Watson’s Worksheet: Episode 3

The Science of Deduction Work out the correct code to open the secret hatch. Explain how you worked out your answer.

Where Next? Follow the thief through the underground maze by working out the most likely destination. Remember to show all of your working.

Be careful! Following the most likely route at each junction doesn’t necessarily lead to the most likely destination!

Hint: Work out the value of one diamond first.
