Puzzle Corner

lostmyway

What about a corner that challenges people's problem solving abilities?

Aspies are supposed to like solving puzzles, so how about it?

    I could never do cryptic crosswords at all: I think they require too much understanding of metaphor and... stuff.  I'm not too bad at puzzles where I'm clear about the rules, but I've always been very bad at puzzles where I have to spend more time figuring out what the questions are than the answers.  Same back when I was doing my O-levels, some of the exam writers obviously had a serious problem being concise and unambiguous: I always hated those ones.

    Good point, vometia. Of course, there are all kinds of puzzles.

    Ok, this one should be right up your street, vometia:

    I was visiting my daughter's friends and noticed a number of things.

    Jessica had mousy coloured hair and the girl with black hair was wearing a green dress.

    Lucy is not blonde and Lauren does not have brown hair, Chloe was wearing a blue dress.

    The blonde girl was not wearing red and Lauren was not wearing green.

     I don't recall which girl was wearing a yellow dress.

    Can you work out the colours of the girl's dresses and their hair?
