Your puzzle

Four event cards describe an exhibition opening: unlock the room (U), switch on lamps (L), open shutters (S), and admit guests (G). Each happened once, with no ties. Use the clues rather than assumptions about how exhibitions normally open.

  1. Unlocking happened before the lamps switched on.
  2. The lamps switched on immediately before the shutters opened.
  3. Guests entered after the shutters opened.
  4. All four events occurred once, with no ties.
