Pretty sure I found a mistake in one of the new puzzles

Doing this one: https://logic.puzzlebaron.com/play.p...8d713613ca6c1d I'm not sure if links to specific puzzles work, this puzzle is about motorcycle brands, colors, owners, and years. (I'm keeping it open on a tab, is there something that shows the specific puzzle number? I don't see what it would be)

Clue number 8 says the silver bike is five years older than the Honda but this is impossible because only silver and Harley can be the top two rows and they are explicitly different from one of the "the five motorcycles are..." clues. I tried entering the silver bike as five year younger than the Honda and that solved the puzzle.

I'd appreciate someone double checking this one for me. The Guest top score wasn't crazy slow, it was in the 200s so someone was able to solve it. Am I just having a total brainfart and misreading the clue? Or is it genuinely an error?

I can't pull up that exact puzzle with that link, but this type of clue often trips people up because "older" actually means "earlier in the series"... i.e. a bike made in 1965 is "older" than one made in 1970. Sometimes people see "older" and immediately think that means later in the series but when it comes to years it can be a little tricky. Was that possibly the issue?

Oh let me go look, if that's what I did, I'm gonna be so embarrassed, I've been doing puzzles here for years. I do always get tripped on the ocean depth one.

Omgosh, that's exactly what I did. Argh, in my defense, it was one of the first puzzles this morning and I guess I was fuzzy. I thought it was odd that the Guest didn't have a problem and I was so stuck.

No worries, it happens to all of us at one time or another!
