Features of the Cards
Rules
The object of the game is to identify a 'set' of three
cards from 12 cards displayed. Each card has a variation of
the following four features:
(A) Color:
Each card is red, green, or purple.
(B) Symbol:
Each card contains ovals, squiggles, or diamonds.
(C) Number:
Each card has one, two, or three symbols.
(D) Shading: Each card is solid, open, or striped.
A 'Set' consists of three cards in which each feature is EITHER the
same on each card OR is different on each card. That is to say, any
feature in the 'Set' of three cards is either common to all three
cards or is different on each card.
For example, the following are 'Sets':
  
All three cards are red; all are ovals; all have two
symbols; and all have different shadings.
  
All have different colors; all have different symbols;
all have different numbers of symbols; and all have the same shading.
  
All have different colors; all have different symbols;
all have different numbers of symbols, and all have different shadings.
The following are not 'Sets':
  
All have different colors; all are diamonds; all have
one symbol; however, two are open and one is not.
  
All are squiggles; all have different shadings; all
have two symbols; however, two are red and one is not.
The Magic Rule
If two are... and one is not, then it is not
a 'Set'.
The Play
Twelve cards are displayed. From the twelve cards, you must find 6 sets. For each puzzle, you may reuse any of the 12 cards displayed as many times as needed to complete all 6 different sets. There are no more than 6 sets and no less. Each puzzle will have exactly 6 sets. Try to find the 6 sets in the lowest time possible.
