Three friends had three kids who were all named after Star Wars characters. For Christmas one year, all three kids (Han, Leia, and Luke) got different Star Wars Lego sets as gifts (the Millennium Falcon, an AT-AT, and an Imperial Star Destroyer). Each set had a different number of pieces (1345, 1432, or 1569) and each kid took a different amount of time to complete the model (2, 3, or 4 hours). Using the clues below, can you figure out which kid got which model, how many pieces it had, and how long it took them to build it?
1. The model with the most pieces took the most time to complete, but the model with the least pieces did not take the least amount of time to complete.
2. The models weren't to scale, so the Millennium Falcon actually had more pieces than the Imperial Star Destroyer, a fact that Luke was upset to learn since he likes bigger models.
3. Han spent the three hours between opening his gifts and lunch building his model.

Answer
Han built the AT-AT, which had 1345 pieces, in 3 hours.Leia built the Millennium Falcon, which had 1569 pieces, in 4 hours.
Luke built the Imperial Star Destroyer, which had 1432 pieces, in 2 hours.

confusing
There is not enough information to solve this.
Well, MAYBE there is, but I have to assume that Luke owns the Star destroyer, which clue #2 seems to suggest, but doesn't state without a doubt.
I agree, Radioguy... #2 sort of suggests it. I came to a stopping point so I had to go back and assume that's what it meant. Although I ended up getting it right, you know what happens when you have to assume...
I agree. Clue 2 didn't tell me for sure which model Luke had... it could have been the physically larger or the numericaly larger. I finally decided I had nowhere to go & quit it.
Clue 2 is not so vague as to be uninterpretable. You're given the fact that one model has more pieces than another and the fact that that upsets someone. It's not a huge leap to realize that the disappointed person felt his model was lacking.
clue #2 IS kinda vague I guess, but I still solved it.
Yeah, you have to assume on #2 - but otherwise it does work.
Pile on...
Way too much to assume in order to correctly figure out the answer.
1) Luke may have just been a Star Wars fanatic, and was upset that the models weren't to scale. He still put whatever model he had together, he was just unhappy with the overall situation.
2) As any 4 year old can tell you, not all lego pieces are the same size. So, the set with the most pieces isn't necessarily the largest model.
There, I'm done

I liked it, more fun when you have to do some thinking for yourself instead of having it all layed out or you. Well done
I agree that you have to assume with clue #2. Regardless of whether or not you are talking about the number of pieces or the actual size of the model, the AT-AT is not mentioned in clue number 2. Luke was upset that he didn't get the "largest one," but that doesn't leave him with only the Imperial Destroyer, he could have had the AT-AT...
Anyway, I love SW and I liked the puzzle, but I don't like assuming...

The last clue states that Han took 3 hours for opening the gift, lunch AND putting together the model. This should mean that the time to build the model was actually less than 3 hours, leaving 2 hours as the only possible choice. This also leaves the puzzle unsolvable.
Not at all. It clearly says that there are three hours between the time he opened his gifts and the beginning of lunch that he spent building. You misread the clue.
I agree with the comments about clue #2 requiring a bit too much assumption, although it was quite easy to solve if you did assume Luke had the second largest vehicle and that also meant the second largest # of pieces. Not a bad puzzle, overall, though. One word of advice-- try to learn how to take suggestions from folks who've been doing these for a while rather than become defensive. It will only make you a stronger puzzle designer.
I appreciate your advice, but I am one of the most prolific teaser writers, not only for LGs, but in general. That is why I see no problem.
as teasers go, the assumptions that had to be made were a stretch...
I got confused, Too many assumptions..... Anyway, why would you name your kids after star wars characters?
I thought the puzzle was really easy. But it seems odd to me that anyone could put together a model with so many pieces in such a short time :-).
