Cool teaser.
Thank you!!! I finally got one submitted
Congrats! Nice teaser.
I thought that it meant that she would schedule visits so that she would see John half the time and see her children the other times. Good teaser though. Really makes you think...
Your first teaser! Congratulations!
And thanks. Huge kudos to those who contribute. It is much harder than many may think.
I can't believe I didn't notice this was a trick question. I treated it like a logic or situation puzzle. I guessed that Marie was pregnant at the time of the divorce and John died before the kids (twins?) were born. Pretty morose solution. I like yours much better.
Since I am a white cane carrying legally blind guy, I don't see your solution as being depressing at all.

I didn't notice it was a trick question either! Did the same as you Snowdog, tried reasoning out first. Congrats on first teaser! Looking forward to more! Oh, by the way, as soon as I knew it was a trick question, I got it right away.
Even easier... he died after the arrangement.
yay!
