...Something's bothered me since the first book, and I hope someone has 
an answer.One of the puzzles was pure logic, the potions. Reading that, it took 
paper, pencil and fifteen minutes to see that the clues were 
consistent, and a bit longer to see that they were incomplete. The 
text didn't have enough clues. There had to be a diagram showing the 
heights of the bottles (or the shapes, I don't have the book here)....

Paula now:
Humm..., now you've got me really puzzled.  Seems like first time I read the American version, second time the British.  Unfortunately, don't have either one here now.  But I distinctly remember working out the puzzle as you said with pencil and paper, before reading the answer, and coming up with the right answer (Yes,  I'm a little nuts, I go in for things like this.).  What gives?  Must get my hands on one of the editions again.  By the way, American books are generally more illustrated than British.  And now that I think of it, seems like there was a diagram in the American version.
