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.

  1. 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.

  2. Charlie Stevens didn’t submit a chocolate chip cookie recipe.

  3. The favorite cookie wasn’t Eileen’s recipe. The fourth place winner wasn’t the double
    chocolate cookie.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. The two dogs were the one who lived on Lincoln Street and the one whose name was Terry.
  3. The Sanford family didn’t have a dog but they lived on Curve Street. The Manning
    family had a pet named Brandy.
  4. The Johnson family had a cat but he wasn’t called Mike.
  5. The Wood family lived on Forest Street but they didn’t have a pet named Spooky.
  6. 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.

  1. Steven, whose last name wasn’t Rich, was under par for the course. Mr. West got his hole-in-one at hole 9.
  2. The person who matched the course par got a hole-in-one at hole 15, but it wasn’t
    Aaron.
  3. Mr. Rich’s score was four points higher than Elliot’s score. Jerry’s last name wasn’t
    Grant.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

  1. “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”.
  2. 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.
  3. “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.
  4. Elliot did not see the movie that released on January 16th on a Tuesday night.
  5. Elliot saw “At Midnight” before he went with Brad but two weeks after “Just Before
    Dawn”.
  6. 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.

  1. Originally, he planned to travel to New York first but he didn’t go to Berlin instead.
  2. He stayed in Boston before he stayed in Newark.
  3. Instead of London, he went to New York but after he’d already traveled to Atlanta.
  4. His original fifth planned stop turned out to be the city he stayed over in on his way to
    London.
  5. Greg stayed in Washington DC on his way to Atlanta.
  6. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. Ryan, whose last name wasn’t Right, wasn’t sponsored by NAPA Auto Parts. Barry
    Straight wasn’t sponsored by Fleet Bodyworks.
  3. The driver sponsored by Crank Motor Oil placed one position higher than Sydney,
    whose last name wasn’t Element.
  4. Mr. Chariot, whose first name wasn’t Adam, finished in first place. Howard placed one position lower than Mr. Right.
  5. NAPA Auto Parts sponsored the driver who finished in fourth place, which wasn’t
    Barry.

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.

  1. 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.
  2. Barbara Jones got a puzzle with more pieces than the puzzle with the panther had.
    Terri didn’t get a puzzle with 1200 pieces.
  3. The two puzzles with less than 1000 pieces were the puzzle that Mrs. Smith received
    and the puzzle with the roses.
  4. 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.
  5. Ms. Weather received a puzzle with 1000 pieces. The puzzle with the panther had 200 pieces more than Melinda’s puzzle.
  6. The puzzle with the covered bridge had 500 pieces less than the puzzle that Cynthia

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.

  1. Rhonda Mincer didn’t guess correctly on the word pervade. The girl who correctly
    guessed the definition of arcanum was Mindy.
  2. The girl whose last name was Heart, which wasn’t Alice, guessed correctly on the
    word endue.
  3. The one whose last name was Summer missed one word fewer than Mindy, who didn’t miss five words.
  4. Tara’s last name wasn’t French but she only missed one word.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

  1. The Outlook Inn had a higher rating than the hotel where Patricia stayed. The three star hotel was not Peak’s Inn.
  2. 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.
  3. Ms. Windswept and Joseph both stayed at four-star hotels.
  4. Ms. Weatherby stayed at the Meadow Hotel, which wasn’t a five-star hotel.
  5. The Wayside Lodge was a five-star hotel. Wendy’s last name wasn’t Weaver.
  6. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. The employee of Immaculate Mats cleaned the moquette and Saxony floor coverings. The one who works for Aladdin Cleaners serviced three Oriental rugs.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. The three assignments that include a Thursday shift are the one from Triple Star, the one in San Gabriel, and the movie-extra job.
  3. The two four-day assignments are the house-sitting job (which isn't the one in Alhambra) and the one Ken offered.
  4. 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.
  5. The representatives of Gold Ring and Red Arrow are Sandra and the one who offered the dog-walking job, in some order.
  6. 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).

  1. Steve wasn't the sound engineer. One of the women enjoyed EQ magazine.
  2. Steve didn't like Recording magazine. The bass player used Ibanez equipment.
  3. Mr. Magnus didn't use Mackie equipment. Mark's last name wasn't Hydal and he didn't play keyboard.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Mackie only developed equipment for live sound and recording NOT musical instruments.
