It's prom week and 5 friends are going to hang out as a group with their dates. The boys all tried to match their dates' dresses, they each picked their dates up at different times, and after prom they all went separate ways with their dates.
Guys- Joey, Mauricio, Damian, Brian, and Pierre
Dates- Zoe, Rhonda, Renee, Cloe, and Ashley
Times of pick up- 5:45, 6:00, 6:15, 6:30, and 7:30
Dress colors- Black, White, Red, Purple, Teal
After the Prom- Watched a movie with date's family at home, Went to a huge party, Went out to dinner, Went to a club, Went to the beach for a walk.
1. Mauricio asked Rhonda, but she told him she already had a date. So he asked her sister instead, and she accepted.
2. Pierre and his date were the only ones late to prom. Because they were late, they ended up fighting and Ashley decided not to go out to dinner with him afterwards.
3. Damian's date wore a red dress. Joey's date wore black.
4. Zoe's date did not pick her up first or last. However she did not want to go to a party or a club after prom.
5. Mauricio who is never late to anything, always early, picked up his date and made sure he gave her a white flower, and had a great time at the dance.
6.Joey couldn't decide between Rhonda and Renee since they were sisters, so he made sure he asked one of the other girls.
7. Brian didn't really even want to go to the prom. He likes to stay at home, hang out with the family and watch movies, so he wasn't too quick on picking up his date. He figured the later the better, however he did not want to be late.
8. Rhonda and her date were a on again, off again couple, and when they dated, they spent tons of time at the beach. It was always their favorite spot.
9. Zoe wore a purple dress last year to prom and went there with Brian. They did not have a good time, so Brian did not want his date to wear purple and did not want his date to be Zoe again.
10. Mauricio and Pierre are the big party guys of the group, hardly ever stay with one girl, while the rest of the guys are the romantics. Mauricio's brother works at a club, and even though that's where he spends many weekends, did not feel like going to one on prom night, but he wanted to party.
11. Damian picked up his red-hot date at a quarter after six.

This took some time and a LOT of thinking (not to mention scribblings on paper). I was actually able to figure it out though and proud of myself for it! Really enjoyed this one - especially after I showed it to my husband and asked him if he could figure it out. He said heck no - even with his USAF Mst Sgt brain! Great job!!!
Sorry i did not like this teaser and i usually enjoy them. Very similar to one a recently did which I'm afraid was much better. I thought there were too many assumptions to be made rather than logic. Still at least you are coming up with puzzles for us to do so well done for that.
#10 was a little confusing. Who works at the night club, Mauricio or his brother, not very clear. Lots of assumptions instead of facts. Other than that, it was a pretty good teaser - make another!
Thanks, froggygg
I tried real hard to make one that wasn't so factual. It's boring to me to hear. so, and so did this with this. and so and so did not. I tried to make it slightly hard.
and for the rest of you I appreciate the constructive critisim.
Also I did realize about 2 days after I put mine in to be considered, I noticed someone elses had been approved that day with the same content slightly. I was very bummed. But thanks, For all the comments and I will put the same effort, with my hints for success into my next one.

Good puzzle. Got mixed up on the dinner - assumed he went without her - typically reservations are required in advance and she left him high and dry, so I made an incorrect assumption. Got everything else right - Thanks for the brain exercise.
Good one! I got Mauricio going to the club and Pierre to the party (isn't Pierre Mauricios' boet?)
i hardly got any of the dress colors... what did i do wrong???
very good! I had to read it a couple of times to make sure that I had everything in its right spot!! I'm happy with myself that I got it all correct!!
dohhhhh
I am SO glad so many of you enjoyed this teaser, and Very Glad it wasn't as hard as some made it out to be, I did the teaser while writting it, So I knew it worked, That's so much for all the compliments! ) this is the only teaser approved out of MANY, and it seems to be doing very well.!
This Logic-Grid teaser was really difficult . However, I was relieved after I eventually managed to solve it . A very GOOD puzzle to solve.
I got everything but a little confused on the dinner thing.
But other than that it was a fun teaser

It was fun. I had to read the clues a lot of times, but i got the answers right! Yipeee!
Hmm, I just worked one just like this on another site. Not really interested in working it again.

I liked your last teaser so much I looked for more, And this one was good, but not as easy for me as the last one! I liked it though! Keep up the good teasers!
This was a good fun one! The only hesitation I have is clue #5 about the white flower. Logically speaking, any color flower can be worn with a prom dress - they certainly don't always have to match. So that clue is very much an assumption, not logic! Got it anyway though.
AWESOME teaser, I printed it out to do it on paper -- so that I could erase. It only took me like, 1/2 an hour, but it was so fun to do!
Great job!
Great job!

Wow this one was really good. I highly enjoyed it. And I happen to know the kids, and I thought it would be based on the real prom but it's not even how you guys went. So I didn't know the answers and found it to be extremly enjoyable. You go girl!!!!!

This was good. I had to put on paper as well, I like it when I am stumped. Good jod! Do another one!

This one is mos def a fav. I liked it. I expected another dumb. Johnny went with sally, and so & so went with so & so. Boring. This was good. I also would like to see another riddle from you. Good work!
ALthough the story was interesting, I did not really enjoy this teaser. I found there were way too many assumptions to be made. I also agree with the previous comments about the clue with the brother's nightclub; I think you had a misplaced modifier there.
Great teaser, but according to clues #1 and #6, Damian couldn't have gone to the prom with Rhonda as the answer states. Or did I misread something?
According to # 1 Mauricio asked Rhonda but she already had a date so he asked her sister and went with her sister.
On # 6 Joey didn't want to dicide between the 2 sisters so he asked someone else as well. Rhonda went to prom with Damian.

I liked the extra details that made it interesting. When there's a story along with the puzzle it's always more fun.
Good job. I was confused on only one area, but once I put it on paper and went through each clue, I got it. Great job. Loved the story.
This was an excellent teaser! Although, I admit, there were some assumptions. Sorry. But even so, still an excellent teaser! I'll look for more teasers from you!
Great teaser! Had me thinking. I'll be looking for more from you. I have to agree though that you had to make assumptions to solve this one (especially for the times). Fun overall though!
I enjoyed this one. It was very creative and a nice sized teaser that was easier than it looked. You have to be careful not to make assumptions, though, which is a nice way to keep people on their toes. Good job and thanks for the teaser!
Really enjoyed this one. Good clues and it made you think. Keep up the good work.
I've tried this one about a dozen times, and have never got it right. I wonder if it is because I find the assumptions are unique to US high school background? I went to an all boys school in England (the old one) many many years ago, but at that time proms were unheard of, even in the mixed sex schools.
Still it must be gratifying that your puzzle is absorbing people 10 years after you unleashed it onto the world wide web.

SPOILER ALERT!!! Had a little difficulty tying in the last three dates until I realized Rhonda spent tons of time at the beach and Brian liked to stay home. Those two clues eliminated other possibilities, and I finished the puzzle. GREAT job!!! Challenging and fun. Hope I can look forward to more.
