Puzzle 1
This BrainBashers safe has a rather unusual control panel.
In order to open the safe, you have to press every single square once only, in the correct sequence, ending on the square marked E.
Each square indicates which square to press next, for example, 2U means move up 2 squares and 3R means move right 3 squares.
Can you determine which square you must start with?
| 6D | 2D | 3R | 1R | 2D | 1D | 6L |
| 2R | 1U | 2R | 2L | 2D | 2D | 2D |
| 1U | 1D | 2U | 1U | 1L | 3L | 1U |
| 2D | 1L | 2D | 3U | 2D | 2L | 4L |
| 2U | 1R | 2R | 3R | E | 2U | 5L |

At the local nursery school, I was chatting to my daughter's friends and noticed a number of things.
Frankie has mousy coloured hair and the girl with black hair was wearing a green t-shirt.
Lucy is not blonde and Lauren does not have brown hair, Chloe was wearing a blue t-shirt.
The blonde girl was not wearing red and Lauren was not wearing green.
I can't remember who was wearing a yellow t-shirt.
Can you work out the colours of the t-shirt and hair for each child?
