Now it is time to put forth your theories as to what you think happened to the evidence in all three cases. Was it taken maliciously? Maybe a freak hurricane swept through the Ministry? Describe what you think happened in 100 words or more. Remember not to say where you think the evidence hides, just what you think happened so that it disappeared from the evidence room at the Wizengamot. Post your theories below to earn 15 rubies and 20 beans by June 29th 11:59 pm HOL time.

You find several errant jewels where the evidence box was held and you follow the trail outside and up the winding stairs until you get to a magical garden in one of the departments. It also serves as a relaxation place when work just gets too much. You find that the jewels belong to several crowns that the store offered. Solve the puzzle below to get the jewels safely back into the evidence box. Find all of the crowns in the garden. Every crown is attached to one tree, and every tree is attached to one crown (so there is an equal number of crowns and trees). The clues tell you how many crowns are in that row or column. A crown can only be found horizontally or vertically adjacent to a tree. Crowns are never adjacent to each other, neither vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. A tree might be next to two crowns but is only connected to one.

There are several strands of fabric and twine scattered around the Wizengamot. Use careful deduction to connect the pieces together and solve the hashi puzzle below.

The object is to connect all islands according to the number of bridges so: There are no more than two bridges in the same direction. Bridges can only be vertical or horizontal and are not allowed to cross islands or other bridges. When completed, all bridges are interconnected enabling passage from any island to another.
