You don't even need a pen and paper for this one. Half the number of clues would have been sufficient, too. The author practically told the reader the answer; no problem solving was needed. And I don't even know who 'Good Charlotte' IS!
Logic-grid type problems should be self-contained and not require knowledge which is not common. Who the #*%! is 'Charlotte'? In addition, the clues for the rest of the teaser are too easy.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...the easiest and worst logic grid yet.
I don't have a clue who Good Charlotte is either, though you can infer the correct information with the other clues because Hayley is limited to "Hilary Duff" or "The Chronicles of Life and Death", which must be by Good Charlotte. Not the best of grids, but a good try.
i agree with rugbys_girl, follydoggy, and doggyxp
whose "charlotte"
whose "charlotte"
Good Charlotte is a band Hello, even I know that one.
boring!
You can't presuppose we know which Band made which Album. I've heard of Good Charlotte, but I don't actually like them, so I had no idea.

Sorry, your logic needs work. You failed to mention Good Charlotte in the teaser at the beginning and then gave it to us in the clues. You can't introduce new elements in the clues that don't exist in the teaser itself. Keep trying. You must assume that your reader only knows what you tell them in the teaser to begin with.
Not too much thinking to the puzzle, but nice try!
i agree w/ everyone else. this one was messed up cause it did not tell who good charlotte was( which by the way is a dumb band) & if haylie was limited to chronicles or Hilary then haylie obviouely had chronicles but it didn't so it didn't make sense. this one needs major fixing up.
oops i switched up the cds 4 haylie switch them around
Nice Teaser! I had never heard of the CD's or the band Good Charlotte, but I enjoy learning new things.
i hate working whith numbers thay jimbble up my brinin
Guys, by the time you get down to the "Good Charlotte" part you should already have Hayley narrowed down to Hilary or Chronicles. Pretty easy to figure out that Hilary Duff is NOT part of Good Charlotte no? It was a pretty easy one, but still enjoyable. Thanks!
I have to disagree... you can't guarantee that Hilary Duff is NOT part of Good Charlotte since Hilary Duff could be a person who belongs to Good Charlotte or something like that.
Sorry but doesn't meet my standerds too.It was to easy and who the heck is Charlott
I figured out Hailey's CD by process of elimination because I know who Hillary Duff is. HOWEVER, there are could be people out there who do not know Hilary Duff, like I didn't know Good Charlotte. You can't assume that everyone knows the same things you do. Your clues should only use info provided in the teaser itself. Nice try though!
It was a good teaser, but I agree with the others (even though I know who all of those are) you should explain some who what band is, and what their CD is or something.
I even thought that the cds were band names.
There were a couple of pointless clues, a couple of extra clues, and everything was given to you directly, so this one was a little boring. It was a good attempt though. Keep at it!
Honestly, you could have done a better job on this. Not each clue was necessary. But if this is your first one, then I guess it's ok.
Had it not been for the parenthetical comment: "The Chronicles of Life and Death (by Good Charlotte) -- I never would have been able to complete this logic problem. After reading the comments, I assume a moderator revised the opening paragraph to address the "Charlotte" issue, in which case, thank you.
