Ok, I thought of starting my favourie topic...i.e. Puzzles.
Here is the first puzzle.
Four coworkers are all going on different vacations during the month of February. Each proclaimed that they wanted to go somewhere warm for awhile – they’d seen enough snow for one winter. The rest of their departments watched them come and go with envy. Each coworker had a wonderful time and returned to work with a tan and lots of pictures of their trip. Determine the full name of each vacationer, the city each is traveling to, the means of transportation being used (one was an airplane), and how long each vacationer plans to stay (3 to 6 days).
1. Mr. Cook didn’t go to Las Vegas but he was gone longer than the person who used the bus. The person whose last name was Wakefield was gone longer than the person who went to Atlanta.
2. The person who traveled by train spent five days on vacation.
3. Fred rented a car for his vacation. Melinda’s last name wasn’t Wakefield.
4. Larry went to Orlando. The person whose last name was Surrey didn’t travel to Atlanta but was gone for three days.
5. Harriet West didn’t travel by bus. The person who visited Atlanta for four days wasn’t Fred.
6. Larry’s last name wasn’t Wakefield. The person who went to Houston was gone for six days.
First Names: Fred, Harriet, Larry, Melinda
Last Names: Surrey, Cook, West, Wakefield
City Names: Houston Atlanta, Las Vegas, Orlando
# of days: 3,4,5,6
