Logic-Grid
Logic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.Logic-Grid
Five parents pick up their children at the Parkway Elementary School every Tuesday to bring the kids to their after school activity. Five children all attended a different after school activity and their parents always arrive at different times (between 3:00 pm and 3:30 pm).
Child's name: Colleen, Donald, Josh, Margie, and Mary
Parent's name: Ann, Capri, Kathy, David and Lynne
Last Name: Dobson, Holden, Johnson, Steinway, and Walsh
Times picked up: 3:00, 3:10, 3:20, 3:25, and 3:30
Activities: ballet, chess, fencing, football, and hiking.
Determine each child's full name, the first name of the parent picking them up (all the parents' last names are the same as their child's), the time each was picked up, and the activity each child is being brought to.
1. Margie's best friend's mother, Mrs. Dobson, arrived before Kathy came to pick up her son. Mrs. Walsh picked up her daughter for fencing.
2. Josh Steinway loved football as much as Donald liked chess and they both liked being the last two to be picked up.
3. David Holden picked up his daughter for her hiking as soon as he could, but Lynne was always there before he was.
4. Margie liked being the first one picked up but she didn't take ballet or hiking.
5. Lynne's daughter was not Margie.
6. In order of their departure from school: Ann, the girl who took ballet, Mary Holden, the boy who took football, and Capri Johnson.

Great one Rob2003, got me on this one Keep up the great work
I am surprised that I got it the first time around! This is very clever and most enjoyable!
Not too hard...one read through and a little thinking, and I got it. Good one!
I thought it was pretty easy one read through and I didn't use all the grid, or could it be that I'm getting better at this????
Oh by the way good job Rob
Wow, that was a really good teaser, it took me like 7 minutes and i am surprised i got it right!
Again, that was a great teaser!!!!
Again, that was a great teaser!!!!
Not nearly as hard as people are rating it. You give a lot of straight away clues that don't require the deduction. If one just goes in and puts in the "for sures" the elimination clues are barely needed. I did rate it fun, however because you used different kinds of clues.
This was pretty easy for me. But enjoyable too. Thanks.
great teaser I love logic grid problens and this one was perfect for peole who might not be verry good at logic grid problems
very good keep it coming
It was a challenage
I thought it was cute and fun, but very, very easy. All I did was put in the ones that I knew for sure and did not use any x's at all. I rated it at fun and easy. It was a very enjoyable puzzle. I am glad that you submitted, it was just what I needed for the firt thing in the morning before my brain has really woken up.
