Hints for first Puzzle Baron's Logic Puzzles Book (2010)

[Disoriented]

2. Barber Shop (127)

Change Clue 1 to the following: The five customers are the one who was served first, the one who got the flattop, Matthew, the customer who requested a crew cut (who wasn't served fourth), and the one who has prematurely gray hair (who isn't Alan and who wasn't served third).

Change Clue 3 to the following: Trevor got his haircut before Matthew. Neither Trevor nor Matthew has brown hair.

That’s not quite right? I think you mean to say we should assume that Alan wasn’t served third. We already know the gray-haired man wasn’t served third from combination of clues 1 and 4.

It has to be this way, as the solution does not appear to be unique otherwise.

Admin - please check Gail's Green Thumb, page 180, in Volume 2. At the very least the grid headings are incorrect, and I suspect there are other errors in this puzzle.

admin Can someone look into this? I'm trying to solve it five years later and still seeing no answer. Thanks!

Can you post a screen shot of where you're stuck? If you're stuck with $25 being either 15 or 18, and Backyard being either 12 or 18, Clue 4 should clear it up. Except for the category headers, the puzzle appears to be solvable. Watch out for the compound clues like #1, #5, and #11. There are more relations in those clues than a first glance meets the eye.
