Thank you for the puzzle! Easy enough to do if you can keep the scores and grades straight. Took me three tries to get it right. Also your grid is missing the "+" for the B.
Good one
great job, fun
The hint gave it away.
I was sooo lost... a boy got the highest score and a girl got the highest score...
nice job
Nice job! Took some time to keep the score and grade straight. Also, you're missing the + on the B, and Sara is spelled Shara in the clues.
very fun! The grade vs score rankings kept me on my toes! Good one
i screwed this one up and mixed around some grades..it was a bit too confusing for me
You're missing the "+" on your grid and it made the problem more confusing

that was a good teaser.
This was a good teaser for beginners, and can actually be completely solved without this hint:
"Shara earned a higher grade than George. George earned a higher score than Sally."
All information is still gained with four clues!
Fun stuff!

WOOOOHOOOO!! I got it!
I mean, very clever and tricky, but rather easy.

It was a good puzzle although I got confused with grades and scores!!!!
way too easy for my taste, even with the typos. Sorry.
Good One!
Very easy, but cute.
Great teaser but the grade and score really confused me. I restarted it 3 times cause I kept mixing them up
Regarding the missing "+" on the grid. I have noticed that a lot of text editors terminate a line if a special character like a "+" or a "*" for example, is entered. For some reason it doesn't happen with the minus or dash sign.
I would suggest if anyone is constructing a grid and they want to use "+" or "*" or some other special character, they should spell out the word plus or star or whatever special character they want to use.
This teaser was good, and yes I got caught out too with grades and scores.
Keep it up.
