Cookie Challenge
Over Labor Day
weekend, the 52nd Annual Cookie Challenge was held by
the Tastefully
Sweet Bakery Shop. The Cookie
Challenge traditionally signaled the end of summer for
Millersville, but was also greeted with great enthusiasm
by the townspeople. Each year, the
town’s aspiring
bakers brought in their best-ever cookie recipes and on
Labor Day, the official Bake-off challenge was held,
complete with prizes awarded to the winners.
Dozens of cookies were made from the
ten finalist recipes and were open to all for judging.
The final four winners were determined by the official
judges of the event and a fifth prize was
awarded to
the favorite cookie chosen by the attending townspeople.
This year the favorite
cookie was not one of the four
contest winners, a phenomenon that seldom occurred.
Determine the full name of each cookie
challenge winner as well as the winning place and
type of cookie of each recipe.
Marion’s cookie, which wasn’t
oatmeal raisin, didn’t win first place. The person
whose
last name was Green submitted the
multigrain cookie recipe.
Charlie Stevens didn’t submit a chocolate chip cookie recipe.
The favorite cookie wasn’t
Eileen’s recipe. The fourth place winner wasn’t the
double
chocolate cookie.
The oatmeal raisin cookie beat
Elliot's cookie by one place. Ms. Stewart's cookie,
which wasn't chocolate chip, was voted the favorite
cookie of the event.
The person whose last name was
Crofter won second place, but not with a double
chocolate cookie. The white chocolate macadamia nut
cookie wasn't the first place
winner.
The oatmeal raisin cookie, which
wasn’t Eileen’s recipe, was made by the person
whose last name was Field. Sally’s cookie, which
wasn’t the multigrain, won third
place.
Here is a convenient table for recording your conclusions:
First Name | Last Name | Winning Place | Cookie Type |
Problem 2: Family Pets
Five
families in Alice’s neighborhood are leaving town for
the holidays; which is good news
for Alice since each
family has hired her to take care of their pet while
they’re gone. Alice
loves animals so she doesn’t mind
taking care of them and it gives her a little extra
spending
money for the holidays. As a result, she
always has someone’s pets to car for when holidays
come around.This time, she had five different
pets to care for, each at a different home located on a
different street.
Determine the last name of the families who hired her to take care of their pet, the street each lived on, the type of pet (cat or dog), and the pet’s name.
Here is a convenient table for recording your conclusions:
Last Name | Street | Cat / Dog | Pet's Name |
Problem 3: Putt-Putt
Jerry and
four friends spent yesterday afternoon playing miniature
golf. It was a gorgeous
day and the five friends had
a great time. Par for the course was 42 and all of them
had
decent scores at the end of the course. Each one
also got a hole-in-one at a different hole in
the
18-hole course.
Determine the full name of each friend, what their final score for the course was (38 to 46), and at what hole each got their hole-in-one.
Hint: In golf, a lower score is better than a high
score. The goal is to make the course par or
lower.
Here is a convenient table for recording your conclusions:
First Name | Last Name | Final Score | Hole-in-One Hole |
Problem 4: Movie Night
Elliot was
pleased to note that there were a number of new movies
releasing this month that
he really wanted to see.
Since he hated going to the movies alone, he checked
with his
friends and several expressed an interest in
joining him. Although each of his friends wanted
to
see just one of the movies on his list, they’d
conveniently all picked different movies so he
had
all of his selections covered.They went to see the
movies in the evening the week after the movie released.
The day of the week varied however depending upon the
schedules of the friend joining him.
Determine the title and release date of each movie that Elliot went to see (one release date was January 23rd), the day of the week that they went to see each movie, and the name of the friend who went with Elliot each week.
Here is a convenient table for recording your conclusions:
Movie Title | Release Date | Day of Week | Friend's Name |
Problem 5: Travel Plans
Greg
travelled a lot for work. This month, his travel plans
included five stops in both
international and US
locations. Unfortunately, fortune didn’t favor him this
month. Between
missed flights, flight delays, bad
weather, and unscheduled landings, his trip took him
almost
a week longer. While he still visited all of
the same cities, his scheduled visits ended up being
very different for the original flight plan. His luggage
even beat him home!
Determine the order of his original flight schedule,
the order of his actual schedule, and the
unplanned
cities where he ended up staying overnight between
flights.
Here is a convenient table for recording your conclusions:
Flight Order | Orig Flight Plan Dest | Actual Flight Plan Dest | Layover City |
Problem 6: Auto Race
Larry and
four friends went to the racetrack to witness the big
car race held this past
weekend. Five different
contenders sped their way around the track to victory,
or defeat. The
race ended with no major crashes and
an exciting dead heat to the finish line. The five
friends
had such a good time that they made
arrangements right on the spot to return the following
month for the next big race.
Determine the full name of each driver in the race,
the sponsor for each race car, and in what
position
each driver ended the race.
Here is a convenient table for recording your conclusions:
First Name | Last Name | Sponsor | Final Position |
Problem 7: Xmas Puzzles
Mary had
five friends who were avid jigsaw puzzlers. So for
Christmas, she got each one a
new jigsaw puzzle. The
puzzles were all different in size and each one had a
different design
that she carefully selected to match
the interests of each person. Each friend was delighted
with her gift and declared that Mary’s present was their
favorite of all.
Determine the full name of each friend (one last name
was Tawny), the design of each jigsaw
puzzle (one
design was a winter scene), and the number of pieces
each puzzle contained.
Here is a convenient table for recording your conclusions:
First Name | Last Name | Design | Number of Pieces |
Problem 8: English Quiz
Thursday
morning the students of Redwood High School walked into
their English class to be
greeted by a pop quiz. The
quiz was on this week’s twenty vocabulary words. Alice
and her
friends did all right on the quiz. They each
made a complete guess on one of the definitions
and
were quite surprised to find out that their guess was
right.
Determine the full name of Alice and her friends, how many words each missed, and what word each guessed correctly.
Here is a convenient table for recording your conclusions:
First Name | Last Name | Words Missed | Guessed Word |
Problem 9: Conference Lodging
Five people fly into town to attend a conference.
Unfortunately, hotel space for the
conference had
filled up fast so even though they’re from the same
company, the five ended
up in different hotels. The
good news is that the hotels were all within walking
distance of the
convention center where the
conference was being held. The odd thing about the
hotels
where they stayed is that all were
individually-owned, rather than part of corporate
chains.
However, each was still a very well-rated and
successful business.
Determine the full name
of each person, the name
of the hotel each stayed at, and the hotel’s rating.
Here is a convenient table for recording your conclusions:
First Name | Last Name | Hotel | Rating |
Problem 10: Rugged Cleaning
When
I needed the name of a good rug cleaner, I turned for
advice to my friend Helga, who owns a sizable collection
of valuable rugs. She told me that over the years she
has enjoyed the services of five local rug-cleaning
companies (including Steamtronics), but that they were
all so efficient she co uldn't pick just one to
recommend. An employee of each company cleaned 3
different rugs from Helga's collection of 15 (7 of
which—the Aubusson, Belouch, Bokhara, Caucasian, Heriz,
Kirman, and Tabriz—are Oriental rugs, while the
remaining 8—the Axminster, Brussels, Hopi, moquette,
Navaho, Savonnerie, Saxony, and Wilton—are not).
From the information provided, determine the person (identified by first and last names—one surname is Yelden) who works for each company, as well as the 3 rugs he or she cleaned for Helga.
Here is a convenient table for recording your conclusions:
First Name | Last Name | Company | Rugs |
Problem 11: Job Break
Right
before his fall break from college, Josh signed up at a
series of temp agencies. To his surprise and delight, a
representative from each agency called him with a job
opportunity on the very first day of his break! Each
representative offered Josh a different type of job
(including secret shopper) in a different nearby city
(in one case, Monrovia). Each job has a different shift
(Monday-Tuesday, Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday,
Monday-Wednesday-Friday, Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday, or
Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday). With so many offers
coming in, Josh has gone from being temporarily idle to
permanently busy!
From the information provided, determine the job that the representative from each agency offered Josh, as well as the city in which each job is located and the days that comprise its shift.
Here is a convenient table for recording your conclusions:
Agency | Representative | Job | City | Shift |
