Detective Sudoku

6 × 6 · 5 suspects · about 15 minutes

The opening case of the iPhone game. There are no hints here — in the app a hint explains the next deduction instead of filling it in for you.

Case 001 — the app's first case, playable here. Open it full size.

01 / The method

Three facts.
One culprit.

No sums and no blind guessing. Read the scene, test every alibi, and follow the consequences.
