Catalogues tips for tomorrow

  • Anchor the extremes. Place the item you are sure is first and the one you are sure is last, then fill the middle.
  • Read the hint literally. “By number of holes” means counting, not size. Take the hint at face value.
  • Group before ordering. Sort the items into rough tiers, then order within each tier.
