Cant figure it out, how is it the German?[/quote]
You just have to make a chart that cross-references all the variables. Then you fill it in using the clues and, by process of elimination you end up with the German,Fish space as the last one left empty.

I did puzzle’s much more difficult than this in 5th grade in a Gifted and Talented school program we got bussed to on Fridays.
The grids were already pre-drawn, though.
They started out with one square(level A) and worked up to as many as 15 pairings(level E) I think.
They had to order level F’s up to 40 pairings for me and one other kid.
By sixth grade we were finishing them faster than all the B and C kids.
If you can’t tell, I really like puzzles and propositional logic in general.

Thanks for the flash back OP.[/quote]
We had those as well. They gave them to us in class to see who could finish them the fastest. I hated them because it felt like busy work. Now, puzzles are more interesting. It’s the only reason I play Tomb Raider even now.
