was found in the Studio beside a painting. The only painting there is at R2C2, and by the special rule exactly one person was beside each painting – so Valoire is the one person beside it, on R1C2, R2C1, R2C3 or R3C2, and nobody else may be beside that painting. Exactly one row north of Ghislaine was somebody beside the chaise longue. The only square beside the chaise longue is R1C3 (R1C5 and R2C4 belong to the Dining Room), so somebody is at R1C3, row 1 is that person’s, and Ghislaine is in row 2. That leaves Valoire a single square: <b>Valoire is at R3C2</b>. The Studio held only Valoire and the murderer, so whoever is at R1C3 is the murderer – and column 3 is that person’s. Ghislaine, in row 2, is neither beside the painting at R2C2 (R2C1, R2C3) nor beside the cabinet (R2C7): she is at R2C4, R2C5, R2C8 or R2C9. Fabrizio was beside a weeping willow and beside the water: only R8C8 (in the boat) and R9C7 are beside both, and no other man may be beside the water. Eustace had a chair in his column (5 or 6) and a painter in his area: he would be alone in the Grande Allée (R5C5 is its only free square), and he is not beside the water, so he is at R4C6, R5C6, R6C5, R6C6 or R7C6.
