Start with clue 3. Who has paws, and what does that suspect always carry? Check the Usual Suspects page for everyone’s traits.

Biscuit carries the slobbery tennis ball, so he stood somewhere windy: the balcony (clue 2). Now clue 4: who wears reading glasses, and which item can’t they use?

This shows the full answer. Sure?
Yes, show me
Uncle Ray (sofa, teaspoon). Biscuit has paws, so he carries the slobbery tennis ball (3), which puts him on the windy balcony (2). Uncle Ray wears reading glasses and can’t use chopsticks (4), so Ray has the sticky teaspoon and Mia the chopsticks. Mia is left-handed, so she stood on the tiled kitchen floor (5) and Ray sat on the sofa. The sticky teaspoon (1) points to Uncle Ray, on the sofa.
Every answer is also printed at the back of the book, with its page number.
