The man with 9 nieces and 6 nephews
isn’t Mr Grainger (clue 4), Mr Venner
(clue 1) or Mr Harte (2), so Mr Thorpe.
19 He isn’t Patrick (1), Ronnie (2) or
Norman (3), so Theo. By elimination,
Norman has 7 nieces and 5 nephews
(3), so Patrick has 8 nieces and 7
nephews (1), thus Ronnie has 6 nieces
and 8 nephews. Patrick is Mr Harte
(2). Norman isn’t Mr Venner (1), so his
surname is Grainger and Ronnie’s is
Venner.
Thus (nieces - nephews):
Norman - Grainger - 7 - 5;
Patrick - Harte - 8 - 7;
Ronnie - Venner - 6 - 8;
Theo - Thorpe - 9 - 6.

20
C – The spiral turns the opposite way
from the others.

The person who spent 2½ hours in
the library isn’t Judy (clue 2), Lionel
or Trish (clue 3), so Martin. The one
who spent 3 hours in the library isn’t
55 Judy (2), so Trish (3) and Lionel was
there for 3½ hours. Judy was there
for 4 hours, so Trish studied politics.
Judy studied coins (2). Martin arrived
at 9.00am (3), so he studied butterflies
(1) and Lionel arrived at 9.30am and
studied flags. Trish arrived at 9.15am
(2) and Judy at 8.45am.
Thus:
Judy - 8.45am - 4 hours - coins;

Martin - 9.00am - 2½ hours -

Trish - 9.15am - 3 hours - politics.

The men holding the ace and/or 3
of spades aren’t Simon (clue 3) or
Damian (clue 4). Henry hasn’t the ace
of spades (1), so he has the 3 and
127 George has the ace. The man with the
7 of hearts has the 3 of clubs (1) and

George (above). Damian has the 5 of


spades (2) and Henry has the queen
of clubs. By elimination, Simon has the

clubs (3). Simon has the 4 of hearts.


Simon has the 7 of clubs (3) and
George has the 5 of clubs. Henry has
the king of hearts (6) and George has
the 9 of hearts.
Thus (club - heart - spade):
Damian - 3 - 7 - 5;
George - 5 - 9 - A;
Henry - Q - K - 3;
128
Simon - 7 - 4 - J.
A – In each horizontal row, the left
hexagon and centre hexagon are
superimposed to make the right
hexagon.

(clue 1). Matthew’s wasn’t about
graduation or a new home (clue 2),
so his engagement. Matthew wrote
163 the letter (2). Tuesday’s news was
told in person, but not by Brenda or
Jeff (3), so Tina. The email wasn’t
sent by Brenda or Tina (1), so by Jeff.
By elimination, Brenda made the

H W U M D K B O X D J Q G Desmond ordered sorbet (clue 1).
Eileen didn’t order cheesecake (clue
3). Nor, since she received ice cream
(3), did she order ice cream. Thus
199 Eileen ordered apple pie. So Gina’s
table number was one higher than
Eileen’s (2), thus Gina didn’t order
cheesecake (3). By elimination, Gina
ordered ice cream and Frederick
ordered cheesecake. Table 4 wasn’t
taken by Gina (2), Frederick or Eileen
(3 and above), so Desmond. Frederick
had table 1, Eileen had table 2 (3)
and Gina had table 3 (2). Desmond
received apple pie (2). Frederick’s
order of cheesecake was thus
received by Gina. Frederick received
the sorbet.
Thus (ordered - received):
200 Desmond - table 4 - sorbet - apple pie;
Eileen - table 2 - apple pie - ice cream;
E – The design round the top
Frederick - table 1 - cheesecake -
should consist entirely of diamond
sorbet;
shapes, as in F and J. In E one
Gina - table 3 - ice cream -
of the diamonds has become a
cheesecake.

H C D Y A L Q I F M M F H Remember throughout that each man
has three different quantities (intro).
Thus the man with 7 old shirts has
10 odd socks (clue 2) and Fred has 9
235
odd socks. The man with 6 odd socks
has 8 old shirts (1) and Tony has 9 old
shirts, so (by elimination) Tony also
has 7 odd socks and Fred has 5 old
shirts. Thus Fred (9 odd socks, above)
has 10 torn trousers (1) and Tony has
11 torn trousers. The man with 8 old
shirts has 9 torn trousers and the one
with 8 torn trousers has 7 old shirts.
Marty has 7 old shirts (3) and Vernon
has 8 old shirts.
Thus (socks - shirts - trousers):
Fred - 9 - 5 - 10;
Marty - 10 - 7 - 8;
Tony - 7 - 9 - 11;
236 Vernon - 6 - 8 - 9.

in the same order.

or white (clue 2), so green and (3) won
a pen. Ticket 054 wasn’t pink (1) or
white (2), so yellow and Andrea had
271 008. Ticket 146 didn’t win the clock
(1) or the vase (4), so a cake. Wendy
didn’t win the cake (4), so Sharon
who won the vase had ticket 054
and Wendy had ticket 100 and (by
elimination) won the clock. Karen had
ticket 146 (cake, above). Karen’s ticket
was pink (1), so Wendy’s was white.
Thus:
Andrea - 008 - green - pen;
Karen - 146 - pink - cake;
Sharon - 054 - yellow - vase;
Wendy - 100 - white - clock.

The child who went on Monday isn’t
Ruth (clue 1), Patrick (clue 2) or Johnnie
307 (4), so Mary. Ruth went on Thursday
(1). The historical drama was seen on
Tuesday (1). The comedy wasn’t seen
on Wednesday or Thursday (4), so
Monday. Ruth was taken by her uncle
(4), so the aunt’s treat was on Tuesday
(2) and Patrick’s was on Wednesday.
Johnnie was thus taken by his aunt.
Ruth wasn’t taken by a brother (3), so
by her sister, and Patrick went with his
brother. Ruth chose the western (4), so

Thus:
Johnnie - Tuesday - aunt - historical;
Mary - Monday - uncle - comedy;

308 Ruth - Thursday - sister - western.
