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
Jacob, Dustin, Brittany, Michelle, and Scott were eating at a restaurant. They each liked one of the following: apples, carrots, Starburst, sandwiches, or Skittles.
Their ages, in no specific order, are: 38, 14, 18, 43, 16.
Their food was under cooked, and they got bad food poisoning. Therefore, no one could remember who was who, but what they could remember was this:
1. The one who is 14 likes Skittles.
2. The one who is 18 has a name that doesn't start with the letter S or B.
3. Michelle is not 14 or 43.
4. Dustin likes Starburst.
5. Brittany is older than Jacob.
6. Scott is older than Dustin and Michelle.
7. Jacob is younger than Dustin.
8. Scott doesn't like sweets or fruit.
9. Michelle likes sandwiches.
10. Michelle is five years younger than Scott.
Can you straighten out this mess and discover who is who?

great work tinman - a little bit easy, but that's always nice at the end of a long day
FUN! but since when do you get food poisoning from most of those foods ? lol It's 3 in the morning, so I needed one that fun n e-z!
it was fun... a few extra clues but thats ok.
Good Job Tinman easy but fun you didnt say that the foods that they liked were the foods that gave food poisoning beware of conclusing jumping

Easy but fun. I hope the restuarant that's serving those undercooked foods isn't anywhere near me!
pretty easy... but at first it confused me when it said that scott didn't like sweets or fruits but michelle liked sandwichs cuz I was thinking carrots were fruits
fun i enjoyed it
Not impossible, but I certainly don't consider it easy. For instance, I needed to write it down to get it.
clue 3 and 6 are not needed
