(People don’t say ‘awesome’ anymore….?)

For those that wonder, I set it up like this (hope this translates well when it posts):
Dats Izu Toyo Voks | #1 #2 #3 #4 |
—————————————-
Beige
Burg
Red
Yellow
——-
#1
#2
#3
#4
——-

I did the standard tiered grid (3 adjacent , but as soon as the models and orders were nailed down, I redrew the it as a single 4×4 grid with models/order along one axis and colors along the other.

When the puzzles make positive statements (e.g. Red is last) and not solely negative statements (e.g. Isuzu is not beige), you can actually make “puzzle pieces” out of the clues and solve the puzzle by pasting the pieces into a single grid. Anyone else use this technique? Example available upon request.

@Josh I found this site (pages.prodigy.net/spencejk/grids.html) go down to the bottom and click on the 4×3, 4×4 section.

Use the 4×3 grid (3 categories, 4 variables per category). I did Colors and then Order down the Y axis, and Manufacturer and then Order across the X axis.

But your way works too, this is just how I remember being taught how to do them.
