7 dogs were boarding at the local Pet Lodge. Each dog was in a separate run, all in a single row. One of the employees left the cages unlocked and the dogs have all gotten out of their runs. She needs to put each of them back in the right cage, but this is all she remembers. Help her get them in the right cages, and QUICK!

Dogs: Beau, Duke, Fluffy, Lady, Princess, Rover, and Spike

1. Spike doesn't like other dogs much, so he was on one of the ends.

2. Princess was somewhere to the left of Beau.

3. Rover was in the third run from the right.

4. The only dog between Fluffy and Lady was Princess.

5. Duke was directly to the left of Lady.

Answer

Duke-Lady-Princess-Fluffy-Rover-Beau-Spike

tamjp Jul 01, 2005	That was a fun "pencil and paper " logic teaser! Good job! Not too easy not too hard! I enjoyed it Thank you!
(user deleted) Jul 01, 2005	seriouslly i had to use pencil and paper cuz im more visual then mental when it comes to pictures go figure keep these teasers commin it might just raise my brain power
panama Jul 01, 2005	Nice puzzle. Not too difficult. A good way to waste a couple of minutes.
Riddlerman Jul 02, 2005	Great! My only criticism is how can you figure out which end spike is on? I got all correct except spike.
blonde_girl Jul 02, 2005	fun one to figuere out. i did it on paper.
okieman51 Jul 02, 2005	Good one. I put it on paper & the pieces fell in place tighter than a chain link fence. Good clues. Good one:
goosh Jul 08, 2005	good job,not 2 hard but not that easy....like the others i had to use paper and a pencil
loveshellylove Aug 02, 2005	It's too late in the night for me to drag out the pencil and paper. I just gave up trying and shot straight for the answer.I come back later and figure it out. cause I already forgot what the answer was.!!!! Good one though. I like teasers that make me think.
emyrocks Aug 02, 2005	nice one. i too had to use paper and pencil! i liked the clue about princess being in between lady and fluffy.i noticed i could switch the two outside dogs so duke could be next to lady.keep these coming i actually like spending time solving riddles using paper and pencil.
Brainy_1 Aug 02, 2005	i'm sorry...did not get this one . You mean you actually needed paper and pencil to figure this one? No wonder i did not get it. oh well good teaser anyway...even tho i am lost
(user deleted) Aug 02, 2005	fair enough, at least it made me use my mind for a while though, thanks...good job
Schooled Aug 02, 2005	nice teaser, it was fun to do
StOoPs Aug 02, 2005	god, i feel so stupid . . . . i tried to make a logic grid with notepad . . . i just gave up because i didn't have the patience to deal with it! oh well! good teaser, but this should have come with the logic grid solver thing most logic puzzles have . . .
bisqueet814 Aug 02, 2005	Gr8 teaser I liked it
thetaylors_2002 Aug 02, 2005	GOOD ONE
ceeyaaa Aug 02, 2005	nice and easy..good job

Peaches_dn Aug 02, 2005	These are usually hard because there's not enough info is given but I got this one!!
chaskey Aug 02, 2005	I reached for the pencil twice, but held my ground. Then I reached for it again and solved it! Very enjoyable!
luckyseven Aug 02, 2005	good one
bagogirl Aug 02, 2005	That was a good one!-I actually got it right!!!!
ErIn_RuLeS Aug 02, 2005	that was a good one! it took me a while to figure it out!!!
donfrench Aug 02, 2005	You guys who said this one was hard or you had to use paper and pencil have to be kidding. I solved this one in my head in less than one minute. Way too easy.
smosaka Aug 02, 2005	I used pencil and paper, so it was easy, but I like it!
pawz73 Aug 02, 2005	YAY!! Been gone for awhile & this is the 1st one I have been able to completely solve since I got back. Thanks & keep 'em coming.
(user deleted) Aug 02, 2005	Very easy. I think the "Princess is to the loft of Beau" clue is redundant.
MTK_90 Aug 02, 2005	GOOD ONE
mskingsber Aug 02, 2005	you guys are dorks
lisha_kc Aug 02, 2005	Yey!!! I did it! Goodone...I enjoyed it because It made me work but it wasn't so hard that I couldn't get it...I enjoy being right!!! Thanx

mejoza Aug 02, 2005	Good one.. easy enough if you use paper. I can't hold seven names in my head (ordered or not)
infernogirl Aug 03, 2005	Yeah I got it, and quick too. This is a great teaser and it made me think, but not to hard. I loved it.
karma48 Aug 04, 2005	easy but fun. enjoyed it! Thanks!
miyukina Dec 13, 2005	no need 4 hint #2...easy enough even w/out pen n paper...
bluehawk Aug 03, 2006	Thanx. Kennel madness was very logical.D,L,F,R,P,B,S., all in a row.
OldChinaHand Aug 03, 2006	I went with the old P&P (pencil and paper) crowd for this one. Those dogs gave my brain a run for its money. Good teaser.
Pizzazz2u Aug 03, 2006	I have to agree on clue #2 being totally useless. Still, it is a good teaser for P&P users. I figured it out in my head in just a few minutes...but that is me.
coachpisco Aug 03, 2006	GOOD CLUES! You didn't make it impossible to solve.
bradon182001 Aug 03, 2006	I don't have the patience for this kind of teaser. Maybe next time.Good teaser, clear directions.Good job.
shawneeo Aug 03, 2006	I also thought at first: "No, I'm not going to get all riled up trying to figure this one out." Then, I said: "Well, let me give it one real try. I will pretend that I'm a genius, and that I can see all this in my mind instead of writing it down." And, I GOT IT! yay!!! yay!!! yay!!! That was a good one, and just easy enough, but not way too easy. Thanks very much!
kcheer2493 Aug 03, 2006	I didn;t have enough time and pa tience to do it, sorry
chrisbaj Aug 03, 2006	Good, I got right away (with paper and pencil of course).
ItsJustWildman Aug 03, 2006	Nice teaser! I can usually figure out these logic problems with pen and paper. Life's logic problems are a different story!
kistin14 Aug 03, 2006	It should have been in the "Logic-grid" category.
deadhead Aug 03, 2006	My ten yearl old helped me. She says this is a fun one tho I did not get it all the way. Thanks for the fun!
unConfuseMe Aug 03, 2006	Hey, i'm the 50th comment! woohoo! I don't like teasers where i have to write stuff down, but maybe i'll do it later, i didn't look at the answer! hahaha!
tonjawithaj Aug 03, 2006	good one love it!
scallio Aug 03, 2006	Challenging but not too hard! Fun! Nice teaser.
Qrystal Aug 03, 2006	yup, used pencil and paper (it's a test of logic, not memory!) yup, easy so I didn't have to write much yup, clue #2 isn't needed yup, fun, because I like these (yup, I'm a dork)
heyman Aug 03, 2006	These are my favorite types of puzzles.
FatHead Aug 03, 2006	I found clue #2 unnecessary, too. Sure wish you could have put the METHOD for the solution, as well, just for completeness sake.
unConfuseMe Aug 03, 2006	"Yup" some people can do'em in their heads!
kimberly528 Aug 03, 2006	Good puzzle, These are my favorites. got a little confused as to my left or their left, but got the right answer anyway. Thanks!
blagh Aug 03, 2006	Yay, 58th person to comment. Same as above I found clue 2 to be redundant. And for those who have issues with the logic- The only dog to be between L & is P, which means somewhere along the line there is either LPF or FPL. As D is to the immediate left of L it can't be FP(D)L, so it would need to be DLPF. Knowing that R is 3rd from right, there's only one side of R that has four slots, so we have DLPFR??. S is on the end so it must be DLPFR?S (because if S where on the other end it would then move R). So by process of elimination - borne out by Q2, the correct order has to be DLPFRBS. Mind you if you've read this far in the comments I'm guessing I'm not telling you anything you didn't already work out.
jabdr Aug 03, 2006	I like these. Can do them in my head in the morning, but usually am not seeing them until after 6 P.M. so I rely on paper and pen.
marty1468 Aug 03, 2006	Easy Peasy. I did it in about 2 minutes. I did use a pen and paper though hehe
tdbrsun Aug 03, 2006	Took a lot of thinking . guess I should try paper. I like this and thought it was fairly hard.
luvdoritos706 Aug 03, 2006	not bad....was pritty easy
FeaerFactorY666 Aug 03, 2006	I got it! Keep these cumming please! I love them!
nettie Aug 03, 2006	That was very cute and fun to do! Hey everyone....get over clue # 2!
MurfQ Aug 04, 2006	Good one. I love logic puzzles. Being the total geek that I am, I didn't even attempt to work it out in my head but went straight to a classic logic grid whipped up in Excel. In retrospect, it was a little too easy for a grid, but hey, I got to make a grid. Yeah, I know, like I said, I'm a geek. Thanks for endulging my geekiness.
RRAMMOHAN Aug 04, 2006	Nice stuff, quite easy and interesting. All you guys who solved this teaser without pencil and paper, hats off to you. I am getting too old to solve this type of teasers without P and P!
Rander Aug 05, 2006	Not a bad one, no pencil or paper needed, several reads through the clues... but no notes. I did not read all the user comments, only a few, but in response to a some, im pretty sure there was only one answer... as opposed to multiple ones as some suggested.
Bahama_Genius Aug 05, 2006	Great Teaser Challenging Yet fun at the same time. Good Work!!!!!!!!!!
peanut-tiara Aug 08, 2006	Yup, I completely agree with you Qrystal...lol!!!
vlerma Aug 08, 2006	Dog gone - no pun intended, ha ha, I got it with P & P of course, but I got it. Don't know if it was just luck or if my logic is getting better. Good job.
ForestXela Aug 15, 2006	Good Teaser!
jimbooth019 Aug 03, 2009	Nice morning logic teaser. Had to get out pen and paper, got it fairly quickly then.
doehead Aug 03, 2009	Logic is pretty easy for me.
auntiesis Aug 03, 2009	I love logic problems, and it was an easy one. I almost always use P & P on logic probs, and I don't apologize for that. I would love to see more of these. Thanks for a good start to my morning.
Babe Aug 03, 2012	That was a tail wagger!
cutebug Aug 03, 2012	DOGone,I figured this one fairly easy.
SJCC Aug 03, 2012	i scetched this one out and it was easy and super fun
SJCC Aug 03, 2012	awsome
davidrools Aug 03, 2012	@Riddlerman: Lady, Princess, and Fluffy all had to be next to each other, with Duke to the left of lady - so that's 4 dogs fixed (heh) together. With Rover locked into the 3rd from the right spot, the only place for 4 consecutive dogs are 1-4. So if spike were on the left, either Rover couldn't be 3rd from the right, or the duke-lady-princess-fluffy quartet would be broken.
iggy39 Aug 03, 2012	I'm so confused!!!
thecatladycac Aug 03, 2012	To Riddlerman: If you number the spots 1 thru 7, Third from the right is spot number 5 - you don't place yourself at number 7 and then count back 3, you count spot 7 as number one on the right, spot 6 as number two on the right and spot 5 as number three on the right. Rover would be at spot 5. Now that I've thoroughly confused both of us, I have to say I enjoyed this teaser even though is was easy.
