Talk:A Knight to Remember (Two of Clubs)/@comment-76.247.23.20-20150917173427

This took me way longer than it should have to figure out, and I'm not sure why. I found clue four EXTREMELY confusing, but I believe the puzzle is solvable without it.

However, and I don't think this is spoiling anything, what the clue means is that Gaston and the dapple rider advanced to the semis (at least). The chestnut rider either didn't make it to the semis, or it made it to the semis and both Gaston and the dapple rider made it to the finals. The chestnut rider was in the fourth joust - we don't know from this clue where Gaston and dapple were.

Clue 4 is confusing because I initially thought it meant that Gaston and dapple outlasted the chestnut rider in the fourth joust itself, which is impossible unless Gaston IS the dapple rider. Then I thought it was implying that Gaston and dapple were in the same joust, which went longer (more passes) than chestnut's joust... maybe the joust prelims were running concurrently? (No to all of these.)

Anyway, this could have been worded so much better, so I hope the explanation above helps.
