    Ohh I think I see what you are missing. “To the right of Ruby” doesn’t mean “the one card to the right”. It means every card to the right in the same row. So it’s not just talking about Stella, but also Uma and Tina. Uma and Tina are both Pam’s neighbours.

        Haha no problem. I thought there might have been a misunderstanding of the rules somewhere, which is why I was trying to get you to explain your thought process.

            I hope you can start having fun with these, I like them a lot. Some of the logic is really tricky, but there’s always a way to figure out the next innocent/criminal.

              You know what’s wild? I actually have a post grad in stem. I really don’t understand why I let dumb stuff like this get to me

              Anyways, thank you again.

                It took me 33 minutes to solve this one today. I always feel pretty slow when I come into these threads. I got hard stuck more than once.

                If you misunderstood the rules then no amount of deduction is going to help you, unless you manage to deduce that you misunderstood the rules.

                    If you use the Inspect tool (click the Inspect button then a specific clue) it will give you all the necessary definitions for the clue. Would this have given you what you needed?

                    If not don’t be afraid to tag me on future posts; I’m happy to help you as well.

                    Going into the weekend where the puzzles get harder you’ll definitely need to use tags to figure things out. I wanted to make sure you’d seen that because I remember your frustration yesterday too.
