Disney Fans' Pets
Logic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
Five young girls are all friends and are all big Disney fans. They have named their pets after cartoon characters from their favorite Disney movies. Each girl owns a pair of pets of the same species. Each pair consists of two differently colored creatures of the same age. Can you figure out which girl owns which pets, their colors, ages and names?
Girls: Audrey, Betty, Cari, Debra, and Emma
Pets: Birds, Dogs, Cats, Fish and Rabbits
Pet Names: Ariel and Aurora, Beauty and Beast, Lilo and Stitch, Mike and Sully, Timon and Pumba
Color Pairs: Blue and White, Blue and Red, Blue and Brown, Brown and Red, Brown and White
Ages: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years
Emma is allergic to dogs.
Neither of the rabbits are blue. Neither of the fish are white.
Just one girl has the same first initial as both her 2 yr old pets.
The girls don't usually take their pets with them to visit each other. It is certain that Mike and Sully would try to devour Aurora and Ariel, and also that the blue and brown pair would consider the blue and white pair a tasty snack.
Lilo and Stitch live in the same house as Aurora and Ariel because their owners are sisters. There is no reason to think they would attack each other. In fact, they probably aren't even aware of each other.
Cari and Debra don't own blue pets. Audrey and Emma don't own brown pets.
The brown and white pair are younger than the fish, and also younger than Debra's pets.
Audrey's pets are exactly twice the age of Aurora and Ariel.
Timon and Pumba are older than the cats but younger than the red and brown pair.
Answer
Audrey owns Lilo and Stitch, red and blue 1 year old fish.
Betty owns Beauty and Beast, blue and brown 2 year old cats.
Cari owns Aurora and Ariel, brown and white 6 month old rabbits.
Debra owns Mike and Sully, red and brown 4 year old dogs.
Emma owns Timon and Pumba, blue and white 3 year old birds.

| Wow that was really hard...It was too confusing so I gave up...Actually, the logic-grid solver thingy made it even //more// confusing to me, so I might just try it again some other time without it. |

| I love this one because it's so challenging and hard, but because I'm confused as to what animals eat what other animals, I still haven't finished yet.
Any hint? |

| This teaser rocks...thanks!! I got a slightly different answer which also seems to work - Audrey has 1yr old blue & white birds Lilo & Stitch while Emma has 3yr old blue & red fish, Timon & Pumba...
Possible?? |

| Thanks for all the positive comments! I'm glad it's been fun. As for Lilo and Stitch being birds instead of fish.... I too got this alternate answer on my last "proof read" of my puzzle... but I hoped that the clue about Lilo and Stitch not being aware of Aurora and Ariel would eliminate the possibility. The pet birds I've seen are very aware of everything going on in the house. Fish, on the other hand, are completely oblivious. (Not that I don't *love* my fishies.) |

| The clues didn't seem very clear for this one. First grid I've ever given up on. |

| the only clue I thought was a bit weird - was that it's certain that the dogs would try to devour the rabbits. I thought that was strange |

| I'm still working on it so I didn't read all the comments...but if I can't get it right off the bat or by going over the clues a second or third time then KUDOS for YOU. I'm pretty good at these. But it's late here on the left coast of the US and It's my beddy time. Adios! |

| This was the best one I've done so far! While there were some concerns on one clue or other, I thought it to be fine! I was completely stumped and thought I was missing something, but found out I hadn't scrolled down to the last clue! Thanks! |

| the clues about which pets would eat one another seems kind of wierd. i assumed the cats ate the fish, not the birds. otherwise, very nice.  |

| I don't like clues where I'm supposed to guess based on nothing. Should have been more specific on the types of animals. Birds can be predator or prey. Some dogs are the size of rabbits, some are much bigger. On a logic puzzle you should not be guessing on these types of things. |

| Although I should add you can finish the puzzle without those clues so it's not as big a deal as i make it seem. |

| I only got two green circles . . . you stumped me. I feel like I would have to guess on some things and that was a bit frustrating. Good job on difficulty. |

Very nice puzzle. Hand fun doing it. |

Betty: Beauty & Beast, Blue & Brown 2 year old dogs
Cari: Ariel & Aurora, Brown & White 6 month old birds
Debra: Lilo & Stitch, Brown & Red 4 year old rabbits

| I just looked over your solution and I can see where you might think it's a good solution that fits the clues. Admittedly, some of the clues were tricky, (some say vague,) but I was trying to be subtle. In order eliminate these "extraneous" solutions, you have to assume two things that I only hinted at. They are: 1) Dogs don't eat cats (they might fight, even kill them, but they would not eat them) and 2) birds would be aware of other pets, excepting maybe fish. My solution has rabbits and fish being unaware of each other. At my house the fish are unaware of everything and the rabbits are unaware of the fish, mainly because they don't bounce up onto the counter where the fishbowls are. Hope that helps. |

| Good, difficult puzzle. The only thing I would suggest is adding a hint section with the predator/prey relationship. I just happened to guess this correctly. |

| Those of us who found no unique solution to the puzzle, properly used logic. Those who found a correct solution or both of the solutions that worked, had to speculate at the end. Those that crashed onto a paradox in the grid probably made an assumption about the nature of common houshold pets. No LOGIC puzzle solution should be solvable based on assumptions, speculations or guesses. What type of dog would devour a cat or a rabbit? Would a dog devour a rabbit but not a cat? A pet hawk would find a rabbit to be a tasty treat, but might not touch a goldfish. A pet phiranna might eat anything that fell into its tank. This puzzle invited too much lateral thinking. And process of elimination only got us so far. It was an entertaining puzzle, but needed just one clue to separate the dual solution. |

| I gave up. Way too hard to get right. Had to guess and messed it all up. Nice job, though. |
