Go to this web site, scroll up a page to the beginning of Chapter 13, and read about how a brick influenced a member of The Salvation Army movement.

Nice solve!

Well done, Ron! How the red solved and the logic in the middle made for a fun challenge. And the story is so interesting. This is one I hadn't heard before. A puzzle that tells a story always gets more points from me.

Nice challenge. But why is it marked as moderate lookahead? It is definitely solvable by logic alone. I was really stubborn, never used the obvious guesses, and I got it pretty straight-forward. Did not backtrack at all.

Moderate lookahead IS logic alone, without backttracking.
