[00:00:00]Hello, today's bonus game is clues by Sam. Today's the Monday one, so it's the easiest of the week. So it shouldn't be too hard.

[00:00:07]Let's play.

[00:00:08]So we need to identify who is innocent and who is a criminal. And we start we start off with this clue. Two of Sue's neighbors are in in row three are innocent. So row three is here and two of Sue's neighbors are innocent in row three.

[00:00:23]So where is Sue? Sue is here and if you click the clue it'll also highlight where Sue is. So Sue only has two neighbors in row three. So they are both innocent. So we can click them and mark them innocent. If we're wrong, it You're not allowed to guess in this game. If there was no way to logically deduce it, it'll say you couldn't have logically deduced that and won't let you do it. So the criminal's very cunning.

[00:00:46]Sometimes they just have a quote which means we don't get more clues. I'm going to gray out the ones that are done.

[00:00:52]Um So Olga says, "Exactly two of Clyde's four criminal neighbors also neighbor Derek."

[00:00:59]So Clyde is here.

[00:01:01]Exactly two of Clyde's four criminal neighbors. So first of all, we know Clyde has four criminal neighbors.

[00:01:06]That's something to remember.

[00:01:07]Out of the six.

[00:01:10]Five. Sorry, I can count.

[00:01:12]Out of the five, four of them are criminals.

[00:01:16]And two of them also neighbor Derek. So Derek is here.

[00:01:21]So what do Derek and Clyde share in common? They share these two in common.

[00:01:26]So that means that these two have to be criminals.

[00:01:32]Well, I think you Laura. All right.

[00:01:35]Um so Henry says, Well, first of all, can we determine that Derek or no, we can't determine anyone's innocent here.

[00:01:42]One of these is innocent.

[00:01:44]Uh Andre is one of Frida's three criminal neighbors. So that just told us that Andre is a criminal so we can mark that.

[00:01:51]And we also learned that Frida has three criminal neighbors. We already know of two of them.

[00:01:56]So we also knew that Clyde has only one innocent neighbor.

[00:02:06]Huh. [snorts] Okay, I'm not entirely sure about that one.

[00:02:12]Andre says Derek has only one innocent neighbor.

[00:02:16]Okay, so that means Clyde is innocent.

[00:02:21]Both innocents above Thor are connected.

[00:02:25]So, Thor Where's Thor? Thor is here. There are two innocents above Thor and they are connected. The only way they stay connected is to have Ike be innocent.

[00:02:37]All right.

[00:02:38]Um and so one of these is innocent, one's a criminal.

[00:02:43]There are exactly two innocents in row one.

[00:02:46]So, row one has two innocents. Both of them neighbor Clyde.

[00:02:50]So, that's going to be the innocent, which means Frida is guilty or criminal.

[00:02:55]Um So, one of these is innocent.

[00:03:00]There are exactly two innocents to the left of Vicky.

[00:03:03]So, I know that's both of them.

[00:03:06]All right.

[00:03:07]This definitely is easy.

[00:03:09]Exactly one innocent above Keita is neighboring Ike.

[00:03:13]So, there's one innocent above Keita that neighbors Ike.

[00:03:20]So, that's this one.

[00:03:25]Um two persons in a corner have an innocent directly to the left of them.

[00:03:32]Okay.

[00:03:33]>> [gasps] >> So, these corners can't have anyone to the left of them. So, both of these corners have an innocent to the left, meaning Vicky's innocent.

[00:03:41]All right.

[00:03:42]Only one column has exactly two criminals. So, of all these columns, one of them has exactly two criminals, the others do not.

[00:03:50]So, I don't think we can use that yet.

[00:03:54]Two of Clyde's four. So, Clyde has Yeah, so we're we're doubling down on this being one of each.

[00:04:01]What was it about Derek that we knew?

[00:04:04]Hold on. Andre So, Frida has three criminal neighbors.

[00:04:09]We have two of them. One of these is a criminal. I still don't know which.

[00:04:16]Thomas exactly two criminals.

[00:04:19]Ooh.

[00:04:23]Something I'm noticing is that if I make Which one was it?

[00:04:31]If I make Eli a criminal, then Penny has to be innocent because of the above Thor clue.

[00:04:44]So, we'd have two innocents above Thor.

[00:04:46]So, if Eli is criminal, Penny has to be innocent. And that would be two criminals in that column.

[00:04:52]And it would also make Brian innocent because Frida would have the three criminal neighbors. So, if Eli is criminal, Brian is innocent, and Penny's innocent. If Brian's innocent, that means that Keisha would have to be innocent in order to not do two in that column.

[00:05:09]That's kind of what I was seeing.

[00:05:12]And then also Ruth would be innocent in order to prevent two in that column.

[00:05:19]So, that's That's very powerful. If Brian is a criminal, then Eli has to be innocent, and Penny's a criminal.

[00:05:33]And so, then Keisha would have to be a criminal in order to in order to have three criminals instead of just two in here cuz this would definitely have two.

[00:05:41]Okay, so okay.

[00:05:42]I think in general this column always has two criminals. So, that that uh Yeah, that's true. Because we know that Um Where is it? There's two innocents above Thor, which means one of these is criminal. So, what this is saying is that that's the only column with two criminals in it.

[00:06:00]And that means Ruth has to be innocent.

[00:06:03]All right, there are more innocents in row three than five.

[00:06:07]Okay, so row three has four innocents.

[00:06:10]So, row five cannot also have four innocents, so Zara is a criminal.

[00:06:15]Um There are an equal number of criminals in columns B and C.

[00:06:20]So, column C has one criminal, and so these both have to be innocent.

[00:06:23]And that does mean Eli's the criminal and Penny's the innocent.

[00:06:27]Um and what do we know about Sue or Derek?

[00:06:31]Oh, Derek has to be criminal cuz Clyde needs four.

[00:06:35]And then Oh, only one person in a corner has exactly three innocent neighbors.

[00:06:40]And so Zara needs three innocent neighbors. Oh, wait.

[00:06:43]Thor already has three innocents, so Sue better be criminal.

[00:06:46]All right.

[00:06:49]Cool.

[00:06:50]Uh let's read what the the fun little text here was.

[00:06:54]The criminals are very cunning. Thank you, Laura.

[00:06:58]They're also flagitious.

[00:07:00]Flagitious? What does that mean?

[00:07:04]Flagitious.

[00:07:07]Flagitious. Describe someone or something, such as an action, person, or time period, that is shamefully wicked, deeply criminal, and atrocious.

[00:07:15]Okay. Flagitious. Flagitious.

[00:07:19]Um Flaw what now? Is that a good thing?

[00:07:22]Okay.

[00:07:25]That's what I said.

[00:07:27]Um Criminals are very cunning. They're also Quomodocunquizing.

[00:07:34]Look that up, too.

[00:07:37]Quo Quomodocunquizing.

[00:07:41]Extremely rare and archaic adjective that means making money by any means possible regardless of ethics or morality.

[00:07:49]All right.

[00:07:51]I don't think it was meant as a compliment, Gus.

[00:07:54]Now you're just messing with us. I'm going to look that up.

[00:07:59]And that's it. Okay.

[00:08:02]Cool. It did have some some nice logic in it. Um I was kind of expecting easy to be a click click click, but it did still have some logic in it. So that that was nice.

[00:08:10]Um I have done a Sunday before and they are like it took me a long time to figure out. You had to do like a bunch of like comparisons and look aheads and I had screenshots and and circles and everything. So um cool.

[00:08:23]Well, let's spin the bonus game wheel and see what tomorrow's bonus game will be.

[00:08:31]It is Chicago Sun-Times Chicago style mini crossword.

[00:08:36]There you go. That's a mouthful, but I do believe that is a mini crossword and Chicago style means it's got Chicago trivia in it, which I know nothing about Chicago, so that should be interesting.

[00:08:46]And how did you do?
