An explained mystery would be something for which the method would be non-obvious, but nonetheless the method was known. Like a magic trick the solution of which were pubic knowledge - mysterious but explained in sources in the public domain.

So what's something where we can come up with several plausible methods, but don't have the evidence to conclusively decide which method actually was used?
