COLOR AND SHAPE OUTLINESClues may contain color or shape outlines as well as whole chocolate pieces. When you can speci�cally identify both a color and a shape as belonging on a speci�c square, you can place a whole piece there.

Many challenges will require you to deduce your own information in addition to what is given by the clues. In the above example, you have enough information to complete the challenge… which piece belongs in the center square?

SHAPE & COLOR PLACE-HOLDERSThe Shape and Color Place Holders will help you solve the challenges. They are particularly helpful on the Advanced and Expert levels! Here's how they work: If you determine that a space on the game grid will be a particular shape but still don't know the color, simply use a place holder to help remember the partial information. Then if a later clue reveals the correct color for the same space, you will know both the color and shape!

UNDERSTANDING THE CLUESFor each challenge, there is only one way to place all the pieces, and the clues provide you with enough information to �nd the solution.

Each clue is a partial snapshot of a completed chocolate arrangement.

Some clues �t only one way within the chocolate tray. With these, you have exact information about the correct position of each piece shown.

Some clues can �t several places on the chocolate tray. With these, you will need to use your solving abilities to determine which is the correct position.

CHECK YOUR ORDER!When all nine chocolate pieces are in the tray, �ip the page over to see if you have correctly �lled the customer’s order.

If your assortment matches the solution on the back of the page, YOU WIN!
