Puppy Love
You are at the pet store to pick out a puppy. There are 9 cages in 3 rows of 3. Each cage has a different breed and different number of puppies. Figure out which cage each breed is in, and how many of each breed there are.
1. Chihuahuas are Northwest of the Spaniels, whose number is the square root of the Pomeranians.
2. The Terriers are Southeast of the Spaniels.
3. There are twice as many Corgis as there are Yorkies, who are West of the Schnauzers and North of the Spaniels.
4. The 7 puppies North of the Pomeranians barked at the 2 puppies South of the Spaniels, and the puppy East of the Poodles was all alone.
5. There is 1 less Chihuahua than Collies, who are Northwest of the Poodles.
6. The 8 Corgis are Southwest of the Spaniels, who have half the number of the Collies.
7. There are 6 puppies West of the Spaniels.

Reminds me of the song "How Much is That Doggie in The Window".
it would work out better if there was some type of computerized diplay of the puppies cages, the same idea as the logic grid. fun!
Too many directional instructions, but apart from that, not too bad.
Good one. Not too difficult For me the only problem was the reference of the terriers in the plural when there was only one. Perhaps instead of giving the Corgis (, refer to the Terriers as terrier and let us figure it from there Great
very enjoyable, well done
Nice one
great teaser! u shuld have put it in the " logic grid" \section(my favorite 1)
Great teaser!
Wouldn't fit in a logic grid, so I don't agree with that suggestion. I do agree it seemed odd to say "terriers" plural when the answer ended up with one. Perhaps Terrier cage, Spaniel cage, etc. would have solved that situation.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this teaser.
