THE DETECTIVE METHOD
Turn every clue into evidence
A good logic mystery is solved by consistency, not guessing. Each clue either creates a match, rules one out, or fixes an order.
- 01
Record the certain facts
Mark direct matches first, then eliminate those values from every other row.
- 02
Link facts across categories
If a pickup time matches both a maker and a glaze, those details belong together.
- 03
Use exclusions as evidence
A “not” clue matters most when only two possibilities remain.
- 04
Read sequence words literally
“Immediately before” means adjacent positions; “earlier than” may leave a gap.
- 05
Check every clue
The case is closed only when one solution satisfies all nine clues.
