Steam on the Board — Daily puzzle for 2026-11-02

Very Easy — logic-grid deduction puzzle

Steam from the kettle smudged the call-out board at the snowplough garage, so Quentin, Rosamund, Silas and Tabitha have to piece the night back together from what they remember.

Snow had been falling since dusk, and the ploughs at the garage were warm and ready. Quentin, Rosamund, Silas and Tabitha sat by the radio with mugs of tea, waiting. One by one, the dispatcher called them out, and each driver went to clear a different route: the bridge, the hill, the market or the dock. She wrote every call on the board by the kettle. Then the kettle boiled over, steam rolled up the board, and the names ran into grey smudges. Nobody can read it now, but the drivers still remember bits of the night, and the bits fit together.

Clues

1. Quentin was called out after Silas but before Tabitha.
2. Rosamund was called out later than both Quentin and Tabitha.
3. The driver sent to the hill was called out after the one sent to the market, but before the one sent to the bridge.
4. Rosamund cleared either the dock or the market.
