How the everyday puzzles play

Five puzzles about jobs everyone knows. Seated hands you a guest list and a stack of requests, and exactly one way of sharing out the tables keeps everybody happy. Bag sends groceries down a belt, and heavy has to go low, eggs on top and cold together. Errands hands you a map and a list of stops, and the bank shuts before the cleaners open. Chef hands you a line of stations and a rail of tickets, and the order you fire the dishes in decides how long every table waits. Mop sends one mop through a house until every tile has been mopped exactly once.

Seated is a seating chart puzzle: tap a guest, tap a chair, and watch each request turn green or red. Guests ask to sit side by side, directly across, at the same table or at different tables, and some need a particular table. It is ranked on re-seats, the guests you had to move. Bag is a bagging puzzle: only the first few items on the belt are in reach, a bag holds four items and nine pounds, nothing may be crushed, and hot, cold and cleaning products each have a rule about who they share a bag with. Every bag turns green or red as soon as you pick something up. Errands is a route puzzle: tap the stops in the order you will drive them, with shops that shut, shops that open late and shopping that spoils, and you are ranked on minutes behind the soonest possible trip. Chef is a kitchen run one minute at a time: every dish needs its own station for a set number of minutes, an order leaves only when all of it is ready, and a finished dish that sits costs double. Mop is one unbroken route through a house drawn from above: every tile once, never back over a wet one, past the furniture and through the doorways, finishing at the door.
