Were you able to solve it? Did you find it easy, hard, or just the right amount of challenge? If using in the classroom, how did your students find it?
Either way, as simple as it looks, this was a challenging puzzle that required a fair bit of problem solving. In case there was any struggle with this challenge, I’ve included a solution strategy guide for solving this particular puzzle.
The third clue, ‘Snow White received flowers as a ‘get well’ gift.’ We still cannot make any more markings at this stage, except now we know from the previous clue, that Snow White didn’t receive Tulips, because Tulips were given to say ‘thank you’ and Snow White received flowers to say ‘get well.’ So just keep this information in mind again for later.
The fourth clue, ‘Larry the Wizard bought flowers for someone’s birthday.” This clue paired with the two clues above helps make some deductions. First, mark yes for Larry and the reason ‘birthday, and cross out the rest of that row and boxed column.
Then, if Larry bought flowers for Pinocchio and Little Red bought flowers for Molly, the last pair to match up is Nivens McTwisp with Snow White. (See circled sections in the image above).
– Snow white received flowers to get well, so now that we know that Nivens McTwisp bought the flowers for her, we can mark ‘YES’ for that reason in Nivens McTwisp’s column.
– We also know that Tulips were given as a ‘thank you,’ so we can eliminate tulips as being the flower gift from Nivens to Snow.
