Skip navigationThat’s right folks, question 25 is here! We’re just over a third of the way through our Cryptic Quiz as part of MOO’s 3rd Birthday Celebrations. Today we’re giving away a MOO Mosaic Frame and a pack of MiniCards! For your chance to win this amazing prize, just answer the question below. Aaaand… GO!
Hardboiled, Part Nine
Building a Better Trap
We decided to turn our investigation on Mary. This meant one thing–stakeout! Fortunately we’re small enough we could spy on her in her very own office. Unfortunately because we’re all legally blind, we have to be very careful about how we position ourselves, lest we miss entire sections of a room. So we tapped our way into her office and set ourselves up so that each of us were an separate rows and separate columns. Plus, we made sure that none of us could see each other along a straight diagonal, as seeing each others blurry movement might cause us to call out in false alarm.
So we set ourselves up and waited. Little did we know, Mary had followed us in and set herself up in the office by the very same rules!
Q: If Ray was standing in square A3, which squares were Mary and the other 2 mice standing in so that none of them were in the same row, column, or diagonal line?
