The Funeral
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
A sad event has just taken place. Four people have died. They each had a funeral. Their names were Scott, Hill, Miles and Paul. They were each related to someone. They were called Raven, Simon, Michael and Richard. The ways they were related are father & son, brothers, cousins and uncle & nephew. Their funerals each took place on different days. They were Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. You must say whose funeral took place on what day, who they were related to and in what way. Unfortunately, you cannot remember very much, but you do remember the following things:
1) Nobody went to someone's funeral whose first name began with the same letter as their own name.
2) Hill's funeral was not on Monday or Friday.
3) Richard's cousin's funeral did not take place on Friday or Sunday.
4) Simon doesn't have any brothers.
5) Raven went to his father's funeral on Sunday.
6) Scott's funeral was 2 days before Hill's.
7) Michael and Scott are brothers.
8) One person's funeral was on a day which begins with the same letter as their own name.
9) Miles doesn't have children.
10) The uncle's funeral was 2 days before the brother's funeral.
Good luck.

I don't know what happened. I just couldn't solve this one. I think my brain shorted out.
You need to correct your teaser.
Why? What's wrong with it?
didn't understand it. its like my brain just shut off.
uhhh... i thought i got it right. but i didn't. i guess its too early to do logic grid puzzles and stuff. i'm going back to bed now.....
I see there was slight confusion in the clues, especial the one about the fathers funeral being two days beofore the brothers, yes Sunday is before Monday and Wedneday, but the order you have it in the grid makes it look like its the Sunday of the next week.
I made corrections to it, lets just hope they work

It says "The uncle's funeral was 2 days before the brother's funeral." If you misread it I can see why it would be difficult.
i feel bad for all the people who lost their loved ones lol
I always cry at funerals.
Another great logic grid, even though it took a while to solve.
Next time, you should have your hint actually help the user! 'Use the logic-grid solver'? DUH! Anyone with half a brain would know to do that!
lost AGAIN!
Being the cute little dork i am, i didn't get it... but it was kewl. i liked it. poor raven and that other...peoples...
This is a good, stimulating teaser!
I had to do it thrice, before I got it right!

i thought the top explanation was kinda confusing.....but, all in all a goood teaser
*i meant "good" instead of "goood"- sry!
Good teaser but, I agree - some confusion in clues. Really have to study them. I'm very good with these but I somehow reversed Hill and Paul.
Honestly, I think that it could've been so much better and that also your clues were'nt very heklpful to me, I kind of had to guess on most of them, and like some one had said, use your hint to actually help the person if you have the hint!!! You don't have to have it! That made me mad because I couldn't figure it out and the hint didn't even helkp!
It was sooooooooo! hard the logic-grid wasn't a lot of help. thanx's though I had to dust off a few brain cells.
good teaser. I thought the clues were okay, though they made you think!
I thought it was well done and that your hints were fine, of course maybe I done it after your corrections. Fun and not too easy or too hard
Thanks CDrock for editing my clues. I think I understood them better now.
that teaser was ok. it was kinda hard to understand but hey! it happens!!!! nice job!!!!!!!
I enjoyed it...it was fun, but not too challenging...
good job..that was fun...i didnt use the grid..i mixed up the days of paul and hill's funerals lol...i liked it
yeah i had hill and pauls funeral days swapped around - think that the clues might need some more refining
it didnt make sense... the uncle should be on friday and it said.....AHHHhhh... it was wrong okay?!?
Oops. When I was reading the comments about Hill and Paul being swapped round, I checked the teaser. Nooooooooooooooo!
PS you guys were right.
Hmmmmmmmmm. Weird. I solved it before. What happened?
I don't know if it's been fixed yet or not, but I didn't get it right either. Something is wrong though, going from the clues as they are, you go through the grid quite quickly and smoothly...but then you're wrong at the end. hmmm.
Nah, its' fine. I got it right quickly and easily. It's kind of depressing, though The thought of brothers an fathers dying just made me want to cry!

If there was anything wrong it is fixed now because the clues are all clear and everything works out well on the logic grid. By the way you would be suprised how mahy people do NOT use the logic grid and then complain that all the information is not given in the story This IS a GOOD puzzle
Got it half right... I'm no good at these
i love smilies!!!
Deceptively hard puzzle. It looks like it will be so easy but whether it's the way the clues are given or what - I don't know - but this teaser was much harder than I expected!
Sad and hard. I couldnt get it right lol
You put the fun in funeral.
I thought this 1 was easy, which is wierd cause I'm only okay at these kinds of things.
I had to clear the grid the first time, but the second time around was quick and easy.
