Your puzzle
At the fictional reading room, a blue envelope is found on a desk. Mina entered at 9:05 and the envelope was seen at 9:10. It is tempting to connect these details into a story. Your task is to distinguish what the record says from what remains possible.
- These observations are accurate.
- The record does not list everyone who entered or left.
- Nobody recorded who placed the envelope.
| Time | Observation |
|---|---|
| 9:00 | The desk is empty. |
| 9:05 | Mina enters the room. |
| 9:10 | A blue envelope is on the desk. |
