The Vanished Pudding
Chef Baptiste's mango pudding, tomorrow's dessert for eight hundred, has disappeared from the galley. Three students were loose that afternoon. Work out who was where, holding what. Whoever was in the Galley has explaining to do.
- CLUE 1 - Lars spent the entire afternoon in the Library and has three witnesses.
- CLUE 2 - The missing serving spoon turned up on the Sports Deck.
- CLUE 3 - Rafa was carrying the spoon all afternoon. He says it's a long story.
- CLUE 4 - A napkin was found in the Galley, exactly where the pudding vanished.

Start with CLUE 1: Lars is in the Library, so he is neither in the Galley nor on the Sports Deck. CLUE 3 puts the spoon in Rafa's hands all afternoon, and CLUE 2 found the spoon on the Sports Deck, so Rafa was on the Sports Deck, not in the Galley. That leaves the Galley for Priya, and CLUE 4 puts the napkin there with her. Lars, in the Library with no galley access, was left with the chess piece from the club by the atlas stand. The pudding vanished in the Galley, so Priya has the explaining to do.
