The red ribbon’s turn

We know the ribbon colour worn by the person who replaced the print. Now we must reconstruct the order of the visits.

5 min300 points

An original print has been replaced with a reproduction. Three people visited the conservation table, one after another. Each wore a different coloured ribbon, but the record mixed up the names and colours.

Staff remember fragments of the order. The camera above the table identifies the red ribbon during the swap. There is no need to guess a face: simply put the three visits in the right order.

What we know for certain

One of these three people made the swap during their only visit, without help. There were exactly three visits, with no overlap. Green, red and blue ribbons were each used once and never exchanged. The clues are reliable.

I

Ivo Vidal

Researcher
A
«I was not the first person to visit.»
J

Jana Rius

Designer
B
«My ribbon was not red.»
L

Leo Sol

Archive assistant
C
«When I left, there was still one visit to come.»

Opening these five clues does not cost points.

01The middle visit

The camera shows that the person wearing the red ribbon made the second visit and replaced the print.

02Two colours in order

The green ribbon came before the blue one. Nobody wore more than one ribbon.

03The order of two names

The signed appointment book confirms that Jana visited before Ivo.

04The excluded ribbon

The handover photograph proves Jana did not receive the red ribbon, although it does not distinguish between green and blue.

05The final comparison

The reception record confirms that Leo entered before the person wearing the blue ribbon.
