ReplyDeleteI just want you to know that I came across this blog and am basically obsessed with it as of this morning. AND it only took me an hour to do this stinkin' logic grid to find out that the German has the fish.
My goodness... that's quite a logic grid you made up. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteFound your blog via Blogs of Note. Very cool. I had to check to see if you had this one. We did it in class in 6th grade, back in 1965! I had a fun teacher. I was one of the few kids who figured it out without a hint. I used columns for each house.
ReplyDeleteA few years ago, I posted it to a message board, but I updated it by swapping something else for cigarettes. And to test myself, I tried figuring it out again. Took less time than when I was 12. ;)
I'm glad you're enjoying it Shelly. I've gotten a lot more readers over the past few days ever since this site was mentioned over on blogs of note.
ReplyDeleteIt's been pretty exciting for me.
