Solving the Senior Detective Puzzle

  • 2 of 10: If you'd like to try and work out the game on paper, you can use the below drawing if you like.
  • 3 of 10: Each time you move, so do the treble clefs.  There seem to be no particular "rules" dictating specific moves for the treble clefs.  Just play the game a few times to get a feel for where they go when you move.
  • 4 of 10: Remember that there are many ways to solve this puzzle.  I know of at least three, including my own, which I will explain in these hints.
  • 5 of 10: Your first move can be down or to the right.  This choice makes a difference where the Treble Clefs go in your remaining moves.
