O boy im on a role here.
I love these puzzles!! Good one, Thanks!
I had a lot of fun with this one! Do another one, quickly!
This one was pretty hard but still really really fun.
Easy Peasy - couple of redundant clues, but that's ok, keeps my brain from hurting too much
Not too hard, not too easy. Could have been a little more challenging, but will do for 80 in the morning.
Nice! Enjoyed this one very much!
Great job for what looks like your first submission.
Not too difficult. Some redundant and/or overly easy clues.
Keep 'em coming.

logic puzzles are great
Loved it
It was a bit easy. I only had two negative squares on the grid, so maybe some more negative clues will toughen it up a bit. (But it's always nice to do one quickly, so thanks for making me feel smart
kind of easy, but lots of fun! keep submitting more! i loved this one!

easy but Great FUN! thanx!
easy, but fun...
Lots of fun, this! I can't wait for some more!
I must be missing something here. I love logic puzzles but where did "Mike" come from? That name only appears in the answer. I will keep rereading this one.
Nevermind, I wasn't using the grid made available. There he is.
kewl work!! Lots of fun and a great challenge - keep those puzzles rolling in!!
Just received this today as Teaser of the Day, but there is no question, it just states a load of facts (which are all very nice). I liked the "Mike" comment above, though. Hehe!
It was fun doing the teaserbut in the question there is no person named mike but he is in the answer.
Hi, I don't think I understood the answer. Can you pl. explain?.
Thanks
Thanks
I thought it was very cute.
Iusually don't enjoy these types of teasers myself, but this one I liked though that logic grid solving thing is very confusing.
Why is everyone being so nice about this one? It's terrible. #1 - No question. Exactly what are we solving? #2 - It's unsolvable without the pre-filled logic grid. Pre-filled? Kind of defeats the purpose maybe? Clues are supposed to be enough to reach conclusions. I guess they'll put anything on site, regardless of quality.
Ilove logic teasers! but I try not to use the grid(makes me feel smart), so I did not have the "Mike" thing in my answer even though I knew something was not right with the answer and had all but Mike and Warren in right places.
Mike? Where did Mike come from? I read 4 names and 5 positions. What's up with that?
2old4this check again everything is there if u use the logic chart thing very easy extremely fun ill take more of these any day
Mark is the last postition. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out that Mark gets what's left but I see what you're saying about the pre-filled grid.
I liked it.
hah-hah
I liked it.
hah-hah
These logic grid puzzles are my least favourite type of teaser. YUCK!
This one was pretty easy compared to a lot of the logic grid teasers. Of course, I love logic grid teasers. Keep them coming. Hurray for teaser of the day!
I love logic puzzles! Thank you so much for the puzzle.
Side note: I am really sorry for the overly negative comments. I don't understand the point of being so harsh about something that is given as an enjoyment. Once again, thank you for the puzzle, it was fun.

i dont really like puzzles like this. Im not being rude or discouraging or anything- i just personally dont enjoy logic riddles- takes a good mind to figure one out tho!
Thank you for both the positive and negative comments. I look at it as constructive to get any kind of comments. Considering that this was my very 1st attempt at creating a teaser I was supprised that it was accepted. Next time I submit one, I hope to have the kinks ironed out.
Good attitude in taking the negative and positive comments. My only suggestion is that you should have to use the logic grid to come up with the answer. The logic grid should just be a tool for folks to use if they want to. It should be solvable without using the grid--just the clues in the puzzle.
Sorry, meant to say you SHOULDN"T have to use the logic grid to solve the puzzle.
fun puzzle! i like these definitely seems like a "glass ceiling" company. the two men make the most!!!
Let me start off by saying that I like logic puzzles, and I liked this one. Now, I've said this before, but as long as I keep seeing people get so upset over negative comments, I'm going to keep repeating it. Princess has the right idea; negative and positive comments are helpful. Everyone else, STOP BEING SO DANG SENSITIVE!!!

If the number of years grid were set up to be 15 yrs, 12yrs, 11 yrs, 10yrs, and 4 years instead of 15, 12,10,6,4 - then Laurie the catering manager would work out to have worked 11 years rather than 6. Your grid assumes some information that the information does not provide. Just an observation.
I liked this one, mainly because logic puzzles are my favorite. But next time you should write the question - who had which position, made what amount of money and worked how many years. Good job though! It was fun
Great teaser! It was so easy.
However, you should have phrased it differently; something like what ginny322 said.

I have to take a dump
The only problem I had with this teaser is I didn't know it had the grid. I was confused on where the other names came from and how I was supposed to know the Pay and Years. But after I figured it out it was very fun!
:
I thought it was fun.. easy, but fun. Fun is more important.

WHY OH WHY DO PEOPLE WANT TO SOLVE A *L*O*G*I*C* *G*R*I*D* PUZZLE WITHOUT USING A *L*O*G*I*C* *G*R*I*D* AND INSIST THAT THE PUZZLE BE STATED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE GRID IS NOT NEEDED. IF THAT WERE THE CASE THIS WOULD *N*O*T* BE A *L*O*G*I*C* *G*R*I*D* PEOPLE GET REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This one I could actually do. The harder ones always seem to have some clue missing for me to connect it up. It has to be there I know cause you guys get it. This one seemed like logic, rather than intuition or assumtions required. Moody
I finally got 1 with over 3 squares in the grid!!!! Hooray!!!!
P.S. I ♥ logic grids.

I agree with Dave C. in a way...the point of a "logic grid" is to use the grid. HOWEVER, there are some people (for whatever reason) that cannot print the grid (myself included) that like to do these away from the computer, so having the info listed somewhere in the clues or the intro is very helpful. I think this was a great teaser for your first try. Keep up the good work, and try to make them a bit harder next time.
I liked the grid... very fun.
Nice teaser
very easy...not too much thought... THANK U!!
good teaser
