Logic-Grid
Logic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.Logic-Grid
Gramma Random has 5 grandchildren (girls Dora and Gwenevere; boys Alex, Nathan, & Gabriel) for whom she likes to fix their favorite foods on their respective birthdays. Can you determine what she makes for whom and when?
Gramma Random:
1. Does not do baking while school is out for the summer.
2. Finds it odd that, despite the fact Nathan loves chocolate, and Alex loves oatmeal, neither likes her no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies.
3. Also finds it odd that neither Dora nor Gwen cares for her mashed potatoes, which she thinks it's silly to make so close to Memorial Day, but does it anyway.
4. Nicknamed Gabe "Pizza the Hut" because all he ever wants is pizza, and loaded with meat at that!
5. Is grateful that she doesn't have to make bacon for Nathan's birthday, because she doesn't eat meat before Easter.
6. Is grateful that her granddaughter (whose birthday is in August) likes a treat that doesn't have to be fried.
7. Thinks it's exciting that Gwenevere was born on Fathers' Day.
Note, for unclear dates or holidays:
School lets out in early May, and usually resumes the last week in August.
Easter is in early April.
Labor Day is the first Monday in September.
Memorial Day is the last Monday in May.
Father's Day is the 3rd Sunday in June.

enjoyed this one, took a while to get the hang of it
I'm getting addicted to these grids! Small grid - thought it would be easy. I was wrong. That was Fun!!
The no-bake cookie thing threw me off... I spent the whole time confused about what was considered "baked" and what wasn't. Nasty trick!
tricky teaser, and very fun.
yeh it did look easier than it was -- it wasn't too difficult, but I did have to do it twice.
and "chocolate-oatmeal no-bake cookies" -- wow -- I would love to find something like that in the grocery store one day!

I couldn't differentiate between the no-bake cookies and the bacon, as neither one of the are baked, so either of them could be made in June. Other than that, it was a good teaser.
I LOVE no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies. I've made them with coconut also. mmmmmmmmm.

Got way confused by the no-bake cookies! Great teaser
Very clever way to put the clues!! I found it easy, (I didn't rate it that, it was too well done) but it's WAY better than I could do for sure! Love the originality I hope you make many more! Thanks
