Wh o Is Telling th e Tru th ? Con is.
Th e Colored Ch em icals Puzzle Orange , yellow, and green are p oison. Mr. Black, Mr. Gray , and Mr. Wh ite
The key is that the m an in white is talking to Mr. Black and so cannot be h im . Nor can he be Mr. White, since nobody is wearing his own color. So the m an in white must be Mr. Gray . We can show what we know like this:
Mr. White black
The straight line sh ows what m ust be true ; the wiggly line shows what can not be true. Mr White can not be wearing white ; so he 's in black . That leaves Mr. Black wearing gray.

Soda o r Milksh ake ?
Suppose Alan h as a soda. Then (a) say s Bet has a m ilkshake. But (c) tells you Cis cannot then have a m ilkshake and must h ave a soda. But (b) says both Alan and Cis cannot both h ave a soda. Alan cannot have a sod a ; so Alan has a m ilkshake. From (b ) that means Cis h as a soda. Which , from (c) , leaves Bet free to choose either a soda or a m ilksh ake . Thus there are two p ossible orders : ( I ) Alan , milksh ake ; Cis, soda ; and Bet , sod a . ( 2) Alan, m ilksh ake ; Cis, sod a ; Bet , milkshake.

March Hare 's Party
Sylvie had tea under the tree at table I because she wouldn't go near water. Al and Barbra sat at table 3 : He couldn't take her in the boat to table 4. Gary j o ined the m at 3, roller-skating over the bridge : He couldn't go to table 2 because of the "no boys" rule. That leaves Don , who wouldn't sit with Gary at table 3 and also couldn't take the p ath to table 2. Don rowed to table 4 and sat by him self.
Answer: table I , Sylvie ; 2, n obody ; 3 , AI, Barbra , and Gary ; and 4 , Don. Marriage Mix-up
Ted is m arried to Barbra with daughter Ruth , Pete to Sue with daughter Wendy , and Charlie to Nicola with son Dick . The reasoning goes like this: Ted's d aughter is not Wendy . So his daughter must be Ruth . So Pete is father of other girl , Wendy . Which means Charlie is father of Dick . S o his wife cannot be Barbra because she has a daughter. (Assume a girl plays Annie and Ophelia ! ) His wife is not Sue, so his wife has to be Nicola. Now Pete's daugh ter is not Barbra's daughter because they have only one child each. So Pete cannot be married to Barbra. That m eans Ted is m arried to B arbra , and Pete therefore to Sue.
Wh o Does Wh ich Jo b ?
Orville i s bartender and singer ; Virgil i s private ey e and racing d river; Homer is jockey and cardsharp. This is how you get the answer. Draw a table to show the men and the jobs, and fill it in as follows:
Facts used Orville Virgil Hom er 3 Private eye I 2 Racing driver X 2 S inger X X 3 4 J ockey X X 4 B artender I Cardsharp
First look at the jo bs. Fact
1
tells us the b artender is not the same m an as the racing driver. Put a1
beside them ( as shown) . Similarly the racing d river(2)
is not the singer(2) .
And so on. Now look at the men. Fact2
tells us Homer is neither the racing driver nor the singe r ; so put an X in the table under Hom er opposite those two job s , as shown . Fact
5
says Virgil is not the singer; put an X under Virgil op posite Singer. Fact6
tells y ou Homer is the jockey as Virgil and Orville are not ; opp osite Jockey put X's under V and0
and a check under H.Now for the reasoning. Orville m ust be the singer-since neither Virgil nor Homer is-so put a check under
0
opp osite Singer. Here is the table so far in brief: P R S J B C o x V x X H X XJ
To fill the Singer line put a check under Orville
(0) .
Then in the Jockey line put a check un der Homer (H) . And so on.Fact
2
tells us to put a cross under H opposite R. Fact3
gives an X under H opp osite P and B . That leaves only C for H's second j o b : put a check there. The table looks like this :P R S J B C o X V X X H X X X
J
XJ
Now we can put a check under V op posite R. So Fact
1
gives an X under V opp osite B -thus forcing aJ
under0
on that line ( that is , Orville's second job is bartender) . Finally , the bottom line with two X's means V irgil's second job is P ( private eye) .Birds and Insects
Wonderland Golf
Five shots : DDDS D or S DDSD. There is a pattern. To see it , turn back to the map of the golf course. Working b ackward s from h ole 1 8 , a D shot gets you back to hole 9, then an S sh ot to 8, followed by three D's to the first tee. (From 2 to I could be an S as well.) You can also work it out by arith metic. Divide the hole number by 2 over and over again , n oting if there is a remain der of l . For 1 8 y ou get :
1 8 9 4 r 1 2 1
Count up the number of answers and rem ainders : 9 , 4 , 1 , 2 , 1 , which m akes five numbers; that's how many shots it takes. This rule work s for any hole.
