Someone sent a letter and a set of photos to a friend. "Here are the photos we all took when we went on vacation. There should be a total of nine--I hope I sent them all! Sadly, it looks like neither of us had a photo taken with each person in the group. I think we snapped more of me than you. I'll stop hogging the limelight next time!"

Before you open a hint
Count appearances separately from shared photographs. The letter gives you two conditions, and both people must satisfy them.
Hints, one at a time
These are the game's own hints, word for word from the North American version and in the same order. Open only the next one you need. In the game, Hints 1 to 3 cost one hint coin each and the Super Hint costs two.
Hint 1
Try making a note of who's in which photo for each photo. Then work out how many photos A through D appear in respectively.
Hint 2
A is in six photos, B five, C four, and D five again. According to the letter, the sender is in more photos than the recipient.
Take each of A, B, C, and D in turn, and check whether or not they appear in photos with every other person.
Hint 3
B and C didn't get to have their photo taken with every other person. That means they must be the two people described in the letter.
The letter said that the sender appeared in more photos than the recipient. Try comparing the number of photos B and C appear in.
Super Hint
Out of B and C, the one who appears in more photos has to be the sender. If you followed Hint 2, you should already have counted the number of photos each person appears in.
So who appears in the most photos, B or C?
Answer and full solution
The answer and the worked explanation are hidden below. Open them when you are ready.
Show the answer
The sender is B and the recipient is C. Set the left portrait to B and the right portrait to C, then submit.
A appears in six photographs, B in five, C in four and D in five. A and D have each been photographed with all three other people; B and C have not been photographed together. That leaves B and C as the two people described in the letter. Since the sender appears more often than the recipient, the direction must be B to C.
| Person | Photographs |
|---|---|
| A | 6 |
| B | 5 |
| C | 4 |
| D | 5 |
If your answer is rejected, check the direction of the arrow between the portraits: B sends the letter to C.
