Proper Storage is a puzzle in Professor Layton and the Last Specter.

Puzzle

In order to store this fine wine in an appropriate manner, the following rules must be observed:

1. White wine sould always be stored so that there is only one bottle on any horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line.
2. Red wine should also be stored so that there is only one bottle on the same horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line.
3. The two bottles already in the crate cannot be moved.

Can you figure out a way to store it?

You can solve this puzzle in two ways, but whichever way you do it, it's easier to figure out using the Memo function.

Start from either of the two immovable bottles, and draw lines to show where the other bottles cannot be placed.

If you try to but both of the red- and white-wine bottles in at the same time, you will just confuse yourself. Figure out all of the one type before going on to the next.

To solve this puzzle, you need to make sure there is a red- and white-wine bottle on each horizontal and vertical line.

Let's concentrate on each color one at a time, imagining that the rows are numbered left to right and the columns top to bottom.

Place a white-wine bottle in row 3, column 2. Now, place another in row 2, column 4.

Place a red-wine bottle in row 4, column 2. Now, place another in row 3, column 4.

Solution

Correct

Well done!

The bottles may be placed as shown in the two diagrams.

Who would have thought that storing wine was so complicated?
