Ooph. I though this was really tough. I was forced to make a 50/50 guess about halfway through, and then start over when I hit a contradiction. I also cheated a bit, using the fact that the scores range from 6-10 in the attached grid. I may go back and try again to see if I can deduce that the two less obvious scores are 8 and 9, and if the puzzle can be solved that way.
I spent a lot of time on this, and enjoyed it! Thank you very much.

Enjoyed this one! I didn't use the grid for anything other than getting the values. I find this type easier to solve with a table format.
Interesting. I don't do a lot of logic grid puzzles, so my technicque may be lacking. I'll give this a swing with a table and see how that goes. I'd love to learn how to solve these in finite time.
Big respect for Tilley.

I didn't intend for the teaser to be done without the knowledge of the fact that the numbers were from 6-10. I will correct it.
Let me know how it goes, Snowdog. Maybe I can help?
