A different kind of case
The Ledger Left Unlocked
gave his account of the morning after 's count came up short — five parts, same as always. The assay ledger was left unlocked and the ounce that should have been on the beam was gone. He said he never touched either.
A suspect gave a five-part account of the night. One sequence is true — the rest is padding.
Every part offers the same short list of possibilities. Fill all five, then log your version. Each log gives two counts: how many parts sit in the right place, and how many are true but filed under the wrong part. You're never told which is which.
Eight attempts. Land all five in the right place and his alibi breaks.
