Lunch Time Fun
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
5 girls, Dani, Katie, Janet, Christine, and Sarah ALWAYS sit by each other. Each person gets there at a different time, buys different food, pays different amounts, and does different things during lunch. Can you put them together?
1. Katie has gym before lunch, so she gets done eating by the time the other people go to the table.
2. Christine is kinda shy, but she likes to listen to the person who gets there last gossip, while the person who only spent a dollar helps the other girls with their problems.
3. Two people who get there at almost the same time, get almost the same thing, but the girl who gets there first has the more expensive meal.
4. The people who eat the hot dogs found the line just for hot dogs that is faster than the other line, so they get their lunches faster than everyone else except the girl who tells jokes at lunch.
5. Sarah, who brings her lunch from home, buys just fries, whose price has been raised so now they cost more than bagels but less than the meal of the day.
6. Soda costs more than water
7. Dani always complains about her lunch that she didn't get a fresh one or it wasn't round enough and then steals a drink of water from someone else.
8. Christine gives Janet her quarters that she got back as change, because Christine doesn't like to carry around change which Janet finds useful when it comes to buying her hot dog.
9. One day Sarah was helping Janet with her algebra homework when she accidentally knocked over Janet's soda by mistake. Thankfully only the 2 quarters, that Christine had given Janet, got wet.
10. Katie's lunch costs more than the girl who sits down last but less than the girl who does her homework.

fun got rather confused with the homework part (was thinking both of them were technically doing homework) but it was good =)
That was a fabulous puzzle! I especially liked how we had clues about the order they arrived in, and clues about how much or how little they spent. That makes it tricky to narrow things down and keep everything straight ( I guess it like it when they are hard!) The clues were nice and subtle, but clear. Thanks!
thanks guys! i thought it would be kinda easy cus i have so many clues and some just spell out what people had. this is my first teaser and i love super hard ones so i was hoping this would be a hard one! thanks!
i love this!! NAD YOU!!!!!! MWWHHHAAAAAA
This is one of my favorite Logic Grid teasers so far. There were just enough clues - not too many and not too obvious. Yet it was all in there, and everything clicked together like it should. It wasn't too difficult, if you considered all of the clues together. Keep up the good work.
when i made it i had the clues in a different order. its weird that just the order of the clues can make it harder or easier. i started off puting the first one then the last one and then the 2nd to last one and the second one and so on. some of them i couldn't change the order or they wouldn't make scense. thanks so much for everyone who likes my puzzle!
LLLLOOOOVVVVVEE IT!!!!
Thats a whole lotta love!!
fun teaser thanks
fun teaser thanks
good job comming up with this teaser! I LOVED IT! I got confused on the whole part about sarah getting ONLY fries...but there was nobody who only got fries, but after a while (i dyed my hair brown from blonde) and got it.
thanks for everyone loving it. ya i know it is kinda hard to understand. i ment to put that she brought a sandwhich from home i just forgot!
I was so close. I almost had it! I think I messed up on the prices ( ) but at least I had the lunches right. Plus, I had most of the other stuff right. Oh well. Back to work, lol.
My brain hertz!
This was fun and a really good challenge! I'm soo happy that I got it right!! It took me a few minutes.
i liked it, but i had to re-do alot.
i mixed up gossip and eats lunch cuz u said sum thin and it sounded like Christine gossips i ched it and thats still wat i thot ne ways i loved it keep em comin
This was fun and challenging. I thought I got my answers mixed up but I got them all right. I'm so happy!
that was REALLY fun but WAY hard. that is definetely one of the hardest teasers i've ever done. good job!!!
P.S. I messed up on the prices

Awesome, this one took a little work on the brain!
I confused myself when it was talking about one girl helping the others with their problems - I was thinking about problems as homework problems, but then after reading all the clues, I realized what it meant ^_^ Good job!
good job everyone!! i don't know if i can ever beat this teaser!
I've been saying I want a more difficult logic puzzle, well I got one. Wow, this was hard. Didn't get it. Sorry but it was fun trying.
wow and it was my first one too!!
Good one!! Rili got me confused wif the price, quarters n all..
lol i know everyone says that.. its a pretty easy teaser if u have the clues in the order i had them when i made it... but i mixed it up so its harder.. thats all it takes......
How fun...
Realy good job, Super. I tried and tried to get it a couple of days ago and just couldn't get it to come out right. I tried it again this morning and it just clicked that if Sarah was helping Janet with her homework she must be the one who councils. I plugged that into the grid and after that everything just fell into place. GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!
Good puzzle. Not extremely difficult but a good challenge.
If Sarah is helping Janet with her homework, isnt Sarah doing homework? I guess it could go either way depending on how you read it. That confused me because the prices and tasks didnt match up. But otherwise I liked it a lot.
Absolutely terrific puzzle!!!!!!! I thought it was challenging and fun. Thank you so much. I never did get the prices right. I had everything but that part. Thanks for making it for us and please, please, please make more
Ok, I think my brain just shut down! This one really made me work for the answer! Great Job!
I had to work it twice. I got all the way down to clue 9 and realized I had made a mistake somehow with the prices.

had to reread several time butthis it all came together
This is a really fun puzzle - love the clues! I got it wrong the first couple of times then realized I was misreading clue #3. (thought the last part was referring to a 3rd person - my bad!)
Very nice teaser! I love how the clues are indirect and make you go back and look at them again to solve the puzzle. Good job and thanks for the great teaser!
Took 3 tries but finally got - Nice Hint!!
Hi
I got lost with how the change was returned, not being from the US, I assumed that to receive a quarter in change, she would have to have spent 1.25 or 1.75, for a price of 1.50, I assumed you would have received a 50c piece, do you have such a coin?
Still, it kept the brain cells working, thanks.

still have troubles with the identification of the girl sitting down fourth or fifth. Sarah or Dani ... Clue number 10 does not help there ... any hints?
Katie--meal--1.25--jokes--1
Dani bagel 0.75 gossip 4/5
Janet soda 1.75 homework 2
Christine water 1.5 eat lunch 3
Sarah fries 1.0 counsel 4/5
could u pls help
Dani bagel 0.75 gossip 4/5
Janet soda 1.75 homework 2
Christine water 1.5 eat lunch 3
Sarah fries 1.0 counsel 4/5
could u pls help
For those confused about 4/5 position:
2. Christine is kinda shy, but she likes to ***listen to the person who gets there last gossip*** ...
Hope that helps
Personally, I had Katie/Christine reversed on the price ... I thought clue 8 might imply that Christine and Janet worked out even (i.e: Christine gave Janet the 3 quarters she needed for her meal ...). I do think Christine giving Janet 2 quarters when she needs 3 isn't really that helpful. Still, I completely overlooked the '2 quarters' comment in clue 9
Anyway, good puzzle!
