Battles For the Gods
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
There was once a massive evil being, so grand that it took gods from all over the world to just defeat his minions. Each minion needed to be fought with a special weapon in a special place or they would never die. Also, since gods are busy people, they could choose the date of the fight. The gods decided who would use what weapon, when, and where, based on if they could use the weapon well, if they liked the battleground or not, and if they were free that day. If they liked the battleground, then they would fight there. There were five minions, five dates, five gods, five battlegrounds, and five weapons:
5 Gods: Thor, Zeus, Ra, Apophis and Loki
5 Minions: Fiery Fiend, Metal Eye, Anti-God, Giant Worm, and the Undead Cyclops
5 Weapons: Heavenly Spear, Diamond Dagger, Doomsword, Night Bow and Staff of Fury
5 Battlegrounds: Easter Island, Stonehenge, Camelot, Sherwood Forest and Avalon
5 Dates: March 17, December 25, February 14, January 1, and December 31
Can you find out which god fought which minion where, when and with what weapon?
Clues:
1) Loki did not fight the Fiend, but did use the Bow.
2) Thor fought about 283 days before Zeus.
3) The one who fought the Cyclops is the one who fought on Dec. 31.
4) The one who fought the Fiend, who fought at Camelot on Jan. 1 didn't use the Dagger.
5) The Spear user fought on Easter Island on March 17.
6) The one who fought in Sherwood Forest fought on Dec. 31.
7) Ra fought with the Sword in Avalon.
8) The Fiend was fought by Apophis.
9) The Giant Worm was defeated at Stonehenge.
10) The Anti-God was defeated on March 17.

Very good story to go along with it. Enjoyed it! Keep them coming.
i like it a lot, but counting 283 days was a pain...
timeanddate.com has a nifty calculator for figuring out the number of days...I figured it had to be between March and one of the December dates.
Good tough one! Fun!
yeah the counting was what took longest...but I did it right, YAY!
May I ask why you combined the greek and norse gods together, thats the only thing that stumped me. Well, other than that, good teaser, i liked it.
and egyptian gods, can't forget them.
Well, I'm a major fan of stargate sg-1, so the Norse and Egyptian gods were from that, but I threw in Zeus for variety.
easy, but fun
I loved it!!!
I loved it!!!
I agree that the hardest part, which was really more time consuming than hard, was the days thing. Not bad tho. Keep em coming!
I love mythology and enjoyed the puzzle based on it. Looking forwrd to another challenge.
Good job...
Ugh, I couldn't do it. I probably was looking way into it, or looking at it way too long! But I ended up just making guesses, because I was so frustrated.
I think it was the 283 day clue that threw me off.
Nice teaser though, they're supposed to be challenging.
