Search for this game in connection with its publisher "The Learning
Company". The had at least two games: "Gertrude's Puzzles" and
"Gertrude's Secret".

The manual for Puzzles can be viewed / downloaded here:
www.education.miami.edu/blantonw/5dclhse/artifacts/task_cards/pdf/brain_gyms/gertrudes_puzzles.pdf

The C64 versions of Puzzles and Secrets can be found here:

and
http://www.gb64.com/search.php?a=5&f=2&id=39&d=18&h=0&p=208

According to the faq they are on the 'Asimov Want List' so its
possible that there aren't any Apple disk images yet.
