Piece the Scene
The Core Snapped Short
The Core Lab logs every metre before a sample goes to storage. This one measured short against its own ticket — the break fresh, not frozen smooth, and the missing length never turned up in the waste bin.
Each row and column has numbers beside it. Those numbers tell you how many squares in that line need to be filled in. Two numbers in one line means two separate groups, with at least one empty square between them.
Tap a square to fill it in. Tap again to mark it empty. Fill every square the numbers call for and a picture of the evidence appears.
Four wrong taps and you lose the case.
