Today’s a big family reunion for the 20 members of the Smith family! To celebrate, they are taking a group photo, lining up in four neat rows of five people each. Nobody is standing next to, in front of, or behind another person of the same gender. Can you figure out who is standing in which spot, based on each of their statements? Then, you’ll be able to figure out what the family plans to do together after the photo is taken–and where.

Wow, it’s the final puzzle of Season Three! To celebrate, you’re invited to the Texas Highland Lakes for the end-of-season Mission Street Puzzles Music Festival. We’ve got a great lineup for you, all up and down the seven lakes, and many of the 53 performers (like E and A) can be found in multiple acts. Based on the list of band names and logos, can you figure who is in each band and where on the river each of them is playing?

Note: Mission Street Puzzles’ interactive puzzles are best viewed in the Chrome browser.

Want to get involved? We’d love your help to make Season Four a success!

Woody, Sulley, Nemo, Bob, Remy, and Carl are going to the movies this afternoon to see their favorite movies–starring themselves, of course! Help them find out which movie is playing in which theater, and then watch the short clip below to discover where they plan to grab a bite after.

Movie theater floor plan:

All movies are the first or only one in their franchise. The movie in Theatre #3 has only two movies in its franchise. None of the theatre numbers match the last digit of the release year of the movie. Movies without any sequels or prequels are in even-numbered theaters. The movies where the main protagonist is a real animal are in horizontally adjacent theaters. Every movie on the left side is older than every movie on the right side.
