    Had to do this for school, though some of you might like things like this.

    Puzzle:

    You are facing a closed garage containing four cars parked side-by-side. Using the information below, determine the order in which the cars are parked, as well as the make, year, and color of each car and the state in which it is licensed.

    1. The Rambler has a Pennsylvania License.
    2. The yellow car has an Ohio license.
    3. The Buick is next to the Plymouth.
    4. The car with the New York license is parked between the 1971 and 1979 models.
    5. The 1971 model is blue.
    6. The Plymouth is on the right (as you face the cars).
    7. The red car has a California license.
    8. The Ford is next to the Rambler.
    9. The car from Pennsylvania is not parked next to the car from Ohio.
    10. The Ford is green.
    11. The Plymouth was built in 1960.
    12. The 1979 model has a California license.

    My Result:

    To solve this I read through the given hints multiple times and simply tried to match up information. In the end I was able to position all of the cars; however I ran into an issue with their only being three years mentioned. I am unsure how to go about retrieving the last year.

    I've always loved logic puzzles, though I am normally pretty bad at them. I have a small fuzzy book of them in my backpack which normally comes with me everywhere.
