Exercises
In the questions below, try to find the answers by using logic grid tables. Each table starts with blank boxes. Put an X in the boxes that you know are not true. Put an O in the boxes that might be true for that clue. Since each answer can only be used once in any given puzzle, you can X the other answers in that category.
Continue doing this for every clue you're given. You should be able to figure out the answers for each puzzle.
Question 1
X-planes are used to test how new airplane designs will fly. Each type of plane has a maximum speed of sonic (speed of sound), supersonic (between Mach 1 and Mach 5), or hypersonic (more than Mach 5).

Clue 1: The X-43 holds the record for the fastest plane.
Clue 2: The X-15 can fly faster than the X-1.
