I enjoy logic puzzles a lot. Thanks.
must be me, these types of puzzles just don't do it for me early in the morning...
Nice!
Whew! This was tough for me..I got it all wrong

It's teasers like this one that makes me wonder how I ever made it out of third grade. Good Teaser!
too much reading! ha!
That was fun!! I didn't believe at first that those four little clues could possibly have enough information to solve what was being asked... but that's why I got out some paper and started working it out. And it worked! And I was even right!
love these! thank you for a good one!
Excellant logic puzzle! It takes careful reading and attention, but it makes one use their head. Keep up the Awesome work.

Good teaser. Fun yet not overly difficult or frustrating.
I also love these logic teasers. Maybe I can solve them because I'm doing them in the evening and not first thing in the morning. And I know to use pencil and paper!
Thanks for a good one.
Thanks for a good one.
No luck. Could get some names in the sections correct. Shall have to try harder next time. A fine exercise for the brain - thanks. We should have more of these.
Good teaser, but unfortunately tonight I don't seem to have any logic. Maybe next time I won't be so tired.
