Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Fiasco
Logic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
Harry and his friends decide to share the last of a packet of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour beans. None were impressed with the flavour of their bean, so each decided to show off their skills by casting a different spell on them. Who cast what spell on which bean?
(Note: Primary colours refer to those of pigments, ie blue, red and yellow.)
Friends: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville and Hagrid
Colours: Green, Blue, Red, Orange and Purple
Flavours: Vomit, Earwax, Cardboard, Snot and Mud
Spell: Vanishing, Speaking, Levitating, Exploding and Growing
1. The boy with the cardboard flavoured bean cast a spell which made noise. The earwax flavoured bean was very quiet.
2. Harry's bean was a primary colour.
3. Hermione's bean, which was not purple, grew almost out of control.
4. The red vomit flavoured bean was levitated.
5. Hagrid's bean, which was not a primary colour, exploded after a failed illuminating spell.
6. Neville's orange bean did not speak.
7. The green bean questioned where the orange bean had gone.
8. The snot flavoured bean was blue. The green bean did not taste like earwax. The purple bean was mud flavoured.
Answer
Harry levitated the red vomit flavoured bean.
Ron made the green cardboard flavoured bean speak uncontrollably.
Hermione made the blue snot flavoured bean grow.
Neville made his orange earwax flavoured bean disappear, much to his disappointment as he wanted it to multiply.
Hagrid exploded his purple mud flavoured bean.

| I liked it very much because of the characters. It was very easy though as I only had to read the clues once. Well written, but easy.  |

| The primary color clue was confusing - as either red or green cn be primary colors depending on the color space you're working in. |

| Once again, isn't this copywrite violation? You are using items and characters thought up by somebody else, for your own bennefit, without their permission. |

| It's just a bit of fun. What possible benefit could there be? It is not like there is any financial gain in submitting a teaser. |

| Get real Copyright violation indeed by the way look again the note tells you that green is NOT a primary color it is a mixture of yellow and blue which ARE primary color Good job of writing it!!!!  |

| Someone else added the primary colour thing to my teaser! I was always told that blue red and yellow were the only primary colours, and I assumed that everyone else was taught the same thing. They are primary because you can make other colours with them, but they can not be made from other colours. Wow i just confused myself. No. I'm good! |

| green can be a primary color, if we're talking bout colors of light(blue, red, green). if it is the material color u use to paint, then there comes yellow. |

| I got Ron and Hagrid's beans mixed up, but afterwards I read through and realized what I did wrong. XD
Nice puzzle, and I love the Harry Potter element added to it. |

| Good teaser!
Miyukina: Green is NOT a primary color. A primary color is one that CANNOT be made from any other color. Since green is made from yellow and blue, it is not primary. Primary colors are Red, Blue, & Yellow ONLY!. |

| dreamlvr, you are incorrect, Primary colors in additive color mixing are red, green and blue. (Thus the RGB monitor).Color tv and monitors emit red, green and blue to create multiple colors.
In subtractive color mixing, using paints, dyes and pigments which absorb frequencies of light instead of emitting, primary colors are red, blue and yellow. But not even exclusively. Cyan, magenta, yellow are also primary colors.
But to say that any one color is a primary color is an incomplete statement. Primaries must be introduced as a group and within the context of their technology (additive/subtractive). Cyan, magenta, and yellow are primaries within the context of subtractive mixing. But they are secondaries in the context of additive mixing.
But in the context of jelly beans, your guess is as good as mine
lots more info on the web, but miyukina is mostly correct. |
