This was hard! BUT I GOT IT!!! great teaser jellybean! You should be proud!
I have bought U.S. and British logic books. I have read the "How to's" I am not a dummy, but I have yet to figure out one of these puzzles--even when the magazines provide a helpful grid to check off items as you confirm them.
If you designed this one...congratulations! I sure wish I could solve them!
