Puzzle 277 


During the recent BrainBashers cipher convention, a Morse code contest took place.

The contest consisted of a Morse code transmission where the spaces between the letters and words were missing.

Can you find the ten boy's names?

Parked Vehiclesall logic puzzles

One warm sunny afternoon I was sitting eating my sandwiches, and I noticed four vehicles in the parking spaces outside four buildings across the street.

The taxi was picking up a passenger next door to the barbers, but not outside the bank.
The large tractor wasn't occupying the parking space outside the third building.
The motorcycle was parked outside the building next to the bank.
The book delivery van had been lucky enough to find a parking space right outside the bookshop.
The bakery was somewhere to the left of the parked tractor.
Can you work out which vehicle was outside which building?

A grid of squares to help keep a track of the clues.

Note: this puzzle is not interactive, and cannot be clicked, but the grid can be printed or you can take a screenshot.
