Futoshiki also known as "More or Less" is a logic puzzle with simple rules and challenging solutions.

The rules are simple.

You have to fill the grid with numbers so that: 
- The numbers are from 1 to the size of the grid i.e. 1 to 5 for a 5x5 puzzle. 
- Each row and column must contain only one instance of each number. 
- The numbers should satisfy the comparison signs - less than or greater than. 
- For bigger puzzles the letters (A,B,C etc.) follow after the number 9.

Such fancy attire for a tavern! *waggles*

It's logical to look your best no matter the circumstances.  *nods*

*Mashi twirls prettily and her dress poofs out around her*

There's nothing better than a dress that poofs.

Oh, it's so hard to pick!

Nynaeve is my all time fav, and I guess she is from the Two Rivers, so that works.

I love Nynaeve mostly because she fell in love with Lan.  *lol*  I love romance, and since they were the first on screen romance (besides the forced love between Rand and Egwene) I gravitated toward Lan and Nynaeve.  Apart from that, I love her tenacity.  Once she leaves the Two Rivers, she's scared but she never backs down.  I'm a pretty meek person, so I've always admired people who can speak their mind!

PUZZLE 2 (more math.....)

There are three letters in the word ten.

This is correct!  To get past the guard, you have to say the amount of letters in the number.

1 point for art336!

I've been meaning to highlight this craft for awhile.  For last year's JordanCon, I was very excited to finish my sul'dam dress.  It turned out beautiful, and I adore the silver lightning bolts.  But a sul'dam without a damane isn't complete.  So, with long-time Dragonmount member Hallia as a willing participant, I got to work on crafting a damane dress.

I started with four yards of a gray poplin folded in half.  This gave me 72 inches in height and 60 inches in length.  That's a great amount of material and the price for poplin is so reasonable!

With simplicity in mind, I wanted to do as little cutting and sewing as possible.  I cut the arms and sides with a single cut, then cut the neckline.

I added satin binding to the bottom hem and the sleeves.

The neckline gave me some trouble.  I started an elastic binding, but it bunched too weird, so I switched it for a ruffle.

And here we are at JordanCon!

Hallia was such a good damane!  And this was such a simple project.

PUZZLE 1:

A businessman, for personal reasons of his own, needs to gain access to a notorious but elusive thieves guild. After snooping around the city for a few days, he finally gets a tip about the location of the guild entrance down a dark alleyway.

After observing the entrance for about an hour, the businessman notices that the thieves seem to have some sort of passcode system using numbers. When someone approaches the door, they are given a number, and then they reply with a number.

The first person steps up, and the guard tells them "twelve," to which they respond "six." The person is admitted. A second person approaches the door, and the guard tells them "six," to which they reply "three." The second person is also admitted.

Convinced that he has cracked the code, the businessman approaches the door to the thieves guild, and the guard tells him "ten," to which he confidently replies "five." The guard immediately slams the door in the businessman's face, and a deadbolt slots into place.

What should the businessman have said?
