LOGIC

Five students entered a spelling bee. Can you work out which school they represented, whatvtheir last correct word was, and where the finished in the competition

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 the Oak Valley student placed first in the speling bee, 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.
