Where's my other sock? Who clogged the toilet? How does Rob Schneider have a career? Some mysteries will never be solved. Fortunately that doesn't stop amateur sleuths from investigating in Search.

We took a look at the top "mystery" searches from the past week and discovered an intriguing mixture of terms. Grab a magnifying glass and take a look...

  1. Mystery Case Files
  2. Mystery Pick Up Artist
  3. 9/11 Mystery Plane
  4. Mystery Shopper
  5. Mystery Games
  6. Bermuda Triangle Mystery
  7. Mystery Method
  8. Winchester Mystery House
  9. 48 Hours Mystery
  10. Mysteryville
  1. Mystery Pi
  2. Mystery Guild
  3. Martin Mystery
  4. Mystery Science Theater 3000
  5. Mystery Solitaire
  6. Mystery Spot
  7. Mystery Books
  8. Mystery Stories for Kids
  9. Mystery of the Mummy
  10. Magical Mystery Tour

A few notes before we pronounce these cases closed...

— Six of the top 20 mystery searches, including the top spot, are for online games.

— "Mystery," the world's premiere pick-up artist, can lay claim to two searches. Desperate dudes are interested in the man as well as his method.

— What do the Mystery Spot and the Winchester Mystery House have in common? They're both popular tourist traps.

— Searches on "mystery books" and "mystery stories for kids" prove that old fashioned whodunits are still big.
