LEISURE PURSUITS - A Grid-Type Logic Problem by Roger Burden Three women, who all work in the local shopping centre, have each taken up a rather unusual and demanding hobby recently. From the clues below, can you work out each woman’s forename and surname, where she works, and what her new hobby is? 1. Ms Green works in the chemists shop; it’s Ms Mason who has recently taken up caving – though she has to travel to Derbyshire to participate. 2. Ann, who works at the hairdressers, isn’t Ms Price. 3. It’s not the supermarket worker who has decided to learn kung fu. 4. Cathy has no interest in archery. CATEGORIES. A) Forenames: Ann, Cathy, Gail. B) Surnames: Green, Mason, Price. C) Employers: chemists, hairdressers, supermarket. D) Hobbies: archery, caving, kung fu. Please scroll down the page for the solution.
LEISURE PURSUITS – SOLUTION. Ms Green works at the chemists (1), so Ann, who works for the hairdresser and isn’t Ms Price (2), must be Ms Mason, and has therefore taken up caving (1). By elimination, Ms Price works in the supermarket. Her hobby isn’t kung fu (3), so must be archery, leaving kung fu as Ms Green’s hobby. Ms Price isn’t Cathy (4), so must be Gail, leaving Cathy as Ms Green from the chemists who has taken up kung fu. IN SUMMARY Ann Mason, hairdressers, caving. Cathy Green, chemists, kung fu. Gail Price, supermarket, archery. |
