The man with 9 nieces and 6 nephews
isnt Mr Grainger (clue 4), Mr Venner
(clue 1) or Mr Harte (2), so Mr Thorpe.
He isnt 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

and 8 nephews. Patrick is Mr Harte
(2). Norman isnt Mr Venner (1), so his
surname is Grainger and Ronnies is
Venner.
Thus (nieces - nephews):
Norman - Grainger - 7 - 5;
Patrick - Harte - 8 - 7;
Ronnie - Venner - 6 - 8;

Brendas news was her pregnancy
(clue 1). Matthews wasnt about
graduation or a new home (clue 2),
so his engagement. Matthew wrote
the letter (2). Tuesdays news was
told in person, but not by Brenda or
Jeff (3), so Tina. The email wasnt
sent by Brenda or Tina (1), so by Jeff.
By elimination, Brenda made the
phone call. Jeffs news wasnt of the
graduation (1), so a new home, and
Tinas was of the graduation. The
email came on Wednesday (1). The
phone call wasnt made on Friday (3),
so Thursday. Fridays news came by
letter.
Thus:
Tuesday - in person - Tina graduation;
Wednesday - email - Jeff - new home;
Thursday - phone call - Brenda pregnancy;

Desmond ordered sorbet (clue 1).
Eileen didnt order cheesecake (clue
3). Nor, since she received ice cream
(3), did she order ice cream. Thus
Eileen ordered apple pie. So Ginas
table number was one higher than
Eileens (2), thus Gina didnt order
cheesecake (3). By elimination, Gina
ordered ice cream and Frederick
ordered cheesecake. Table 4 wasnt
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). Fredericks
order of cheesecake was thus
received by Gina. Frederick received
the sorbet.
Thus (ordered - received):
Desmond - table 4 - sorbet - apple pie;
Eileen - table 2 - apple pie - ice cream;
Frederick - table 1 - cheesecake sorbet;
Gina - table 3 - ice cream cheesecake.

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
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;
Vernon - 6 - 8 - 9.

Ticket 008 wasnt pink (clue 1), yellow

a pen. Ticket 054 wasnt pink (1) or
white (2), so yellow and Andrea had
008. Ticket 146 didnt win the clock

didnt 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). Karens ticket
was pink (1), so Wendys was white.

Andrea - 008 - green - pen;
Karen - 146 - pink - cake;
