Note: My grandma is a little odd. She only likes certain things. Solve this puzzle by providing phrases that are true. For example: Grandma likes A but not B

  • Grandma likes coffee but not tea.
  • Grandma likes fall but not autumn.
  • Grandma likes seconds but not minutes.
  • Grandma likes dark but not light.
  • Grandma likes one but not two.
  • Grandma likes false but not true.
