Anyone for a Whitehall Mystery?

He can make a total of 15 moves, so he has to reveal by the end of the turn when he moves onto space 15 - this turn or next.

So it looks like 122 was his 10th move, going from 87 to 88, 105, then either 123 or 104 and then 122. So he should be four moves beyond this. I agree with Yellow coming back to 89-90. Unless his SE target is 165 or 183, I think he must be in the SW somewhere, though I suppose with an alleyway move, he could get to a few more circles.

Blue is going to go to 100-101 in an effort to pen him in so he can’t go back N easily. I am not sure about Red’s move. My best guess is his next move from 122 was 139 or 161 and then W from there. I don’t know if we should try to get near him in an effort to arrest him before he can leave the area, or try to pen him in better and arrest him on the way out.

So, Red stay on the edge of the area, or try moving in?

I think Red should go South to 161-162 to give us a chance of catching him if he’s down there. If he’s South of the Serpentine then going above it gives him an easier out.

Yellow 89-90 please

Red can go that way, but cannot get to 161-162 this turn. Furthest it can go is 140 only, or can cut inside to border the river at 139-160.

I misread it. Shall we go 139-160?


with Red to move.

Red to 139-160

Yellow will search 89, 90, 91 please

  • 89: clue found

I’m having trouble searching up thread. Have we checked 89 before and not found anything?

As far as I can see, you checked it right at the start.

Thanks. None the wiser then

Hmm, this is interesting. Very winding approach it seems. This is so aggravating!

Obligatory:

So now I’m guessing 89 was his move for turn 7. At least three turns to get to 122, but could be more, depending on if he went to 106 or 105. Sadly, he could be pretty much anywhere by now.

Blue searches 101, 100 and does not expect to find anything.

I’m hoping that he just pootled around between 87 and 122 because we were looking in the wrong area just to monkey with us.

Red search 139, 160?

Blue is not disappointed:

  • 101: no clue
  • 100: no clue

Yep. Search 139, 160 please

  • 139: no clue
  • 160: no clue

(If Jack were at a dump site this is the point in the turn sequence when I’d announce it.)

@pillbox to move

Right, before the reveal @COMaestro what’s your bet for where he is?

I’m going to be hopeful and say 163.

He’s at 81, is going to move to 68 and drop a part. :stuck_out_tongue:
Or he’s at 142 and going to drop a part

In all seriousness, my guess would be somewhere along the leftmost edge of the SW quad, say 173.
