograph him? Help him with his costume, hair etc? Did Mickey think that Mike had done something? or did he just think that he would be meeting Mike, then found out that it wasn't Mike he was meeting after all? Did he speak to him for a while before realising his error? Have they met each other prior to this? Was Mickey justified in thinking that it was Mike? Has he been tricked? | ||

The impersonator tries to look like Mike. He looks at a picture of Mike. Then he stands in front of a mirror to check if he looks like Mike. On the picture he sees the plaster on the on the left side (Mike's right arm). When the impersonator gets a plaster on his own left side, it is the left arm. Is that correct? Or did the impersonator see a picture that was turned around? | ||

Relevant to find out more about the picture the impersonator saw? You said that Mickey's profession is not relevant. So there is nothing in the story like Mickey is the one who turned the picture because he works for a newspaper or anything? | ||

Relevant to find out more about the picture the impersonator saw? There is one more detail about the picture, but you may also find it out by asking questions about Mickey. You said that Mickey's profession is not relevant. Right. So there is nothing in the story like Mickey is the one who turned the picture because he works for a newspaper or anything? | ||

Did Mickey also see the picture? Did he know that it was turned? Did he turn it? Did he know who turned it? Why it was turned? Is it relevant to the puzzle why it was turned or was it just a coincidence? | ||

So now we have to find out why Mickey knew the picture was turned? Was somebody/ something else on the picture? | ||

OK, I will try: Was a building on the picture? A landscape? A car? Something of a smaller size? Was it something that Mickey has special knowledge about? | ||

Was Mike sitting in the car on the picture? Is the side of the steering-weel relevant? The number-plate of the car? Any other writing? | ||

Is it relevant why only Mickey could tell it wasn't Mike? Was he the only one who saw the picture? What is left to find out? | ||

Is it relevant why only Mickey could tell it wasn't Mike? He simply paid more attention to the picture than the impersonator (and everybody else who saw it). Was he the only one who saw the picture? No. What is left to find out? Almost obvious, but isn't said yet — how Mickey found out that the picture was turned. | ||

Well, the number-plate was turned. So instead of being read from left to right it was turned around. | ||

**********************SPOILER********************** This morning, while reading the newspaper, Mickey noticed the news about Mike's accident. He was not a fan of Mike, but noticed something strange on the picture: numbers on the license plate of a nearby car were printed like in the mirror. "Oh, well, the picture is turned, it happens sometimes in a newspaper," thought Mickey. Later that day, Mickey went in a walk, and noticed a crowd of people pushing each other in order to get an autograph of somebody who looked exactly like Mike. "Hmm, wait a second! This guy has a plaster on the left arm, just like on the turned picture. Well, that is probably somebody who didn't notice the licence plate and is using his similarity with Mike to feed his ego." — thought Mickey, and continued his own way. Thanks to everybody who participated, and congratulations to Cookie for solving it! | ||
