Seems to me that we are missing some words in statement #3.
Yes, or no?
Yes, or no?
I'm not very good at logic problems.
Great teaser though.
Great teaser though.
wow i think whsprec owe me a bottle of some kind of pill for this head ache i now have... great teaser never seen nothing like it
I was able to solve it by placing the word "and" between Abagail ,,,with Mr. Alexander in statement #3. Good teaser.
I also didn't like all of the A's. The teaser was set up nicely, though . I only got it after guessing that in #2 you implied that none of those people were Mr. Arnold. (You could have just been calling him by his other name in the latter of the sentence. Wouldn't Mr. Arnold be likely to be playing poker with them?)
My brain hurts!
AAAAAAAAAAAH! That hurt my head but it was fun!
i liked it
Is there a way to find the answer without guessing? I've tried it twice but get stuck between who is in Anchor/Auburn (the Aflects or the Alexanders?)
Good puzzle. I liked the challenge of the same letter for everything. Just the right difficulty for a solvable puzzle yet something that makes you think, but not to the point where it's not fun anymore. Great job.
Seeing all those "A" words made me think....I will be here all night trying to figure this one out. Surprise! It was a lot easier than I thought. I just read the clues and plugged them into the grid. Very clever and a lot of fun. Thanks.
That's the part that I got wrong too...Everything elsle was correct, I just had Auburn & Anchor mixed up... Great teaser though!
This is my zillionth time through and I solved it FINALLY by realizing I was mentally placing a comma between Abbas and Andrews in clue #2. It made a difference when I realized that it was one person...not two...
