Problem List
1:
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.

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.
- The Parker family lived on Maple
Street but their pet wasn’t named Mike. A cat lived
on Forest Street but he wasn’t named Spooky.
- The
two dogs were the one who lived on Lincoln Street and
the one whose name was Terry.
- The Sanford
family didn’t have a dog but they lived on Curve Street.
The Manning
family had a pet named Brandy.
- The
Johnson family had a cat but he wasn’t called Mike.
- The Wood family lived on Forest Street but they
didn’t have a pet named Spooky.
- One cat was named
Sylvester and he lived on Brook Street.

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.
- Steven, whose last name wasn’t Rich, was
under par for the course. Mr. West got his
hole-in-one at hole 9.
- The person who matched the course par got a
hole-in-one at hole 15, but it wasn’t
Aaron.
- Mr. Rich’s score was four points higher than
Elliot’s score. Jerry’s last name wasn’t
Grant.
- Elliot got his hole-in-one three holes before
Mr. Stewart, who got his hole-in-one three holes
before the person who had a final score of 38, who
got his hole-in-one three holes before Jerry.
- The two people who scored under par for the
course were Mr. Grant and the person
who got a
hole-in-one at hole 9.
- Joe Larriot didn’t get his hole-in-one at hole
3.

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.
- “Heavenly Stars” released on January 30th but
Elliot didn’t see it on a Thursday night. Nathan
went with Elliot on a Monday night but they didn’t
see “Victorious”.
- George didn’t join Elliot on a Wednesday night.
Elliot saw the movie that released on
January 9th
on a Friday night but not with Tim.
- “The Affair” came out a week after the movie
that Elliot saw with George but a week
before the
movie that Elliot saw on a Thursday night.
- Elliot did not see the movie that released on
January 16th on a Tuesday night.
- Elliot saw “At Midnight” before he went with
Brad but two weeks after “Just Before
Dawn”.
- Lester went to see the movie that released on
January 2nd but not on a Wednesday
night.

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.
- Originally, he planned to travel to New York
first but he didn’t go to Berlin instead.
- He stayed in Boston before he stayed in Newark.
- Instead of London, he went to New York but after
he’d already traveled to Atlanta.
- His original fifth planned stop turned out to be
the city he stayed over in on his way to
London.
- Greg stayed in Washington DC on his way to
Atlanta.
- From first stop to last, the cities he went to
were Paris, the city he went to instead of
Berlin, the city he went to after laying over in
Newark, Berlin, and lastly the city he
went to
instead of Paris.

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.
- The driver sponsored by Flash Automotive
finished the race in third place. Howard,
who
wasn’t sponsored by Crank Motor Oil, didn’t finish
the race in fifth place.
- Ryan, whose last name wasn’t Right, wasn’t
sponsored by NAPA Auto Parts. Barry
Straight
wasn’t sponsored by Fleet Bodyworks.
- The driver sponsored by Crank Motor Oil placed
one position higher than Sydney,
whose last name
wasn’t Element.
- Mr. Chariot, whose first name wasn’t Adam,
finished in first place. Howard placed one
position lower than Mr. Right.
- NAPA Auto Parts sponsored the driver who
finished in fourth place, which wasn’t
Barry.
- The five drivers, in no particular order, are
Adam, the second place driver, the driver
sponsored by Tredco Tires, Mr. Right, and Mr. Rafe.

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.
- The woman who got a jigsaw puzzle with cats had
a last name of Stokes, but it wasn’t Cynthia.
Melinda’s last name wasn’t Smith.
- Barbara Jones got a puzzle with more pieces than
the puzzle with the panther had.
Terri didn’t get
a puzzle with 1200 pieces.
- The two puzzles with less than 1000 pieces were
the puzzle that Mrs. Smith received
and the
puzzle with the roses.
- The puzzle that the woman whose last name was
Weather received had more pieces
than the puzzle
with the covered bridge but fewer pieces than the
puzzle that Sherryl
got.
- Ms. Weather received a puzzle with 1000 pieces.
The puzzle with the panther had 200 pieces more
than Melinda’s puzzle.
- The puzzle with the covered bridge had 500
pieces less than the puzzle that Cynthia
received. The puzzle with 1500 pieces wasn’t given
to Sherryl.

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.
- Rhonda Mincer didn’t guess correctly on the word
pervade. The girl who correctly
guessed the
definition of arcanum was Mindy.
- The girl whose last name was Heart, which wasn’t
Alice, guessed correctly on the
word endue.
- The one whose last name was Summer missed one
word fewer than Mindy, who didn’t miss five
words.
- Tara’s last name wasn’t French but she only
missed one word.
- The girl who missed three words did guess
correctly on the word fructuous. Barbara’s last
name wasn’t Heart and she missed more words than the
girl whose last name was Summer.
- Alice missed one more word than the girl who
guessed the correct definition for
egregious.
Mindy’s last name wasn’t Willow.

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.
- The Outlook Inn had a higher rating than the
hotel where Patricia stayed. The three star hotel
was not Peak’s Inn.
- Michael’s last name was Ontheway but he didn’t
stay at the Wayside Lodge. Sarah,
whose last name
wasn’t Spinner, stayed at the Outlook Inn.
- Ms. Windswept and Joseph both stayed at
four-star hotels.
- Ms. Weatherby stayed at the Meadow Hotel, which
wasn’t a five-star hotel.
- The Wayside Lodge was a five-star hotel. Wendy’s
last name wasn’t Weaver.
- The Fell Hollows Lodge was rated with one star
less than the hotel where the person
whose last
name was Spinner stayed.

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.
- Neither Royana (who works for Just Like New Rug
Service) nor Brienne cleaned the Brussels rug.
Prescott cleaned only one Oriental rug—the Kirman.
Felice cleaned the Belouch rug, while Brienne
serviced the Axminster.
- The employee of Immaculate Mats cleaned the
moquette and Saxony floor coverings. The one who
works for Aladdin Cleaners serviced three Oriental
rugs.
- The one surnamed Cosgrove (who works for Rug
Rangers) cleaned at least two Oriental rugs. The one
surnamed Escobedo serviced the Hopi rug, but not the
Savonnerie. The one surnamed Wessel cleaned the
Wilton floor covering.
- Neither Giles Simkins (who didn't clean the
Heriz) nor the one surnamed Wessel serviced the
Aubusson. Neither the one who cleaned the Axminster
(who doesn't work for Immaculate Mats) nor the one
who cleaned the Aubusson is surnamed Cosgrove.

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.
- Two assignments that start on Monday are the one
from Apex and the one Bill offered. Bill (who didn't
call about the Pasadena job) doesn't work for Red
Arrow.
- The three assignments that include a Thursday
shift are the one from Triple Star, the one in San
Gabriel, and the movie-extra job.
- The two four-day assignments are the
house-sitting job (which isn't the one in Alhambra)
and the one Ken offered.
- Crystal (who isn't the one who called about the
opening for a bingo caller) and Sandra are the
representative of Big Time and the one who called
about the job in Temple City, in some order.
- The representatives of Gold Ring and Red Arrow
are Sandra and the one who offered the dog-walking
job, in some order.
- The assignment Roger offered (which isn't in
Pasadena) includes a Friday shift. The job in
Pasadena doesn't include a Tuesday shift.

Problem 12: Cabbage CD
Five
friends pooled their resources one day and pieced a CD
together from songs they had written. They called their
band Frozen Cabbage and ended up playing a number of
live gigs at local events. Determine the full name of
each band member, the instrument (or mixing console)
each played, the brand of equipment each used, plus each
member's favorite magazine (including Home Recording).
- Steve wasn't the sound engineer. One of the
women enjoyed EQ magazine.
- Steve didn't like Recording magazine.
The bass player used Ibanez equipment.
- Mr. Magnus didn't use Mackie equipment. Mark's
last name wasn't Hydal and he didn't play keyboard.
- The sound engineer, whose last name wasn't
Engel, enjoyed reading Mix magazine. The
person who used Yamaha drums wasn't Robert, but
their last name is Hydal.
- The five band members (in no particular order)
were: Mark Scott, the female bass player, the person
who read Musician, the one who used Peavey
equipment, and Robert. Shelley's last name was not
Hydal or McArthur and she didn't use Roland
equipment. Steve McArthur was the guitarist.
Angie didn't like Recording magazine.
-
Mackie only developed equipment for live sound and
recording NOT musical instruments.
