Lovely, simply lovely. Thank you for a fun time.
I had to read the clues a few times. I got all but two on the first go, but then thought "I've GOT to be missing something!" I eventually found what I was missing! Nice one!!!!
Another good job Rob Just wondering though did they plant the trees for Labor day or Arbor day or for a new holliday called Larbor day????
Lol no its Labor Day i meant to put Labor Day its being corrected as you read it by me
love all your teasers, please write more!!!
You should state that the trees were all planted the _same_ week. Otherwise the before/after clues, while not useless, are not sufficient for solving the puzzle.
C'mon, Scihead, aren't we allowed to ASSUME that the days are all in one week?????
Good one, although I had to read it a couple of times . Hand hurts and eyes But I got it. Keep these coming I like a good brain workout
Not to easy, not to hard.
Ok, DaveC, I am going to ASSUME that you are being facetious, because we all know that assumptions are not logical.
I don't know if it was just me or the puzzle, but it didn't make sense after trying it many times. Maybe it didn't make sense because I'm way too happy and I'm not myself.
Fun. The days of the week clues would have been useless without the assumption of chronological in a week. So, I had no problem with that. Anyway, several OTHER logic grid writers have used that same structure. Anyone who wants to quibble over that as an assumption is trying to mae a very easy logic grid completely unenjoyable.
I had to start over, but it was fun!
Wow, neat! I love this thing, had to start over though as I thought the last hint stated that the tree in the garden was Mrs.Frosts and the Maple Tree was Wandas but still fun nevertheless. Good job ^_^
I really liked this one. The last clue was confusing at first but after i reread it, it made since. Thanks Rob and keep 'em coming!
Average difficulty, but it was cool.
I enjoy the way this kind of puzzle is done, but I need way more clues. Can't we make a second level for the less smart... I must have stared at that for an hour and do not see any connections. oh well, la de da
Nice teaser, I got confused a few times but I eventually got it all figured out.
great teaser! As for the quibble over the days of the week... The intro very clearly states "a different day of THE week", AND they are planting for a holiday which would logically mean the week of the holiday. Common Sense people! Stop knit-picking and enjoy the teaser.
