18 The man with 9 nieces and 6 nephews isn’t Mr Grainger (clue 4), Mr Venner (clue 1) or Mr Harte (2), so Mr Thorpe. He isn’t Patrick (1), Ronnie (2) or Norman (3), so Theo. By elimination, Norman has 7 nieces and 5 nephews (3), so Patrick has 8 nieces and 7 nephews (1), thus Ronnie has 6 nieces and 8 nephews. Patrick is Mr Harte (2). Norman isn’t Mr Venner (1), so his surname is Grainger and Ronnie’s is Venner. Thus (nieces - nephews): Norman - Grainger - 7 - 5; Patrick - Harte - 8 - 7; Ronnie - Venner - 6 - 8; Theo - Thorpe - 9 - 6.

54 The person who spent 2½ hours in the library isn’t Judy (clue 2), Lionel or Trish (clue 3), so Martin. The one who spent 3 hours in the library isn’t Judy (2), so Trish (3) and Lionel was there for 3½ hours. Judy was there for 4 hours, so Trish studied politics. Judy studied coins (2). Martin arrived at 9.00am (3), so he studied butterflies (1) and Lionel arrived at 9.30am and studied flags. Trish arrived at 9.15am (2) and Judy at 8.45am. Thus: Judy - 8.45am - 4 hours - coins;

55

Martin - 9.00am - 2½ hours Trish - 9.15am - 3 hours - politics. 56 C – The middle scrolls do not conform with the others.

126 The men holding the ace and/or 3 of spades aren’t Simon (clue 3) or Damian (clue 4). Henry hasn’t the ace of spades (1), so he has the 3 and George has the ace. The man with the 7 of hearts has the 3 of clubs (1) and

127

George (above). Damian has the 5 of spades (2) and Henry has the queen of clubs. By elimination, Simon has the clubs (3). Simon has the 4 of hearts. Simon has the 7 of clubs (3) and George has the 5 of clubs. Henry has the king of hearts (6) and George has the 9 of hearts. Thus (club - heart - spade): Damian - 3 - 7 - 5; George - 5 - 9 - A; Henry - Q - K - 3; Simon - 7 - 4 - J.

128 A – In each horizontal row, the left hexagon and centre hexagon are superimposed to make the right hexagon.

162 Brenda’s news was her pregnancy (clue 1). Matthew’s wasn’t about graduation or a new home (clue 2), so his engagement. Matthew wrote the letter (2). Tuesday’s news was told in person, but not by Brenda or Jeff (3), so Tina. The email wasn’t sent by Brenda or Tina (1), so by Jeff. By elimination, Brenda made the phone call. Jeff’s news wasn’t of the graduation (1), so a new home, and Tina’s was of the graduation. The email came on Wednesday (1). The phone call wasn’t made on Friday (3), so Thursday. Friday’s news came by letter. Thus: Tuesday - in person - Tina graduation; Wednesday - email - Jeff - new home; Thursday - phone call - Brenda pregnancy; Friday - letter - Matthew engagement.

198 Desmond ordered sorbet (clue 1). Eileen didn’t order cheesecake (clue 3). Nor, since she received ice cream (3), did she order ice cream. Thus Eileen ordered apple pie. So Gina’s table number was one higher than Eileen’s (2), thus Gina didn’t order cheesecake (3). By elimination, Gina ordered ice cream and Frederick ordered cheesecake. Table 4 wasn’t taken by Gina (2), Frederick or Eileen (3 and above), so Desmond. Frederick had table 1, Eileen had table 2 (3) and Gina had table 3 (2). Desmond received apple pie (2). Frederick’s order of cheesecake was thus received by Gina. Frederick received the sorbet. Thus (ordered - received): Desmond - table 4 - sorbet - apple pie; Eileen - table 2 - apple pie - ice cream; Frederick - table 1 - cheesecake sorbet; Gina - table 3 - ice cream cheesecake.

234 Remember throughout that each man has three different quantities (intro). Thus the man with 7 old shirts has 10 odd socks (clue 2) and Fred has 9 odd socks. The man with 6 odd socks has 8 old shirts (1) and Tony has 9 old shirts, so (by elimination) Tony also has 7 odd socks and Fred has 5 old shirts. Thus Fred (9 odd socks, above) has 10 torn trousers (1) and Tony has 11 torn trousers. The man with 8 old shirts has 9 torn trousers and the one with 8 torn trousers has 7 old shirts. Marty has 7 old shirts (3) and Vernon has 8 old shirts. Thus (socks - shirts - trousers): Fred - 9 - 5 - 10; Marty - 10 - 7 - 8; Tony - 7 - 9 - 11; Vernon - 6 - 8 - 9.

270 Ticket 008 wasn’t pink (clue 1), yellow or white (clue 2), so green and (3) won a pen. Ticket 054 wasn’t pink (1) or white (2), so yellow and Andrea had 008. Ticket 146 didn’t win the clock (1) or the vase (4), so a cake. Wendy didn’t win the cake (4), so Sharon who won the vase had ticket 054 and Wendy had ticket 100 and (by elimination) won the clock. Karen had ticket 146 (cake, above). Karen’s ticket was pink (1), so Wendy’s was white. Thus: Andrea - 008 - green - pen; Karen - 146 - pink - cake; Sharon - 054 - yellow - vase; Wendy - 100 - white - clock.
