The Missing Midnight Toast
At an anniversary dinner, the host’s special bottle disappears before the midnight toast. Alex, Blair, and Casey each moved exactly one object—the bottle, the cake, or the flowers—to a different place: the pantry, the terrace, or the study. Each had a different reason: keeping something cool, making room, or arranging a surprise.
Your task: Who moved the bottle, where did it go, and why? All clues are true. No outside knowledge is needed.
Before you begin

Compare your theories
A small nudge
Start with the objects. Alex has the flowers, so Blair and Casey must have the cake and bottle between them.
A stronger hint
Blair used the pantry. The cake went to the terrace. Can Blair have moved the cake?
Reveal the solution and explanation
Blair moved the bottle to the pantry to keep it cool.
Blair used the pantry, so Blair cannot have moved the cake, which went to the terrace. Alex moved the flowers, leaving the bottle for Blair. The bottle’s stated purpose was keeping it cool. Casey therefore moved the cake to the terrace to arrange a surprise, leaving Alex’s flowers in the study to make room.
