Puzzle A: A village road is flooded because a culvert collapsed. Find the asset owner and road category; the GP may document need, while the road or engineering authority responsible for the asset must inspect and sanction repair. Puzzle B: A shopkeeper disputes a new municipal trade-related charge. Seek the governing law, rate resolution, assessment and appeal route; the local police do not decide the rate. Puzzle C: A resident alleges a forged land record. The revenue chain must examine the entry and title process, while police may investigate an alleged criminal forgery. Parallel functions do not make the police the mutation authority.

Puzzle D: A woman is missing from a pension list after moving districts. The scheme authority must check eligibility, transfer or identity records and payment status; ward or village staff may help file the grievance. The current map helps identify the district but does not itself update a beneficiary database. In every puzzle, a good answer separates the elected body's representation role, an executive officer's statutory decision, and a sector agency's technical work. A familiar office name is not enough; the power must fit the subject.

Worked example: Try four routing puzzles: a village well fails, a city drain backs up, a land entry is wrong, and a protest blocks a road. The first begins with the responsible rural water service, the second with urban service administration, the third with revenue procedure, and the fourth may need police for safety while the underlying grievance goes to its civil authority. One location can generate several lawful tracks.

Active recall: For each puzzle, name one lead record and one office that may coordinate but cannot decide the core legal issue.
