Beethoven's Wig
Logic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Someone has stolen Beethoven's Wig and has put it in one of four locked boxes. The boxes are numbered from 1,2,3,4 in that order. There are four different keys that each has their own color. Use the clues below to figure out which key goes in which box and to find the box where Beethoven's wig is being kept.
1. The green key goes to the third or fourth box
2. The wig is to the left of the fourth box
3. The wig is to the right of the first box
4. The yellow key is to the left of the wig
5. The blue key is to the right of the yellow key and to the left of the green key
6. The red key goes to the first box
Answer
The wig is in the third box
The red key goes to the first box
The yellow key goes to the second box
The blue key goes to the third box
The green key goes to the fourth box

Fun teaser to introduce people to logic type problems. I don't usually go for logic type problems (setting up grids is a pain)  but you cut the work by at least half. I got this without using anything other than (limited ) brain power. Perhaps you could call this puzzle a logic-line which leads one to the answer. Good job! |

| Good one! The worst part was trying to find the grid so that my poor brain wouldn't be alone. But I survived. Happily! |

| A good begginner problem, for say 10 year olds, but far too easy for anyone older. Took me about Five Minutes to figure out. |

| Clues 1 and 3 are redundant. Clues 5 and 6 give order of boxes.
Clue 4 tells you key is in 3 or 4
Clue 2 tells you it isn't in 4 |

| Pretty darn easy, but I enjoyed it. Clues were more like answers than clues. Could have been a bit tougher.

| Do you know how really nasty those wigs were? And the lice...and there was a market for stolen wigs...but alas Mr. B, I'm sorry I could not help you. But you're rich, just by another one.
Good One. |

| Very logical, and sensibly written. Not too tough for youngsters, yet it will still work your mind. It is only fun, if you can enjoy working w/numbers. Awesome puzzle! |

| Once I broke out the paper (cuz I can't keep things in order in my head!) it was short & fun. Thanks for the wake up! |

| Wow, I surprised myself with that... but I love logic puzzles. At first glance I thought, hmm, do I need a grid? But then I read through, saw all the aforementioned redundancies, and started picturing the coloured keys being placed in order and I knew exactly where the wig was in less than a minute.
Very easy, but it felt good, so I had fun! ;) |

P.S. Oldchinahand forgot to mention the rattle snake hiding in the key hole. |

| A logic puzzle that I actually completed!!! Thanks! They're usually to hard for me to get. Others may find the puzzle quite easy, I found it just right! |

| Great job, but pretty easy. You really didn't need the last clue, but it was still very fun. |

| It would only need to be in Logic-Grid if it needed and/or was supplied with a grid. This is just logic. I liked it. It was fun. |

| Yeah! I got the "lousy wig" right, even had the keys right. I'm ususally not this logical. Great fun tho getting one right for a change. |

| Yes, of course it could be a logic grid problem - but that would make it too easy. Why not suggest the extra challenge of solving it without paper. |

| Nicely written. As Sherlock Holmes said"Relatively Comprehensible My Dear Man". |

| I liked this one, but Clues 5 and 6 made the first clue totally unnecessary. |

| I love this kind of teaser, but I must admit I had to resort to pen and paper. Just can't hold all those facts in the old brain without help. Easy but very good. |

| You can't say for sure that the wig is in the 3rd box. It can also be in the second box. There is no link made in the clues between the colour of the keys and where the wig is kept. |
spikethru4

| KrVa: Yes there is. "The yellow key is to the left of the wig." Since the yellow key opens box 2, the wig must be in 3. |
