Secret Stamps

So, you think you've got what it takes to be an expert stamper, eh? Well, as all of us know, simply having a knack for stamping isn't enough. There are times when one must utilize extreme problem-solving skills to finish that perfect card. The following mystery will push your problem-solving abilities to the limit.

You are the detective in charge of locating a set of four missing stamps. The stamps are hidden out of sight in a grid. Each stamp has a special property, however, that make it difficult to locate. Being a smart detective, you've brought along a flashlight which you may use to help you find the stamps. Shine your flashlight into the board and, based on the light you see coming out, deduce the location of each special stamp.

GOAL: Deduce the location and label each of the hidden stamps.

Instructions: Select an arrow to choose a direction to shine your light into the board. Look for where the light comes out. Based on the light's behavior, you must deduce where each of the special stamps are hidden. Click a square on the board to label it with the appropriate symbol showing each stamp's hidden location. Once you are satisfied with your guess, press 'Finished!' to check your answer.

Each stamp has unique characteristics. The RED STAMP has the ability to deflect all incoming light to the right. Likewise, the BLUE STAMP deflects light to the left. The MIRROR STAMP reflects light directly back on itself, and the SHADOW STAMP absorbs all light, leaving no trace behind.

In order to make it easier for you, place 'open' markers on spaces you are certain contain nothing. This will help you deduce the proper locations for the secret stamps.
