Did you correctly guess who shot Mr. Burns?

I guess Kristin Shepard.

no.
But although I saw the episode, I don't recall really giving it much thought. It just seemed like a "who shot JR" spoof, and I didn't consider that there had been actual clues that I was supposed to be searching for, and so went right over my head.
I imagine someone searching may have had some fun, and perhaps been fooled by "W.S.", but in retrospect, "the stare" from the real shooter (no spoilers) when everyone was challenged by Burns was the most obvious tell.

I watched the episodes when they first premiered, but I was young kid, so I was probably thrown off by all the red herrings.
There was a 1-800 phone number to call in the answer and win a prize, and allegedly at least one person guessed Maggie. So someone caught all the clues.

That was how I came to take it.
It was lightly spoofing/satirizing all the “who shot JR” style plots that tv shows were doing those days by using mystery whodunit cliffhangers, and intentionally picked the most absurd and obscure person on the show to be the shooter.
Very much brilliant in its execution though. Something I doubt would work today with social media and everyone able to comb everything frame by frame and crowdsource ideas so easily.
