	nice even though i couldnt do it

	pigheaded1:	Dec 5th, 2012 at 15:34 GMT		9 points
	I may be wrong, but I believe the solution requires you to guess whether Chris is a boy or a girl. I suggest you change that name to one that is not ambiguous. Of course, I may have missed a logical step. I enjoyed the quiz.

	NYYanks:	Dec 5th, 2012 at 15:49 GMT		3 points
	^^ I normally think of Chris as a boy, but I will change it anyway.

	The three letter kids got coal is a clue. I typed in coal for Joe and boom I lost....

	Catherine_F:	Dec 5th, 2012 at 16:07 GMT		-2 points
	I ended up guessing at the end because I was almost out of time (and luckily for me I guessed right) but what tells you that Richard received coal and not Mike?

	NYYanks:	Dec 5th, 2012 at 16:14 GMT		7 points
	@gunthie It says THREE 3-letter kids @catherine look at ryan and lisa's clue

	eggnog:	Dec 5th, 2012 at 17:54 GMT		9 points
	Good quiz. Harder than I thought it would be. I would change Kelly's name as it is either a male's or female's name. Something like Miranda is less ambiguous. Was it the point of the game to back into Matt and Mike's gift? They were my last two people. You know Matt receives an electronic gift and Tom says Ryan didn't get the computer. I wasn't sure this meant there absolutely was a computer given out. The same for Lauren saying Don didn't get the watch. It turns out there is a watch by putting it in Mike's spot, but it seems more of a guess that there could be a watch. I'd change Lauren's to, "There is a watch, but Don did not receive it". Mike's clue will then automatically reveal that Matt received the computer.

	some of these kids have mean parents lol

	mcbain:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 05:49 GMT		11 points
	The clues seem ambiguous to me. Is coal an "item"? Is "electronics" an item that I would type in, or does it refer to the phone and the TV? Same goes for "clothes" - is that a category of item that includes shoes and hat, or is it its own name for a gift?

	NYYanks:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 11:36 GMT		3 points
	^^I understand what you mean. I made it more clear now.

	alastor:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 13:38 GMT		4 points
	A couple of corrections: "Everyone who received clothes IS in the same row" and "All of the kids who received shoes are adjacent to ONE another". And you should clarify that coal is not an "item" (presumably, judging by Don's clue).

	dollymix:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 14:04 GMT		5 points
	I assumed that a watch was considered electronics (maybe that's cause I grew up in the 80s) - could you replace it with something less ambiguous, maybe a skateboard?

	rszbdx:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 15:38 GMT		6 points
	I assumed that since a skateboard was mentioned but not used by the time I was down to the last kid, it went in that place, but when I typed it in, the quiz didn't accept it. I even tried typo-ed versions of it. Did I just start the quiz in the middle of an edit? If not, please review that particular square. Thanks! I also agree with eggnog's suggestion regarding the wording, and you may want to make the squares bigger before the clues appear to avoid messing up the rows when the text expands the boxes (add additional line breaks in the "name" boxes).

	MattCortese:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 16:00 GMT		2 points
	I did enjoy this quiz, it was tougher than I thought it would be. The only problem was that you changed Lauren's clue to skateboard, but did not change Mike's answer. You still have to enter "watch" to finish it. Other than that tiny error it was a great quiz.

	NYYanks:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 16:47 GMT		1 point
	^^You guys probably played in the middle of an edit because I changed it right away. Sorry about that!

	TheReaver88:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 16:51 GMT		15 points
	I'm typing "coal" for don, and nothing happens. Anyone else having that issue?

	DanteJones:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 17:33 GMT		5 points
	Reaver - I'm having the same problem

	heftoles14:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 17:34 GMT		5 points
	I agree with TheReaver88. I tried coal for Don too and it wouldn't take it. Could you please fix that NYYanks? Thanks.

	NYYanks:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 18:28 GMT		3 points
	Oh when I edited it i must have forgot to accept coal. I fixed it now.

	NYYanks:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 19:18 GMT		2 points
	If this happened to anyone, I encourage you to try it again.

	samkrum:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 22:30 GMT		9 points
	Isn't a movie an electronic?

	NYYanks:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 22:46 GMT		0 points
	^ A movie itself is not an electronic. Watching a movie though uses electronics. But a disk is not an electronic.

	bmo1616:	Dec 6th, 2012 at 23:44 GMT		6 points
	The people with shoes are not all adjacent to each other, you should say that they form a chain instead. Tom is not adjacent with Sarah for example.

	hellofromUK:	Dec 7th, 2012 at 12:03 GMT		6 points
	Started the game and first 8 kids all got coal. I thought wow the recession has hit home really hard! Great quiz, enjoyed it very much, 5 globes. How about giving the 20 min maximum time as is standard with these logic puzzles?

	TheCleverone:	Dec 7th, 2012 at 20:51 GMT		6 points
	What with energy prices rising and resources lowering, I personally think that coal is a great gift and an excellent investment!

	megster_ftw:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 00:13 GMT		2 points
	finally i got through one of these on my first try! :D

	gurl94:	Dec 8th, 2012 at 00:31 GMT		6 points
	I still think the shoe chain thing is not clear.

	tomibran:	Dec 9th, 2012 at 17:13 GMT		-2 points
	i really am highly confused, what are the options to type in? I start with Mark, who says Karen and helen received coal, and Helen says Don received it...thats all i get what are the options to type in?

	NYYanks:	Dec 9th, 2012 at 17:33 GMT		1 point
	^^ The options will be revealed as you move further on in the quiz.

	iknow:	Dec 9th, 2012 at 19:12 GMT		4 points
	I enjoyed this quiz! Challenging but definitely solvable. 5 globes!

	t_brown6512:	Dec 9th, 2012 at 21:50 GMT		9 points
	One of the clues says Amy has one diagonal with a person who received coal. Her only direct diagonals are Paul and Joe, neither who received coal. Does this mean diagonals all the way across, rather than just adjacent diagonals?

	NYYanks:	Dec 9th, 2012 at 21:58 GMT		1 point
	Shares a diagonal means all the way across

	madamesintax:	Dec 10th, 2012 at 21:32 GMT		0 points
	A little more instruction at the beginning would be helpful. I felt like I went into the quiz blindly. Otherwise, great quiz! Very fun and festive! (Except for all the kids who received coal.)

	CorellonL:	Dec 11th, 2012 at 04:51 GMT		7 points
	The "chain" for the kids with the shoes is extremely unclear. Please provide an explanation for that.

	shakescene:	Dec 11th, 2012 at 07:31 GMT		-1 points
	On a small screen, the children's white names on red come out very faintly. I had to zoom in a couple of times. Perhaps Sporcle's programs might let you put those names in boldface; if not, maybe you could put the in CAPITAL LETTERS (or red on white, rather than vice-versa).

	shakescene:	Dec 11th, 2012 at 07:34 GMT		3 points
	I got thrown by that "shares a diagonal" myself because the instructions had said that diagonally adjacent squares touch. Maybe some phrase like "lies on the same diagonal with only one other child who got coal" might be clearer.

	Triffid:	Dec 11th, 2012 at 12:18 GMT		-2 points
	I gave up on this earlier because there were so many points of confusion. Most of this seems to have been cleared up, but I still found it a bit confusing. And why COAL for heavens sake? For some reason I found that rather off-putting. Could you not say, for instance, book or candy? (I would have said chocolate but short words are better when you have to type in the whole word)

	NYYanks:	Dec 11th, 2012 at 16:07 GMT		3 points
	^^ Because the naughty kids are known to get coal for Christmas

	brez002:	Dec 11th, 2012 at 17:17 GMT		2 points
	I figured what "chain" meant, but you should still try to make that clearer. Maybe "a chain of adjacent kids received shoes" or something.

	IronDragline:	Dec 11th, 2012 at 21:48 GMT		-1 points
	Got 28/30, knew Matt and Mike got presents, (and that Matt got electronics), but found no clues to signify what those presents might be.
