So my friend Petey has gotten into a series of logic puzzles and brain teasers lately. And when I couldn't sleep last night, I tried this one. Took me about 20 minutes. If you try this one, and want the answer, whether or not you finish it, IM me. Please don't post your answer, as I don't want to spoil it for others. However, feel free to post your reaction (so long as it doesn't contain puzzle spoilers!)
