  1. Hello. I recently discovered your puzzles and I really like them. They are very clever.

    I am confused about this one. I got the following solution:
    Axxxxxxxx
    xxxxHxxxx
    xxxxxxCxx
    xDxxxxxxx
    xxxExxxxx
    xxxxxxxVx
    xxxxxxxxB
    xxGxxxxxx
    xxxxxFxxx

    I think it also works if I swap B and V. But I cannot see what rule I have broken. Can you help, please?

    1. Hi Cerulean,

      Good catch, you’re absolutely right. This position would also work, I’ll have to change Baku’s text to say ”there was another suspect beside a table” instead of ”another person”.
      Thanks for the comment and thanks for bringing this up!

      1. Hi Hiroji,

        Thanks for the speedy reply. Yes, I think changing ‘person’ to ‘suspect’ will make the solution unique. That is an elegant fix.
