Wallflower May 17, 2012	A little too hard for me...
J-Five May 27, 2012	I didn't catch there were two different kinds of saxophones.

lovemybrain123 Jun 04, 2012	this one took me some time to figure out but i got it and i did not need the hint. it was still hard though, but that's what makes it fun. imagine a world with no challenges. A world with no challenges = BORING! I liked it. good job. ;)
Obilio Nov 04, 2012	Thanks again for the clever puzzles, I don't rate them as "hard" because for me, that entails having to figure more than one scenario in order to rule something out. I prefer this kind, challenging and very clever ( for instance, clue 1 rules out all but the piano) but not so hard it becomes work, which takes some of the fun out for me. Please keep them coming! Very enjoyable and much appreciated!
Oldcustard Nov 09, 2012	This was a very enjoyable logic grid, I really liked the way the clues and how some were obvious but others made you think...great teaser, keep them coming!
