So What does Rick have to say about the Puzzle?

This puzzle was extremely difficult. I literally had to develop a new skill to figure out how to solve the puzzle. 

Let's just say I was pretty skeptical that my new trick would work, but I had exhausted all my traditional ways of solving logic puzzles.

For example, my "truth chart" where you X-out the various incorrect possibilities wasn't yielding me any new answers.  There were too many open spots left to make any conclusions.

So in other words I was stuck on my third try.  It was time for something new.  To my astonishment, once I tried my new trick, it worked like a charm.  If you would like a hint on how I solved it, click here.

In conclusion, I would have to say this ranks in the top ten for toughest logic puzzles I have ever solved. More than likely you will simply have to plod along until you get it.
