  1. Nice, hard enough to make me think, easy enough that my head didn’t explode, I’d say “just right”.

  4. Piece of cake. When it comes to logic puzzles, the more complex the better.

  5. This was great Sandy, maybe soon we can have a four dimensional logic problem. (Don’t want to put too big of a demand on you, but I love logic problems.)

  8. Great puzzle, I think your first foray into a 3x3x3 puzzle was a success!

  10. I appreciate the attempt at a 3x3x3 for those of us who always cry about how easy the logic puzzles are.. but I’m still itching for a challenge!

  11. I thought it was “just right!” Took some thinking, but was easy enough to solve rather quickly.

  12. The kids had to do a diagram but I did it in my head. Good one.

  13. Thanks, folks… I’m a logical-thinking guy, but logic puzzles were never my specialty. Glad I’m on the right track. I’m going to go a step or two further and try to incorporate wordplay (or more interesting clues, anyway) into some future logic puzzles. Hope it works!
