Tim, Ron, and Bob are brothers, and each of their wives (Ute, Linda, Mildred) have birthdays coming up one right after the other. However, the husbands don't know what to get for their own wives, so the brothers decided to get a present for one of their sisters-in-law. The gifts were a bracelet, a rug, and tickets to a ballet. Find out which brother got a gift for whom, what they bought, and the order of the birthdays.
1. The order of the birthdays were: Mildred, the person Tim bought something for, and the one who got the tickets.
2. Tim loves his wife Ute, but didn't realize their daughter was going to be in a ballet.
3. Bob's wife, Linda, hates Ute, so Bob didn't buy anything for her.
4. Mildred helped Tim pick out the bracelet he bought after her birthday party.
5. No husband actually purchased a gift for his own wife.

Very fun and rather easy. I liked the twist that you could find the wife out, but it didn't matter in the grid.

Very good. I messed up the grid the first 2 times - but then got my act together. Good one - fun.
I also liked the twist -- that we weren't looking for who the spouse was! Good one!

I thought it was a little confusing, too. But, I got it. It was fun and pretty easy once you worked out all the clues
you actually didn't need the last clue...otherwise very good
good one. easy.
Very good. The fact that the husbands didn't buy gifts for their wives confused me the first time, but it was very easy once I did it again!!
Wow! That was more difficult than it looked! Good job on putting that twist on it.
I screwed it up the first time -- that's what I get for not reading the intro! Second time was *still* confused, but third time was a charm!
