Logic Puzzler #3



Hey Bloggerland!
Sorry it has been a while since our logic thumb has updated this blog but here is the answer to last weeks logic puzzler:

Logic Puzzler #2: What do an island and the the letter T have in common?
answer: They are both in the middle of waTer!

Okay, now for this week, I decided since the weather is going to be nasty, I would put a puzzler that will take some time to figure out. This is a logic puzzler, not a riddle, so enjoy....

Logic Puzzler #3: High School Reunion

Four former friends attended their 10th high school reunion. From the following statements, can you figure out each women's full name, high school claim to fame, and current occupation?

1. Neither Heather nor French was voted Most Likely to Succeed or selected as valedictorian.

2. Zoe and Sophie still live in the same town as their high school; Moskowitz lives in another state.

3. Mayer, who isn't Zoe, is a computer programmer.

4. The dentist was voted Class Clown; the one with the Most School Spirit is a financial consultant.

5. Mulroney and Binky both had to travel a significant distance to attend the reunion.

6. The lawyer (who was not voted Most Likely to Succeed), Heather, and the financial consultant went to the same college.



Hint: Make grid to help solve this. Have fun!

(These are the first names):Sophie, Heather, Binky, Zoe

I'm confused. :D Is French a girls first name or last name?? Seems like there are 3 first names and 5 last names! :)

I'm working on it though...just getting hung up on "French"

YAY! Okay, I think I have it then...I was wondering if Binky was the first name! :D :D THanks so much!

Now I'm a little confused with one more part. It said that two of the girls live in the same town as their highschool, but three last names had to travel a distance to come to the reunion. Does that mean the reunion wasn't in the same state as their highschool was?? Not sure how it all adds up! :D I have what I think though! ;)
