Grant Phillips, the CMPA Chairperson, has been kidnapped! The kidnapper has tied Grant up and put him in one of four rooms…each room has a different symbol on their door. The symbols are: @, #, *, &.

Use the clues below to figure out which symbol belongs to which door and the room where Grant is

  • The @ symbol is not on the door to the room where Grant is.
  • The * symbol is on the door to the second room.
  • Grant is in one room to the right of the room with the @ symbol on the door.
  • The & symbol is to the left of the room where Grant is.
  • The # symbol is not on the first door.

State of Play

WESTERN REGION:
The ILUKA mineral sand mine is continuing to develop on a grand scale, due in past to the continuing abnormal dry conditions. Both internal mine roads and external access roads are requiring crushed rock in vast quantities, with problems arising because everything is happening so quickly and resources are strained.
PETER LANGLANDS

SOUTHERN REGION:
Business is still very strong through Western Victoria. Dry conditions have meant no interruptions to operator’s work programs, however if significant rain does commence shortly I am sure work will slow up due to a lack in confidence for investment.
DAVID ELDRIDGE

EASTERN REGION:
Work is still busy in the Latrobe Valley. Housing remains busy whilst the land sales have slowed down quite a lot. There are no new major projects in the area and work has slowed a little because Winter is coming. I believe work will be busy again from November onwards.
ROB MATTHEWS

NORTHERN REGION:
Work is still fairly steady with all quarries in the Northern region getting a fair share. Whilst work is still ticking along the farmers are desperate for rain and in turn so are the quarry owners so that the farmers can get back to work which is when they require us the most. Construction work in the region is also going along quite well.
ROD NORTH

MELBOURNE REGION:
Business in the Melbourne region is still fairly busy however is beginning to slow down now.
