Stop reading when I over analyze this (or not, your choice).
ReplyDeleteI get Karen's answer if I assume that nobody works on Sunday. If I don't assume that (This IS Scrooge McDuck), I have two possibilities to choose from. So, since I assume this puzzle has one answer, we can conclude that no one works on Sunday. I will also assume that Friday, when none of the aforementioned characters are guarding the treasure Mr. McDuck himself is guarding the treasure.
No, that's not over-thinking: I should have thought of that when I used the "guarding" theme. (I was originally going to use a "working" theme.)
ReplyDeleteThe Beagle Boys never work on Sundays, so the money bin is safe then.
That's a good point about the extra day. I should have folded that into the description. Assume that Scrooge is filling in when the other 5 aren't there.
