Surviving the South Pacific
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
Ten friends went on a boating expedition in the South Pacific. During a storm the boat capsized sending all of them into the ocean. Fortunately, they were all wearing life jackets and each person was tied to a buddy for protection. Each pair landed on a different deserted island, which only had one food source, and was able to survive by eating that food. Eventually each pair was rescued, but in different weeks after the accident. From the clues below determine the name of each pair, what they ate to survive, and how long it took to be rescued.
1) Deon and Clay named their island One Tree Island and unfortunately for them, the name was appropriate.
2) Thanks to a shallow lagoon, fish was the daily meal for Simon, who was on the island a week longer than the ones who ate coconuts.
3) Nick's stay was longer than Quincy's, but not as long as the pair that ate seagulls.
4) Rickey was on his island for six weeks.
5) Keith said that he would never eat crabs again after he got off the island, which he was on longer than Forrest was on his.
6) Hunter was found two weeks after the pair who survived on snakes.

geek!
I'm finding this one difficult--but I'll keep trying!
no good clues
Strange.....If there were only one tree, how could they survive on coconuts? That's what troubled me.
Had to have lots of coconuts on the ground from the one tree I guess!
Good puzzle!
Good puzzle!
found it easy this time ..was dalmfest's correction to do with the clues? anyway, it's all good
Its quite easy to solve the grid when you have the answers
Yay!! Finally, a really good logic-grid!! Loved it!!Had so much fun! Make more of these!
This puzzle would be slightly more challenging - yet still workable - if you don't tell in clue 1 who is eating coconuts.
Clue one is very misleading. It could be interpreted as the one tree eliminates the possibility that they survive for an extended period of time on coconuts (i.e. a 4 week period of time). I would recommend changing it from unfortunately to fortunately. Just a suggestion
