Rcd. 2 answers to SLEUTH problem.

(cont. from 11/4) [11/4]

which thereare a lot of holes big enough to pass a
marble. On top of this is another disc also with
holes but in a completely different pattern than the
lower one. 2 to 6 play and each takes an equal number
of marbles of his color(s) and places them in the holes in
the top disc. Players in turn move the upper disc, counting
lines around the edge of the lower disc, until one or more
holes line up and the marble(s) drop(s) through. This finishes
the player's turn and he scores one for each line counted. When
the arrow (on the upper discs) reaches a point a few
spaces away from the start, the game is over. Add the
marbles remaining of their color(s) to the
players' scores and high total wins.
