Little Logic
A very small mystery.
Who Let the Canary Out of the Post Office Cage?
The canary was last seen singing somewhere above the high street. Four callers were in the post office, each at one counter, holding one document, and wearing one hat.
Each animal has one entry in each column, and every entry is used exactly once. An animal not named in a clue can still be identified by elimination.
