_{That is half 24 of A Trivial Pursuit, a 25-part puzzle hunt. Every half is solvable by itself, except for the meta-puzzle on the finish.}

It’s been a tough day. After yesterday’s eventful homicide arrest, the prisoner has spent the evening awake in her cell, jabbering away to herself and scrawling upon the partitions. All of her scribblings appear to take the type of a set of linked bins in some mixture or different. For an instance, see this {photograph}:

It’s potential to make out snippets of what she is saying underneath her breath – phrases like ‘remorse’ and ‘too late now’ – however I’m not completely clear what’s happening. It’s like an obsession, these bins – all over the place. One thing is clearly on her thoughts, however what? Maybe yesterday’s proof log holds a clue…

Case Quantity: ATP24

Proof log ready by: Chief Inspector Stiv (PSE Police)

Case background: Name at 9:55pm from housekeeper of Tudor Mansion. Proprietor of the home shot lifeless by a visitor throughout an altercation after dinner.

Context for proof: 5 witnesses to the deed, interviewed as a gaggle.

Witness 1: Effectively, it was after dinner…

Witness 2: And what a splendid dinner it was, I can not venerate it sufficient…

Witness 3: Thanks, Father…

Witness 2: I actually imply it – you excelled your self this time. Didn’t she, everybody?

(Others all murmur in settlement.)

Witness 1: So the seven of us had been all reclining within the lounge, and I assumed it will be a little bit of enjoyable if we performed a sport. Nothing too taxing – a parlour sport of types.

Witness 3: Not that there’s an precise ‘parlour’ in the home…

Witness 1: Merely a flip of phrase… Anyway, I began up a sport whereby I’d say a single phrase that adopted a selected rule, and the others current needed to deduce that rule by providing a phrase themselves, whereupon I’d verify if it was an accurate submission or not. As soon as a participant had efficiently discovered a legitimate phrase, they may take no additional half within the sport, and the remaining gamers would proceed enjoying till only one remained. At that time, the remaining participant would have one final likelihood to determine the rule – if incorrect, they then lose the sport and there’s a forfeit hooked up.

Interviewer: Are the small print of this sport essential?

Witness 1: I’d say very a lot so. It was, in any case, a direct consequence of this sport that the taking pictures passed off in any respect. She was most annoyed to search out herself among the many ultimate two remaining gamers regardless of having gone first, and when our host – who was the opposite of the 2 – gloated that he had finally labored it out, she shot him lifeless out of bitterness!

Witness 4: To be honest, the chances had been fairly stacked towards her. I do know it wasn’t a straightforward sport for me, however of all of us who performed, she certainly had the fewest probably right phrases she may say.

Witness 1: That’s not my fault – blame her father!

Witness 5: I truly stored a document of all of our guesses on a slip of paper, in case it helped me work out the rule. Kind of factor I used to do within the military – previous habits and all that, what? I’ve it right here, in the event you’d prefer to see it. I’ve annotated it with a number of the different issues we mentioned on the time too…
