Piece the Scene

The Drum That Sounded Light

The relief flight is six weeks out and the sea ice is closed. One fuel drum in generator bay sounded a third down against the gauge that had been signed full — bung loose, drip-tray rime where it should have drained.

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.
