Five police officers have been tasked with the security of a 64-seat theater. Each officer can see all the seats directly in front of him, behind him, to his left and right, and at 45-degree diagonals. The seating arrangement shown above would let the five officers cover the whole theater. However, all but the fourth row of seats have already been booked. With one officer already sitting in seat 4-A, where should the others sit to cover the whole theater?

Where you find it
Examine the screen in the Auditorium during Chapter 7.
Before you open a hint
Each officer covers the entire row, column and both 45-degree diagonals. Mark covered seats, then focus on what remains uncovered.
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
Using the Memo Function, place an officer in any free seat in the fourth row and work out which seats are covered and which aren't.
Hint 2
Using the Memo Function, draw lines extending horizontally, vertically, and diagonally from seat 4-A. Now decide where to place the next officer so that as many of the remaining seats as possible are covered.
How about 4-F, for example?
Hint 3
Did you place an officer in 4-F? Make sure to mark all the seats covered from there.
Now how about 4-E? It's right next to 4-F, but it covers a lot of the remaining seats.
Super Hint
We've got a lot of the theater covered, so now let's find the two remaining seats that will cover the whole place.
Try 4-G. If you draw the lines as before, you should find that there are only six seats not covered by any officer.
Where should the last officer go to cover these seats? Easy!
Answer and full solution
The answer and the worked explanation are hidden below. Open them when you are ready.
Show the answer
Put the four movable officers in 4-D, 4-E, 4-F and 4-G. Leave the fixed officer in 4-A.
The five positions are therefore A, D, E, F and G across row 4. They cover every seat through a shared row, a shared column or a diagonal.
Following the hints, first add F, then E, then G. The six seats still uncovered are 2-B, 3-C, 5-C, 6-B, 8-D and 8-H. The final officer at 4-D sees all six.
