The parents of 5 boys went out for the night to celebrate their anniversary, and left their kids with a new babysitter. Unfortunately for the babysitter, the boys were feeling particularly restless that night, and decided to pull out their instruments and start playing. However, they all played a different tune and were making horrible noise instead of sweet music. The babysitter asked them to stop and they made a deal with her. If she can figure out the name of each boy, the instrument they are playing, and the color of their shirt, they will sit down and watch television. Can you help the babysitter figure it out before she pulls her hair out?
Boys Names: Roger, Ogden, Perry, Brent, Willie
Shirt Colors: white, green, purple, red, blue
Instrument: flute, drums, violin, guitar, bass
Clues:
1) The five boys are: Willie, the one playing the drums, the one wearing a blue shirt and playing the flute, the person wearing white, and Roger.
2) Ogden and Brent are wearing primary colors.
3) Perry has to be careful not to get his bow rosin on his white shirt.
4) At one point, Brent gets sick of hearing the boy in purple playing the bass, and throws one of his drumsticks at the boy.
5) Although purple wasn't Roger's first choice, it was the only shirt that smelled clean that morning.

Good first teaser. I loved the story that went with it Good job!
im a lover of logic grid puzzles
your is pretty good
your is pretty good
A nicely done easy one; a good way to start the day!
it was pretty good for a first teser! but it was a little easy.
Good writing, too many direct clues, though. One read through and the whole grid was filled without some of the "answers" being given (white shirt one for one)
Ok that comment didn't come out right. What I meant to say was that the white shirt clue was redundant. Clue #1 gives so much information that some of the others were unnecessary, making it really easy. But it was fun and I scored it high!
i thought it was really good, especially for a 1st teaser. it was kinda easy, but they aren't exactloy easy to think up!
Good job!!
i loved it! (personally because im a band geek)
it was a great teaser. it was challenging enough to be fun but easy enough to finish. loved it!
i liked the story that went with it..good for ur first teaser..prettty easy
Good Job!!!!! Especially for a first teaser. I said it before and ill say it again: easy and good are not mutually exclusive!!! Keep up the good work
Great job for a first teaser! It was fun.
Very cute...I luvved it!
Clue 3 was a bit redundant, but if someone didn't get all the X's right from the first clue I suppose that came in handy. Thanks for submitting.
I see clues like this one on a lot of teasers but I never understand what they're telling me. Can someone explain?
1) The five boys are: Willie, the one playing the drums, the one wearing a blue shirt and playing the flute, the person wearing white, and Roger.

good job! Easy but fun!
do_you_yahoo: those clues list the 5 people involved. You can then figure out that Willie does not play the drums, wear blue shirt, etc...
