(I guessed wrong, as usual).

I got it, but by a very different mental process than what they used.

I'll hold off discussing until others have had a chance to work on it.

Looking at the first picture, the entire bicycle, the bike doesn't
move :-)

Is there supposed to be something there other than a written question?

Well, you're supposed to give the answer.

As it says:

"Problem

In a room there are 53 bicycles. There is also a table in the middle of
the room. A dead man with a bullet hole in his head is slouched in a
chair, face down on the table.

What happened?"

Never.

In my experience, dealer opens a new deck with all
participants watching, removes the joker and shuffles before
dealing.

"53 cards are in the room" doesn't mean 53 cards are in play
or dealt or relevant to anything about poker.

It was a peloton, the dude at the table passed them dangerously close in
his pickup truck and gave them the finger, the guys all got mad, one of
them knew where he lived, one of them carried, and ...
