Little Charlie Welles in the Big Mansion
A puzzle for children and adults, courtesy of the Cake Club
Puzzle #1 - the Library
Meet Charlie. He's a little boy who has grown up in the Welles family mansion - a huge three-story house with several acres of land around it. Living in a big house like this is always and adventure, but it's also easy to get lost.
Today, Charlie is thinking about visiting the library. He's got a lot of favorite books there, but there was one that he read last week and really wants to finish it. The trouble is... he forgot where he found it in the family library! He only remembers a few clues about where it might have been.
Clue #1: The library is divided into four parts - classical literature on the upper-right, science fiction on the lower-right, romance on the upper-left, and and nonfiction on the lower-left. He remembers very clearly that his book was fiction, but it might have been in any of the other categories.
Clue #2: After taking a book, Charlie usually goes to the nearest chair to read. He remembers that the chair he was sitting in was a bright color.
Clue #3: Charlie remembers walking at least four shelves away from the center aisle before he found the book last week.
Clue #4: When going to return his book when his mother called him for dinner, he remembered looking out the window and seeing rain falling on the lawn outside.
Can you help him figure out where to find his book? Please write your name or some other thing to identify you when you guess, and please - only one guess per person! There will be a prize for the winners at the end of the day. :)
