Drat! hpboy13 got there first. Too bad I didn't see this puzzle sooner. Still took me the past hour and a half to do. Keep up the good work all of you puzzle people at the Quibbler!

Posted by: Evreka Feb 15 2009, 05:14 AM

Well done both of you!

The crossword is still unsolved... at least in here.

However, I hope you had fun solving it, even if you weren't first in here!

Posted by: hpboy13 Mar 7 2009, 01:23 AM

Squee, I got it! I can't believe I was actually first to get this, it took me a while - you have no ideas how many post-its I have lying around with what looks like alphabet soup on them.

D R E D F I V E U S E D I T I O N


Or in normal punctuation:
The great shamrock dissolved, the leprechauns drifted down onto the field on the opposite side from the Veela, and settled themselves cross-legged to watch the match. Goblet of Fire, Chapter 8, page 105, US Edition

When I saw the hint I instantly knew what to do.

Posted by: pottervfd Mar 16 2009, 01:59 PM

My solution for the St.Patrick's Day logic puzzle:

Place: Prefect's Bathroom
Irish token: green water
Student: Aisling
House: Gryffindor

Place: Astronomy Tower
Irish token: Irish flag
Student: Maura
House: Hufflepuff

Place: Great Hall
Irish token: Reel dance
Student: Connor
House: Slytherin

Place: Courtyard
Irish token: shamrocks
Student: Sean
House: Ravenclaw





I hope I got it right. I was a little confused as to whether Aisling was a boy or a girl, but I think I figured it out.

Posted by: Evreka Mar 16 2009, 03:33 PM

Congratulations, michaelabraham!
Your solution for March's logic puzzle is correct!

greatpetie83 - as I haven't gotten round to solving the crypto myself yet, I've also avoided to highlight your solution and therefore have no comment.

It's a good start, but you seem to have mixed up the Houses a bit. Perhaps you should re-read clue 1 and make certain you squeeze out all information from it?

As for the gender question on Aisling, let's look closer at clue 5.
"Aisling, who isn't in Slytherin, is secretly in love with the Reel dancer. She didn’t Charm any Shamrocks." So she's a girl.

Posted by: michaelabraham Mar 16 2009, 09:45 PM

Yay!!!
Go Puffs and Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

I think I've finally got the Battle of Hogwarts puzzle! I gotta say, this one was the toughest by far.

Peggy fought inside Hogwarts using Incarcerous, was a 7th year Hufflepuff pureblood, and lost her boyfriend.
Jenny fought in the Gryffindor Tower using Impedimenta, was a 7th year Ravenclaw halfblood, and lost her sister.
Kathleen fought in the Ravenclaw Tower using Expelliarmus, was a 6th year Hufflepuff muggleborn, and lost her cousin.
Matthew fought on the ground using Expecto Patronum, was a Gryffindor alumnus muggleborn, and lost his brother.
Steven fought in the Astronomy Tower using Stupefy, was a 6th year Gryffindor pureblood, and lost his best friend.

Posted by: Evreka May 3 2009, 02:12 PM

Congratulations to a correct solution!

We're trying to vary the difficulty level between issues. The last few logic puzzles in The Quibbler have been going easier for a while. So this was meant to be distinctly tougher. A Battle to solve it, perhaps. Which you won with flying colours. However, we won't aim for anything this difficult again in a hurry.

Posted by: barnyweasley May 3 2009, 02:29 PM

For the crossword puzzle, the letters in the blue cells unscramble to say VICTORY.

Posted by: hpboy13 May 3 2009, 04:42 PM

Squee, I pulled it off! I must've spent like an hour sitting buried in post-its trying to figure it out.


Oh by all means,keep up the difficulty level! It's so much more fun when it's a challenge!

Posted by: Evreka May 3 2009, 04:53 PM

Congratulations, barnyweasley! Well done, indeed!

And welcome to Leaky Lounge!

I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks! This was my first Quibbler, and I must say the puzzles were a lot of fun! I agree with hpboy13 above that it is a lot of fun when it's challenging.

Posted by: HPfan13 May 3 2009, 09:07 PM

I think I have the answer for the "Battle Logics".

In Gryffindor Tower, Jenny a 7th year Ravenclaw, used Impedimenta, lost her sister and is a Half-Blood.
In the grounds, Matthew a alumni Gryffindor, used Expecto Patronum, lost his brother and is a Muggle-Born.
In Astronomy Tower, Steven a 6th year Gryffindor, used Stupefy, lost his friend and is a Pure-Blood.
In Ravenclaw Tower, Kathleen, a 6th year Hufflepuff, used Expellarmus, lost her cousin and is a Muggle-Born.
Inside Hogwarts, Peggy, a 7th year Hufflepuff, used Incarcerous, lost her boyfriend and is a Pure-Blood.

I hope I got that right, if not, let me know.

Posted by: greatpetie83 Jun 16 2009, 06:20 AM

How do you solve the logic puzzle? Do you use a standard grid to solve it or do you use other methods?

Posted by: Evreka Jun 17 2009, 01:43 PM

I guess that differs between persons. Of course you can construct a logigrid and use that to solve them, I know of at least one Quibblet who does this regularly.

I, however, have never been a friend of the logigrid. I often find it at least as confusing looking at spread X's and -'s, as the original clues in text. So what I tend to do when I solve a logic riddle is to grab a pen and a lot of papers and note down what the clues tell me in some sort of short notation, and also matching all that can be matched just from the clues, as well as what possibilities are left after I've discarded any that were explicitly eliminated in the clues.

Then I tend to look at my paper and consider which of the "things" that should be matched that I know most about after this first match and elimination round. And so I take a different paper, or part of paper and write up all existing such, with what I know of them. Sometimes I get a few different such listings on the paper. As in one for example matches all I know for each name and the other all I know for each shoe size.

Also I tend to as quickly as it is practical revert the eliminations to the possibilities left. Let's say that I have five different shoe colours to match for each person and I know that Bert's shoes are neither black or green. Then that's the same as to say that his has any of the other three colours. Also I always print the clues on paper or copy them to a word document or something so I can mark a clue (or a part there of) as soon as I have made use of all it contains, so that for each time I re-read the clues and am able to match more things together, I get fewer clues to re-examine.

Having done that, more information from the logic riddle will be able to match up, or eliminate as possibilities and by repeating the procedure the answer will fall out eventually. If it doesn't, it means I have over looked a clue or interpreted something wrongly. And if I can't spot where the problem is, I generally put it aside for awhile and start over on some new pieces of paper.

Was it this type of answer you were looking for, greatpetie83 or was it a more detailed guide on how such a thing work?

How do others go about it?

Posted by: greatpetie83 Jun 17 2009, 03:37 PM

Yes, that was something I was looking for because with this last logic puzzle you have 6 variables to match up which makes it a very big logigrid so that's why I wondered.
Maybe I'm going to try it the way you do it if I have some time.

Posted by: Evreka Jun 18 2009, 10:42 AM

Good luck!

Posted by: greatpetie83 Jun 19 2009, 05:22 AM

Finished the crossword and I think the answer is descendio

Going to do the logic puzzle now.

Update: failed with the logic puzzle, made a mistake somewhere with the order to leave, better luck next time.

Posted by: Evreka Jun 21 2009, 04:13 PM

I'm affraid this isn't correct. To begin with there are (or should be!?!) 8 blue cells in the crossword, while the word you suggest have nine. Also, while some letters do match the correct solution it's not true for all.

If you want help with the solution you could tell me which cells you find what letter in, and that will give me some idea of wich words you have wrong. Or you can simply ask for clues for some words if you already have a good hunch on where the problem lies?

Posted by: greatpetie83 Jun 22 2009, 05:45 AM

It was a guess based on the letters I did have but didn't have the d's. I guessed those, but now realising there are more spells dat use the same letters. Gonna take another look.

Took another look and it's Evanesco Something totally different... Teaches me not to post wild guesses

Posted by: Evreka Jun 24 2009, 02:50 PM

Congratulations, you found it!

If you or someone else want hints or other help for any of the puzzles, just ask away.

Posted by: greatpetie83 Aug 1 2009, 05:05 PM

Yay, mentioned in the Quibbler again. Having another go, the solution to the rune puzzle:

House: Gryffindor

House traits: brave, chivalry and courage

3 witches: ginny, parvati, padma (actually ravenclaw, in movie gryffindor)

they are all: sisters

Posted by: Evreka Aug 2 2009, 03:14 AM

Congratulations, greatpetie83!

As for the mistake you mention, I am very sorry. We caught that too late to fix it in the paper. Originally, way back when this was first constructed, (before even presenting it to the rest of the Quibblets) the third name was 'Molly'. When I changed that, thinking it made the final part unnecessarily difficult - and also debatable as Molly isn't really a sister as much as she was - I forgot all about how I had phrased the witches tagline.

And in subsequent proof readings, I guess everyone has not payed enough attention to the taglines, just checked the puzzle itself. When we finally caught this, the paper had already been sent to the news agents of TLC. We will certainly look the puzzles through more closely from now on.

Posted by: greatpetie83 Aug 2 2009, 05:20 AM

I don't mind, but with Molly it could have been interesting, making it maybe a bit more difficult which is not a bad thing.

Posted by: nathaniel0401 Aug 2 2009, 10:58 AM

I think I have the answer to the logic problem in the august issue.

Larry is 16, the Ravenclaw captain, likes Gobstones, and came in 1st
Adam is 14, the seeker, likes hide and seek, and came in 2nd
Mark is 17, the chaser, likes exploding snap, and came in 3rd
Pete is 13, the keeper, likes chess, and came in 4th
Ian is 15, the beater, likes playing cards, and came in 5th

Am I right?

Welcome to the Leaky Lounge, nathaniel0401!

And yes, you are indeed correct! Congratulations!

When you post a solution to a puzzle, we have a useful feature here called a 'spoiler tag'. It's a courtasy to anyone who has not yet solved it but happens to look at the thread.If you check your answer out now, you can see what it does. One of the LL moderators have been kind enough to hide your answer with it. This way those who haven't got the solution yet, but happens to look at the thread, can avoid seeing it. To read it you have to highlight the solution. You achieve this by typing

[_spoiler]logic reply[/_spoiler] (but without the underscore '_', replace '_spoiler' with 'spoiler' in the tags) which gives this result:

logic reply.

Posted by: nathaniel0401 Aug 3 2009, 08:57 AM

OK, thanks.I'll do that from now on.

And the blue word in the crossword puzzle is HOGWARTS.

By the way, there are a couple of errors in the list of clues:
"L (1-7)" should be "L (1-6)"
"14 (1-2)" should be "14 (A-B)"

Also fun!

Congratulations to all Puzzle Solvers of our August Issue! You've made a really good job on these!

Welcome to the Leaky Lounge Howler81, BewareoftheNargles, miche and luvpink!

Special congratulations go out to:
Bandersnatch for the first posted correct solution to the Rune Riddle and the Hidden Crossword Word!
Howler81 for the first posted correct solution to the Logic Riddle!

greatpetie83 also solved the Rune Riddle correctly,
BewareoftheNargles, Hermy-one Pince, luvpink (and Bandersnatch) also solved the Logic Riddle correctly.

miche - you're posted solution to the crossword is mostly correct, with just two things amiss (whereof one probably is a mistype).

Down 12 (J-M) is a letter too long in your reply, the last 's' shouldn't be there. I assume a mistype in reprinting the solution here.

Down 1 (H-M), however, is wrong. But all the crossing words' letters are still correct, so you've had really bad luck in finding a different character that fits in the grid! Check out the spoiler text below, by highlighting it with your mouse:

The correct answer is:
S lughorn
P
R emembrall
O
U npack
T

We learn from as early as in GOF that Professor Sprout has told fake Moody that Neville was "really good at Herbology". At this point in time I don't think Sirius have even met Neville?

Sorry! I'm glad to see you found it funny and that you and others seem to have been able to solve it anyway. Thanks for letting us know!

Finally, a word or two on spoiler tags:

To our newcommers: When you post a solution to a puzzle, we have a useful feature here called a 'spoiler tag'. It's a courtasy to anyone who has not yet solved it but happens to look at the thread.If you check your answer out now, you can see what it does. One of the LL moderators have been kind enough to hide your answer with it. This way those who haven't got the solution yet, but happens to look at the thread, can avoid seeing it. To read it you have to highlight the solution. You achieve this by typing

[_spoiler]logic reply[/_spoiler] (but without the underscore '_', replace '_spoiler' with 'spoiler' in the tags) which gives this result:

logic reply.

For some reason, Firefox users seems to be able to see "through" spoiler tags at the moment, so that's why you had to wait so long to get your solutions corrected.

I think I've also solved the sudoku but as I haven't solved the cipher above I'll just describe the symbols.

The First is a coloured in diamond.
The second is a weird z that ends in a squiggly thing.
The third looks like the head of an ant i.e. a circle with two lines that look like antennae.
The fourth looks like an empty diamond with curved sides.
The fifth is basically just an x.

Prankster's Logic Puzzle in the October Quibbler:

Answer: the first to be Sorted was a wizard.

Explanation: Unless Hogwarts was accepting house-elves and trolls back in '89, the first to be Sorted was either a witch or a wizard. Since the twins make opposite claims about the initial Sortee's gender, one of the twins must be telling the truth. And since we are told that only one of the three pranksters tells the truth, Lee must certainly be lying. But if Lee lies when he says that George is lying, then in fact George must be telling the truth. So the first to be Sorted was, as George claims, a wizard.

Alternate Explanation: One can also simply consider each prankster as the lone truth-teller in turn -- in two cases, this leads to more than one person being truthful simultaneously, which is not allowed. To wit: if Fred tells the truth, then Lee would be lying when he says that George is lying, so George would in fact be telling the truth -- but that is impossible, since Fred and George can't both tell the truth. And if Lee is telling the truth when he says George is lying, then George would indeed be lying and the first to be Sorted would have been a witch -- but then Fred would be telling the truth in addition to Lee, so we have another impossibility. Therefore George must be the sole truth-teller, and a wizard was Sorted first. (In this case, Fred is lying since he claims the first-Sorted was a witch, and Lee is lying since he deceitfully claims that George is lying.)

ETA: Aha! Looking back at previous posts, I see that Fabian Prewett concurs! Cheers, FP!
