He took part in five races at a meeting last Saturday, riding a horse of a different colour in each one, and he pre- dicted in a television interview the day before that he was going to ride five win- ners. He couldn’t have been more wrong; in the end, not one of his five mounts finished in the top three, and poor Rory was left with egg on his face. Using the following clues, can you match each race with its starting time, and with the name, colour and finishing place of the horse Rory Sadler rode in it? 1 Rory and the black horse he was riding cantered home in eighth and last place in one of the five races; earlier in the afternoon than that, the jockey had also failed toliveuptohis z eek own expectations when he competed on a bay BPS 8 3 z < s horse. eseigntiselics ie SSseirpatPeisexz > 2 It was in the 3.45 that SGaaorlaasosl2i aga Rory's mount was the aptly 215 named Slowcoach. 245 3 The white horse the jockey 318 was paired in the 2.45 did not 3.45 finish in fifth place. 7 4 Inthe 3.15, Sadler found ae himself riding the favourite, Fourth but still only managed to finish Fifth sixth. ‘sixth 5 Plodding Boy did not run in Seventh the first of the five races. ed 6 Both Backmarker, which Bay finished in seventh place, and Black the chestnut horse called The on Laggard were ridden by Rory estat in races that started after 3.00 Grey in the afternoon.

Here are some basic rules that will help get you started. 1. Complete 1001010aB001 Since you already found all zeros, you can complete this row with two ones. So A= 1 and B=I. 2. Look for duos A008 Whenever you find duos of the same umber, either next to or under each other, you can write the other number in the adjacent boxes. So A= 1and B= 3. Avold trios OAo To avoid trios, write the other number between two equal numbers. So A=. ‘4, No double rows or columns 01100101AB01 011001010101 In this case A= 1 and B= 0, otherwise you would have a double row. '5. Eliminate impossible situations Here are some examples: 0110010ABCDO In this example we can only write one O in the four empty boxes (A-D). The 0 cannot be on A or D because that would result in a trio of ones. So A= 1and D=1, O1ABCDIOEFI In this situation you only need two more ones. E or F must contain a1 otherwise you will create a trio of zeros. In other words, you can only write one 1 in the series A-D. Now use the rule above and you'll notice that A= O and D= 0. OO10ABCDEFGO Here you need to find two zeros and five ones. That is only possible in three ways: 1101101 1101011 1010 So you are sure that A=1, D= and Ga.

It was Monday afternoon and he was trying to get straight in his mind who would be working the lunchtime shift each day for the rest of the week. ‘I’ve already explained it twice,’ sighed his wife, Helen, who had organised the details that morning. ‘We’ve got one man and one woman behind the bar each day, and nobody's working more than one lunchtime this week. We've also got a different special dish on the menu each day, so make sure we’ve got all the ingredients ordered’. Using the following clues, can you help Harvey to fill in his rota, identifying the man and woman who will be serving behind the bar each lunchtime and determining what special dish will be on each day’s menu? 1 ‘Colin and Ji will be working together one lunchtime,’ said Helen, ‘but not on Wednesday’. 2 ‘Iremember you saying that Michael's doing Thursday lunchtime’, said Harvey, ‘but that's not when Catol’s here, because | know she'll be behind the bar when the mixed grill is dish of the day’ 3 ‘Cod and chips is Friday's special,’ said Helen, ‘and you might recall which two will be working here then, because you commented a minute ago that they have the same first- name initial as one another’. 4 ‘Right’, said Harvey, ‘it's coming back to me now, and Belinda’s working at lunchtime on Tuesday, so I'l write that cottage pie is dish of the day when he’s doing his lunchtime shift’, said Helen, ‘because he always enjoys tucking small helping of it during his break’. 6 ‘Well, | know that Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Cod and chips Cottage pie Lasagne Mixed grill Vegetable curry Brian Coli Darren John Michael Donna Julie Belinda Carol Marie Cod and chips Cottage pie Lasagne Mixed gril Vegetable curry Belinda Carol Donna Julie Marie vegetable curry isn't Day Man Woman Dish Saturday's special,’ said Harvey, ‘so I've now got the entire rota filled in’, 90 RrraBackwords mu Cross through some of the squares in a diagonally symmetrical pattern to make a completed crossword that matches the clues given.
