Runaways
Logic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
Oh no! All of the dogs on Lexington Avenue have run away from home. The owners quickly made police reports and luckily all the dogs were found. But the poor officers mixed up the paper work and can't figure out who owns which dog, where they were found, and in what order. They are in great need of help. Can you figure it out?
Owners: Sam, Bailey, Chase, Joel, Paige
Dogs: Spot, Wiggles, Butch, Roscoe, Heinz
Locations: Park, Neighbor, Pound, Parking lot, Restaurant
Order: First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth
1. Heinz's owner knew exactly where to find his dog, in front of the restaurant where he discovered Heinz as a puppy. That's why Heinz was safe in bed first.
2. The 5 dogs are: Wiggles, Joel's dog, the dog in the parking lot, Chase's dog, and the last dog found.
3. Only one owner shares the same initials as his/her dog.
4. Butch was found before the dog in the pound but after Sam's dog.
5. Chase found his dog after Paige.
6. Spot was found 2nd.
7. Paige was so happy when her neighbor brought Wiggles home.
Answer
1) Sam, Spot, Parking Lot, 2nd
2) Bailey, Roscoe, Pound, 5th
3) Chase, Butch, Park, 4th
4) Joel, Heinz, Restaurant, 1st
5) Paige, Wiggles, Neighbor, 3rd

| Ooh I get to comment first! It was fun and well written, but not hard. I liked it. I especially like that the clues are short and yet not "simple". Good job!  |

| The clues were very well thought out, and they were tricky enough that I rated it semi-difficult. Good!  |

| Good, but there's actually two possible answers, as nothing seems to distinguish between Wiggles and Butch being found first (they are either 3rd & 4th respectively, or 4th and 3rd). |

actually, clue five avoids that problem. since wiggles belongs to paige, he must have been found third--before butch. |

| Bizarre...I totally missed that clue! As it happened the answer I first got was right anyway. |
