This one is not quite as easy to encode as it looks. The twins complicate things! You also need a way to say “second youngest” and the like. The scenario takes us back to a bunch of kids and their ages and names, etc. but I thought exchanging skateboards and so forth might be a touch more exciting than all those jellybeans!
Andy, Belinda, Clara, Daniel, Elizabeth and Frederic are six children, all except the twins being of different ages, all more than 5 years old and all less than 11. Their surnames, in alphabetical order, are Garrett, Hardy, Irwin, Jones and Kennedy.
At one of those events that primary schools hold to raise money, they each arrived (one after the other) with one of their old toys – a kite, a well-used football, a skateboard, a wooden puzzle, a scary vampire costume and a box of conjuring tricks – to be sold on the toy stall. Each left carrying one of these six treasures, though not of course the one they came with.
- Andy is not the youngest. Daniel is older than Andy.
- The youngest child arrived earlier than the oldest.
- The oldest child, who is not Frederic Jones, took home the box of tricks.
- Clara Hardy exchanged toys with someone who arrived earlier than she did.
- The child who came with the skateboard is 3 years older than Belinda. The boy who went home with it is younger than the child who took the football.
- The skateboard and the football both arrived before the kite.
- The second youngest child, who is not called Irwin, arrived first, and the second oldest last. Neither of them has a twin.
- The twins, whose surname is not Garrett, arrived with the puzzle and costume (in that order), and left with the ball and kite. Two other children arrived after the first of the twins but before the second.
- Miss Garrett did not take the costume.
So which boy took home the puzzle?
