Conundrum: Venn I’m 64

In a Venn Diagram puzzle, there are three overlapping circles, marked A, B, and C. Each circle has a different rule about who or what can go inside. The challenge is to guess the rule for each circle. You can find a more detailed explanation of Venn Diagram puzzles, along with an example, here.

Each of the eight titles below refers to a Beatles song.

UPDATE: Rather than solving the rules, feel free to suggest additional Beatles songs and where they would belong in the diagram.

    Lovely, Bill.

    May I add “I Am the Walrus” to Circle A exclusively, “Can’t Buy Me Love” to Circle B exclusively, and “From Me to You” to Circle C exclusively?

    Ken

  2. Bill Says:

    Ken, correct on all three!

    Rather than solving, would anyone else like to add Beatles songs to the chart?

    You can either use Ken’s scheme of describing the circles, tell us which songs your songs will be joining, or use the numbers.

    ok here goes…circle A: I’m Only Sleeping, circle B & C: Love You To (if i’m allowed to combine tor the two)

  4. Bill Says:

    Cynthia,

    Both are correct!

    And yes, feel free to add to any of the eight sections of the diagram.

    I will add “Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite” to Section 8 and “You Know My Name, Look Up the Number” to Section 4. Section numbers here.

  5. DeLisa Says:

    Can I add She Loves You to Section 6? I Want to Hold Your Hand to Section 1?

  6. Bill Says:

    Hmmm…

    I’ll go along with both of those, yes.

    Well done!

  7. Annalisa Says:

    I Dig a Pony – Section 1

  8. Bill Says:

    Well, you can celebrate anything you want…

    Because that’s correct!

    Alright, as the resident music anorak, I’ll choose mine from the unofficial canon:

    Circle A, exclusively: I’ll Be on My Way
    Circle B, exclusively: Love of the Loved
    Circle C, exclusively: You’ll Know What to Do

  10. Andrew Says:

    Circle A: Lonesome Tears In My “Eyes”
    Circle B: All of Me (focus on “l-of”)
    Circle C: Across the You-niverse
