| DavidW says, "yeah, ditto" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "We probably all should, yeah." | ||

| djfletch says, "yeah, it looks complicated enough that it's difficult to work without writing a bunch of stuff down somewhere" | ||

| Gerynar says, "I've opened a spreadsheet columns as houses, info in the rows down" | ||
| Gerynar says, "I suck at this kind of math/logic, I can't tell if there's 5 or 7 houses" | ||
| djfletch says, "I'm tempted to try and write code to brute force it" | ||
| Gerynar says, "nvm, just reread it...there's five" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "The only thing I know for sure so far is that the first house has a person named River, the second house is occupied by a Turk, and the third house if fuchsia." | ||

| Gerynar says, "that's why I've got a google docs spreadsheet" | ||
| DavidW says, "I just have graph paper." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Does 'neighbor' imply directly adjacent to, or ... like, I often thing of people nearby as neighbors." | ||
| DavidW says, "But it's been ages since I've done one of these." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Not necessarily my 'next-door neighbor'" | ||
| djfletch asks, "do Italian and Norwegian have to be in 4 and 5?" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to djf), "I don't think so, no." | ||
| DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "here it means adjacent." | ||
| djfletch says, "because Italian is Teal so can't be 3, and 2 is Turkish" | ||
| djfletch says, "so it looks like that's the only place they can fit and be adjacent" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "ah, okay." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "See, this is the talking through it bit I was hoping for." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Anyone see a counter argument to djf on that?" | ||
| DavidW says, "sorry, I can't really follow both computer and graph paper." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "np" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I wish there were more L and R as opposed to merely 'next to'" | ||
| ASchultz says, "I have to admit I want to see the source on this too" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, I don't know... does the source have to be very complimicated? It could be as simple as telling you your guess is correct or incorrect." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Or... do you think it generates something new every time?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "The latter would be cool, but I'm sure as hell not restarting to find out until we've guessed." | ||
| DavidW says, "I have Teal = Fessel = Chinese Room" | ||
| djfletch says, "I think "Shepherd is Galician" puts him in 3, because I have nationalities in 2, 4, 5, and River in 1" | ||

| Gerynar says, "the box in the center are the houses, the words outside the box are the traits (greyed means they've been used in the table)" | ||
| DavidW asks, "How do you have nationalities in 4 and 5?" | ||
| Gerynar says, "2. The person who is Italian is directly to the left of the person" | ||
| Gerynar says, "anyone should be able to edit as well" | ||
| DavidW says, "As far as I know so far, 3-4-5 can be either Gallatian-Italian-Norwegian or Italian-Norwegian-Gallatian." | ||
| djfletch says, "Italian is Teal, so can't be 3 which is Fuchsia" | ||
| DavidW says, "wait, I think I've goofed up. I don't know 3-4-5 that closely." | ||
| djfletch says, "it might be useful to list the rules we haven't used yet" | ||
| djfletch says, "I'll try and add that to the spreadsheet" | ||
| ASchultz says, "I think including a logic chart in-game would be awesome, though then it might not be 1-move" | ||
| DavidW says, "okay, so the 1-2-3-4-5 is Bulgarian-Turkish-Gall-Italian-Norwegian" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Yes." | ||
| Gerynar says, "second house has to be the navy house, because it's neighbor has to be white, and that's the only one that has an uncolored house" | ||
| DavidW says, "I'm not that far." | ||
| DavidW says, "I'm so out of practice." | ||
| ASchultz says, "ok, since we just filled in 5=black, 5=moriarty by the a17 clue, I think" | ||
| ASchultz says, "Also since smith likes dancing he can't be in house #2. So he must be in 4." | ||
| DavidW says, "I have teal in 4th house." | ||
| djfletch says, "wait, something is wrong, Navy should be with Curses" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I feel good about the fourth house being teal, yeah." | ||
| DavidW says, "ack. I just realized my chart is whack." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "meh I hate when that happens." | ||
| ASchultz says, "also FWIW I check off on the nationalities and house orders" | ||
| djfletch says, "colossal cave is supposed to be next to white, but isn't just now" | ||
| Gerynar says, "blue/bold is what we think is correct (river has to be the first name and fuschia has to be the center color)" | ||
| djfletch says, "if white is correct in 1, then 2 must be colossal cave and then can't be navy" | ||
| DavidW says, "It would help if I had an eraser that worked." | ||

| Gerynar says (to ASchults,), "you need to share the document" | ||
| ASchultz says, "ah, sorry about that" | ||
| ASchultz says, "there we go" | ||
| ASchultz says, "hold it 1 sec need to switch the columns, ugh" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I think what's going to help me most is a lemonade and some faux chicken nuggets." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "So I'll go work on that." | ||
| ASchultz says, "I'm not sure the best way to do this. I'm filling in stuff now, but I don't know how to write out my reasoning in the space I have" | ||
| djfletch asks, "what was wrong with Violet in 1? From rule 8?" | ||
| Gerynar says, "just put it back" | ||
| Gerynar says, "re-reading the clues" | ||
| DavidW says, "okay, I don't have the complete table yet, but I think I know who the woodworking guy is." | ||
| djfletch says, "ok - you also get juggling in 2, from rule 4" | ||
| Jacqueline asks (of DW), "oho?" | ||
| djfletch says, "I work out that moriaty/black and curses/navy can both either be in 2 or 5" | ||
| djfletch says, "therefore, 1 is white" | ||
| DavidW says, "I have 1) River/Bulg/white/Violet, 2) Moriarty/Turkish/black/juggling/Colossal Cave, 3) Shepherd/Gall/fuchsia/Aotearoa, 4) Fessel/Italian/teal/woodworking/Chinese Room, 5) Smith/Norwegian/navy/dancing/Curses" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I am going to laugh if we could have examined the houses and seen their color." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "We haven't even tried to fail. Not a single move." | ||
| DavidW says, "anyway, I'm saying Fessel is our man." | ||
| ASchultz says, "heh, good one about examining the houses" | ||
| DavidW says, "(also, belatedly, River likes boating, and Shepherd likes camping)" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "May I examine the first house to see if it gives us clues? Or should we just figure out how to say that we think it's Fessel?" | ||
| djfletch says, "give me a couple of minutes to check my logic too" | ||
| DavidW says, "I think >FESSEL." | ||
| ASchultz says, "I'll plow through once more too but don't wait up" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to djf), "I'm cool with that. Let us know when you're ready." | ||
| Gerynar concurres (and he's not saying that because he's getting all turned around) | ||
| djfletch says, "ok, I think I agree with DavidW's solution" | ||
| djfletch says, "plus 1 boating, 2 juggling, 3 camping" | ||
| DavidW says, "yes" | ||
