CLUES

HOW TO SOLVE

Read the clues and place a tick in an intersecting box if you have any positive

information and use a cross if you have any definite negative information. For example,

you learn that Janis married Andrew, so we have placed some ticks and crosses in the

grid to help you along. Using this method you should be able to fill in the smaller grid.

CLUES

1 Janis married Andrew.

2 David married Bunderella in spring

in a state capital.

3 Edith married Daniel in a location

north of Sydney, but not on the

east coast.

4 Janis got hitched on the first

day of winter.
