im am first i decided to write before i did the teaser cause' i wanted to be first i am about to do the teaser now
ok u need to recheck agatha on question 5 other than that great job
I didn't get Clue #1
Good, except for some overlapping of clues.
what is wrong with agatha's clue? Is California really on the west coast?? (if you don't already know that you could go look at the maps in an elementary school)
Nice one! well written and with the right amount of clues!
There is nothing wrong with Agatha's clue #5. She moved from JUNEAU which starts with the same letter as JULY.
Love these puzzles! They are my most favorite. Thanks for a great morning!

I think they changed my hint.
I didn't get Savannah's and Josie's month, but it was fun! Hint was a help. Well, maybe to non-americans.
Some of the clues did overlap and it was fairly easy, but it was fun and I really enjoyed it. I'll make sure to say hi to Agatha when I see her... ) (I live in LA)
Nice teaser
That was a fun teaser! I enjoyed doing it. Nice work.
I didn't get Savannah and Josie's month either. I do lots of logic-grids and that's never happened before. What did I do wrong? Can you send me a message as to where this information can be logically derived from the clues? Thanks! It's a really fun teaser but I'm totally flustered!
I dont know if this will help explain but when I got to that point, I was stumped too. I went back and read the clues and saw 5) Only Lola and Agatha moved in a month that begins with the same letter as the city they moved from.
Therefore, since Savannah moved from Augusta, Savannah didn't move in April, she moved in March. Josie then moved in April.

Very nice by the way! It was fun
Clue 2 stumped me for a while. I didn't know in which states Saline and Ann Arbor were. Did a Google-search on both and solved the puzzle, only to find out you gave the states in your introduction! Duh!! That will teach me to read more thoroughly next time. Nice puzzle anyway!!
Wow, very good! I got it completely right! I had to go over the clues 4 or 5 times, but it was really worth it! Totally impressed!
Nice little teaser Thanks for the fun!
Well done
I love it
it was very well worded except for the overlapping of a fue clues
Thanks again

i just felt like saying thank you to everyone who liked my teaser.
I agree with labsmith. There are no clues to indicate the month that Savannah or Josie moved! I, as well have been doing these type of puzzles for years.
The explanation given by lillian is not logical!!!
Thanks Lillian, your explanation does make sense, I too was stumped on Savannah and Josie's month of move.
If ONLY Lola and Agatha moved in a month that started with the same letter as the town they moved from, where Savannah moved from Augusta, she couldn't have moved in April as April and Augusta both start with the same letter.
