don'r need dictionaries or other reference books to solve a logicpuzzle, just a pencil and plenty of common sense'-

Usualiy, a logic puzzle asks you to match up sets of things'For exanple. you might be told lhat four men each own anexotic pet, and to solve the puzzle you'd -match up each man'sfirst nime \ /ith his last name and his kind of pet. You figrrr:e

out how to mat h them up by studying a list ofclues, like *Ihe

llama doesnt belong to Duane."In order to make solving fa-ster and easier, experienced logic

puzzlers use a solving grid to record the information they'vededuced. They've found that seeing the inforrnation in black andwhite, neatly organized, helps them make furiher deductions.

lhere are two kinds of solving grids you'll find most often:the "crosshatch" grid and the "fiIl-in" grid. Sometimes you can'ttell.which kind will work best until you've spent a lot of timetrying to solve the puzzle with the wrong ki^d. In Dell logiaPuzzles, we figure out which kind of grid is the most usefulfor each puzzle, and we print it on the same page. Sometimeswe'll even give you both kinds if we think it will help. Let'slook at a typical puzzle that works best with a crosshatch grid.

PET OWNERS

Each of four men owns a different species of exotic pet. .F romthe following clues, can you frgure out each man's full nameand what kind of pet he owns?1, Mr..Engels (whose pet is named Sparky), Abner, and Mr.

Foster all belong to a club for owners of unusual pets.

2. The iguana i6n't owrred by either Chuck or Duane.3. Neither the jackal nor the king cobra is owned by Mr. Foster.

4. The llama doesn't belong to Duane (whose pet is namedWaggles).

5: Abner, who doesn't own the king cobra, isn't Mr. Grint€r.6. Bruce and Mr. Foster are neighbors.7. Mr. Halera is afraid of iguanas.And heret the crosshatch grid:

That was a fairlv simple deduction, but in order to solve thispuzzle you'll need to make some deductions that are a littlei.i"ti... Go through the rest of the clues,and. pu-t Xs into ihe

Mr. Engels or Mr. Foster. We record this information in thesolving grid by pr-rtting an X rmeaning -no", in the square atthe intersection of "Abner" and "Engels," anil another X at theintersection of "Abner- and 'Foster."

Now let's look at clue 5. From it we learn that Abner doesn'tovfir the king cobra, and that Alner isn't Mr. Gunt€r..Put Xs

be ready by 8:00---<lue 2). Hillary's second slot can't be 7:50(or she'd be finished earlier than only two of the four----clue 5),but her two slots'aren't consecutive (the only performer withconsecutive slots is a man----clue 4), so her slots are at 7:20 and7:40. Belle and Fritz both have their second slots after Hillary(clue 5), so they have the two 7:50 slots. The man whose slotsale consecutive (clue 4), then, can't be Claude, so he's Fritz,and therefore Fritz's first slot is al 7:40. Claude and Diane musthave the two 7:30 slots (clue 6), and by elimination tlle other7:20 slot is Belle's. Belle is made up at 7:20 and wigged at 7:50(clue 3), so Hillary's 7:20 slot must be for a wig, and Fritz's7:50 slot must be for his makeup; at 7:40, then, Hillary getsmade up and Fritz gets his wig. The man who gets made upbefore he gets wigged (clue 3) must be Claude, so Claude ismade up at 7:J0 and wigged ar 8:00: by elimination. Diane iswigged at 7:J0 and made up ar 8:00. In summary:

DIVE INTO STOCKS PAGE 12JEP increased by 57o (clue 3), and the $20 stock by 4570 (clue4). VIP was purchased for $40 (clue 5), so it isn't either of thetwo that decreascd in value (clue.2); therefore it increased by254a. XYZ wasn't purchased for $30 or $50 (clue 2), nor for$20 (clues 2 and 4), so ir was purbhased for $lO; it didn't losel5Vo (clue l), so it tost 3570 (clue 2). The $50 stock lost 1570(clue 2), so by etimination JEP was purchased for $30. LKBwasn't purchased for $20 (clue 4), so it was purchased for $50,and by elimination BMS was purchased for $20.

BAGELS FOR BREAKFAST PAGE 13Clues I and 4 each mention three consecutive people; sincethere werejust five people in all, there must be overlap b€tweenclues I and 4. The only two ways these two clues can overlapis ifAdrienne is Zezel or if Marciullonis ordered the egg bagel.But ifAdrienne were Zezel, then she wouldbe third and Liannawould be fourth (clues I and 4), and there would be no wayGlen and Steve could be two places apart in line (clue 3), sothis is impossible. Thus the five people in order were Zeze\Lianna, Marciulionis (who ordered the egg bagel), the one whoordered the whole wheat bagel., and Adrienne (clues I and 4).Glen and Steye were first and third in some order (clue 3), so.by elimination David was fourth. Adrienne isn't Bogard (clue4) or Niles (clue 6), so she's Karros: Her bagel wasn't pumper-nickel (clue 2) or raisin cinnamon (clue 5), so it was onign.David isn't Niles (btue 6), so Lianna is Niles, and David isBogard. Glen is Marciulionis (clue 6), so Steve is Zezel. LiannaNiles didn't have the pumpemickel tragel (clue 6), so:she hadthe raisin cinnamon'bagel, and by elimination Steye Zezel hadthe pumpernickel bagel. In summary:

First, Steve Zezel, pumpernickel bagqlSecond, Lianna Niles, raisin cinnamoh bagelThird, Glen Marciulioris, egg bagelFourth, David Bogard, whole wheat bagelFifth, Adrienne Karros, onion bagel

BIZARRE TREK PAGE 14Amh isn't rhe smallest plane{. but is less than half the size ofRanus (clue 1), which is smaller than Velcron (clue 7); the onlypossibility is that their relative masses are 3, 7, and 1l respec-tively.

The Tutilliansaren't from Arrth (clue 4), so they're from Ranus (clue 2). ThePachydermi are from Ort (clue 9). The Gnatites ar€n't froin , "Velcron (clue 2), so theyrre from Arrth, and by elimination the 'Slimese are from Velcron. In sumrnary:

PYRAMIOS PAGE 15The two leaders in clue 7, entombed two years apart, can onlyhave been entombed either in 279 and 281, or in 281 and 283;in either case, one was entombed in 281; this leader was Dobal(clue 2), so his pyramid was bronze (clue 7). The Grinja leaderwas entombed in 283 (clue 1). Dobal didn't lead the Ifendus(clue 2), Hulagos (whose pyramid wasn't bronze - {lue 4), orKuzois (clue 5), so Dobal led the Fakiris. The pyramid used in280 was marble (clue 6); this wasn't for Emut (clue 3), Abdul(clue 6), or Batra Roi (clue 7), so it was for Cleon. The pyramidused in 283 by the Grinjas wasn't made of silver (clue l) orebony (clue 4), so it was gold, and thus it was for Emut (clue3). Baba Roi was entombed in 279 (clue 7), and by eliminationAbdul was entombed in 284. The Hulagos used the'ebonypyramid, but not in 279 (clue 4), so they used it ir 284. Byelimination, Baba Roi's pyramid was silver. The Kuzois' leaderwasn't Baba Roi (clue 5), so this was Cleon, and by eliminationBaba Roi led the lfendus. In summary:

MICROBE TOUFISMChroma's tour was eitherWednesday orThursday (clue 2), andso was Fossa's (clue 5), so Serrata and vermis toured on Fridayand Saturday, in som€ order. Serata toured the Islet ofI:ngerhans(clue l). The Mediastinum Isthmus wasn't toured by Vermis(clue 3), so it wasn't toured Friday or Saturday. The Friday touralso wasn't of Lake Lacrimal (clue 4) or the Hyaloid Canal(clue 6), so it was of the Islet of Langerhaos, Serrata's tour.Therefore Vermis toured on Saturday. Serrata isn't the father(clue 2), mother (clue 3), or sister (clue 4), so he's the brother.Fossa's tour ivas on Wednesday (clue 5), and by eliminationChroma's was on Thursday. Vermis is the father (clue 2). Themother toured the Mediastinum Isthmus (clue 3). The sister'stour wasn'ton Wednesday (sinie in that case the Lake Lacrimaltour would have been on Thursday--clue 4-and the mother'stour would be impossible), so it was Thursday, and byelimination the mother's tour was on Wednesday.

From the introduction, the four blocks contain all the letters ofthe alphabel except Q and X, so each of the 24 sides shows a

different letter. The letters of GLIB must be on four differentblocks. We'll call lhe block with G "block 1," the block with L"block 2," the block wirh t "block 3." and the block wilh B"block 4." (These numbers are arbitrary and only used to makethe solution easier to follow.) The letter A doesn't appear onblock 2 (or it would be impossible to spell SLAV), block 3(IOWA), or block 4 (BANK), so A m.ust be on block l. Theletter S doesn't appeiu on block I or 2 (SLAV), or block 3(SUFI), so S must be on block 4. Then V must be on block 3(SLAV). The letter N doesn't appear on btock I or 4 (BANK),orblock 3 (ZINC), so N must tre on block 2. Then K is on blockJ (BANK). Block I can't conlain H (HARD) or O (IOWA), soit contains either M or T (MOTH), and in either case block Idoesn't contain U (JUMP and'IUTE). The letter U also can'tbe on block 3 or 4 (SUFI), so U is on block 2. The letter 4 then,is on block 1 (SUFI). Block 2 can't contain E or T (JUTE), M(ruMP). or Z (ZINC). so it must contain eilher H or O (fromMOTH) and either D or O (from DOZE): therefore if block 2didn't contain O, it would have to contain bo& D and H, whichis impossible lHARD); so block 2 must contain O. The lenerW is on block 4 (IOWA.). One of the le$ers 'of HARD mustappear on block 2: this can't be H (MOTH) or D (DOZE), so

it must be R. We've found dree of the six letters on block 4 (8,S, and W ): a fourth must be either D or H THARD), a fifth mustbe either J, M, 6r P (JUMP), and a sixth must be either C or Z(ZINC); but block 4 muSt also contain a letter from JUTE,,,which now can only be J. Block 4 must also contain a lettsffrom MOTH, which now.iari't be M (JUMP), so it's H. Then,block 4 must contain a letter from DOZE, which can only beZ. Bl<tck 3 must contain D (HARD), so block I must containE (DO7F) as well as C (ZINC). Block 3 contains T (J[.IIE), soblock 1 contains. M (MOTH).

DOMINOES PAGE 19The 5 at e5 must be part ofthe 3-5 or 4-5 domino, and the sameis true of the 5 at g7, so these two 5's belong to the 3-5 and 4-5dominoes in some order. The 5 at g1, then, can't b€long to the3-5 or 4-5 domino, so it's part of the 2-5 domino, which forcesthe 2'4 domino to its right. Now the 2 at e7 can only be pail ofthe l-2 domino (as we've aheady found the 2-4 elsewhere).Similarly, the 2 at h5 can only be part of the 2-3 domino. Nowthere is only one spot for the 2-2 and 3-3 dominoes, along thetop edge. Neither of the 4's at e6 and f5 can be connected tothe 4 at f6 (which would leave an area of five squares in thelower right comer which could never be evenly divided into

'domino€s), and these two 4's can't both be linked to 6's, so oneor tho other must be linked to the 5 at e5. Then the 5 atgT can'tbe pah ofthe 4-5 domino, so it's part of the 3-5 domino, whichforces the 1-4 and 4-4 dominoes to its sides. Now there is onlyone spot for the 3-4 (at d2-e2), forcing the 3-6 and 0-0 nearby.With these in place, there is only onespot for each of the 1-3 and 0-4dominoes (at e3-e4 and b3-b2), thelatter forcing the 1-5 to its left and thel-l and 0-l to its righl. With these inplace, there is only one spot for the0-3, 1-6, and 5'5 dominoes, and thisforces the locations of all theremaining dominoes. In summary:

CIRCLE OFWOMEN PAGE 36The first two women to introduce themselves were Joanne aldKiandra respectively, who both sat in chairs (clues l, 2, andl4). No matter which two consecutive chairs they sat in, onesofa was occupied by either the third-fou h-fifth women or thefourth-fifth-sixth women, and the other was occuoied bv eitherthe eighti-ninth-tenth women orthe ninth-tenth-ele;enft women;in any case, the fourth, fifth, ninth, and tenth women to speaksat on sofas. TlJe fourth and fifth women were Mabel and Nonarespectively, and their last names are Blaine and Effingham insome order (clue 3). The ninth and tenth women were Ayersand Glass respectively (clue 6). Lyn and Dobson sat,side byside on one sofa (clue 9); this wasn't the sofa that Mabel andNona sat on (since neither can be Dobson), so it was the sofathat Ayers and Glass sat on, and Dobson was eighth oreleventhto speak. But eleventh was Stone (clue 7), so Dobson waseighth. Lyn, then, is Ayers (clue 9). Since one sofa held theeighth-linth-tenth women, and the first and second womenwgre in chabs, the other sofa can only have held the third-fourth-fifthwomen. Thus the fi-rst woman to speak-Joanne-sat in seat #5.The seventh woman was Townsend and the eighth was Ruth (clue5). The four maried women (clue 14) include Kiandra (clue 2)and Stone (clue 7); Ruth Dobson and Lyn Ayers are both single(since they sat on a sofa-{lue 14), so Townsend is married(clue 5) and Glass is single (clue 6): the remaining marriedwoman is Ivy, who sat on a sofa (clue 14) and therefore canonly be the woman in seal #?, the third to speak. Colby canonly be Joanne in seat #5 (clue l0). Blaine isn't Nona in seat#9 (ctues 3 and l2), so she's Mabel, and Nona is Effingham.The woman in seat #10, sixth to speak, wasn't Fox or Volpone(ctue 4), so she was Zapata. Ivy, in seat #7 on a sofa, isn't Fox(clue 4), so she's Volpone, and by elimination Kiandra is Fox.There are now four women whose first names we haven'tidentified: Zapata in seaa #10, Townsend in #11, Gtass in #3,and Stone in #4; they are Heidi, Olivia, Patti, and Qula in someorder. Of these four, Zapata, Townsend, and Stone sat in chain,while Glass sat dn a sofa, so neither Olivia nor Patti can beGlass (clue l3). Zapatais single, so Heidi must be married (clueI l): therefore Class. who is single, can't be Heidi either; soGlass can only by Qula. Qula Glass is single, so Olivia mustalso be married (clue 8). Thus Zapara. who is single, can't beeither Heidi or Otivia. who are marriat Zapata can only be Patti.Olivia isn't Townsend (who sat nexl ro Patri Zapara* clue l3;,so Olivia is Stone, and Heidi is To'*,rxend.

The keyboard was T[esday's purchase (clue 3),and by elimination the printer was Wednesday's. Pascayo can'tbe Monday's or Friday's purchaser (clue 4), so Pascayo shoppedon Tuesday. Thomton shopped on Friday (clue 7), and byelimination Knowles shopped on Monday. Knowles is Zeke(clue 8), so Glenda is Jipescu (clue 4), and by eliminationAlbeno is Thornton. ln summary:

WITHOUT A CLUE PAGE 38Each player held exactly three cards (introduction). Clive didn'thold the lead pipe (clue 2) or the hall (clue 6), so he heldScarlett (clue 5); he didn't hold Green (clue 2) or the lounge(clue 1l), so he held the candlestick (clue i). Esmeralda didn'thold the rope (clue 12), so she held the conservatory (clue 8).Clive didn't hold the knife (clue 6), so his third card was White(clue 16), and he held no other ca.rds but these. One of Arbuckle'scards was either Peacock or the dining room (clue 3); anotherwas eithii Mustard, the wrench, or the study (clue 7); and athird was either Green, the lead pipe, or the kitchen (clue 9);he had no other cards but these, so he must have had the diningroom (clue 14). If Arbuckle didn't havE the wrench, he wouldhave had both the kitchen (clue 4) andCreen (clue 13), and histhree cards would be Green, the dining room, and the kitchen,which is impossible (he must also have had one card from clue7): so Arbuckle had the wrench. Thus two ofhis cards were thewrench and the dining room, and the third was either Green,the lead pipe, or the kitchen (clue 9). One of Babette's cardswas either Mustard or the billiard room (clue 10); another waseither Plum, the rope, or the study (clue 12); and a third waseither the revolver or the balhoom (clue 15); so she had noother cards but tirese. Peacock wasn't held by Florian (clue 3),Dahlia, or Esmeralda (clue 6); since.no one had Peacock, thiscard represented the murderer. Green wasn't hetd by Dahlia(clue 2), Esmeralda, or Florian (clue l3), and Green wasn:t themurderer (Peacock was), so Green was Arbuckle's third card.Nbither Mustard nor Plum was held by Dahlia, Esmeralda, orFlorian (clues 7 and l2), so Babette must have held both cards,and her third card was eithe,r the revolver or the ballroom (clue15), The rope wasn't held by Dahlia, Esmeralda, or Florian(clue 12), so no one held it, and it was the murder weapon. Theleadpipe wasn't held by Dahlia (clue 2) or Florian (clue 9), andit wasn'tthe murder weapon (the rope was), so Esmeralda musthave held it. The knife wasn't held by Dahlia or Esmeralda(ctue 6), so Florian must have held it. We knqw Dahlia held nosuspects, so she must haye held at least one weapon (or shewould have held three rooms, which is impossible-'--clue 17)ltherefore Dahlia held the revolver, the only weapon unaccountedfor. Babette, then, held the ballroom (clue l5). Th€ study wasn'theld by Dahlia, Esmeralda, or Florian (clue 7), so no one held

it, and it was the scene ofthecrime. The lounge wasn'theldbyEsmeralda or Florian (clue 13), and it wasn't the scene of thecrime (the study was), so Dahlia must have held it. NeitherDahlia nor Esmeralda held the hall (clue 6), so Florian held it.Neither Dahlia nor Florian held fte library (clue 2), so Esmeraldaheld it, and we know all thee ofhercards. Florian didn't holdthe kitchen (clue 9), so Dahlia held it, accounting for all threeof her cards. By elimination, Florian's third card was thebilliard room. In summary:

Arbuckle: Mr. Green, wrench, dining roomBabette; Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, ballroomCtive: Miss Scarlett, Mrs. White, candlestickDahlia: revolver, kitchen, loungeEsmeralda: lead pipe, conservatory, libraryFlorian: knife, billiard room, hall

The murder was committed by Mrs. Peacock with the rope inthe study.

The woman on the south side didn't sit in seat 9(or no two men would have sat across from each other, whichis impossible---clue 8), so she must have sat in seat 8, and Mr.Glass and Mr. Zigmond sat in seats 7 and 9 in some order (clue7); by elimination a man sat in seat 10. The man in seat 9 (eitherMr. Glass or Mr. Zigmond----clue 7) must be Dave, and the manin seat 3 is Mr. Fischer (ctue 8). Mrs. Fischer, then, sat on thqsouth side (clue 2), so she was the woman in seat 8.

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A BEAUTIFUL BABY PAGE 42There are three consecutive photos mentioned in clue 1, andanother three mentioned in clue 2; either these two groups areentilely separate, or they overlap. If they don't overlap, thenone group appeared Monday through Wednesday and the othergroup appeared Thursday through Saturday. Ifthe three in clueI appeared Monday lhrough Wednesday, then Cliflon's pholowould have appeared Wednesday (clue 1) and the mayor's onThursday (clue 2); Clifton wouldn't be the police chief (clue4) and wasn't shown on a blanket (clue 3), so clue 9 woqld beimpossible. If the th-ree in clue 2 appeared Monday throughWednesday, then Gregory's photo would have appeared Wednesday(ctue 2) and the fire chief's on Thursday (clue 1); Gregorywouldn't be the police chief (clue 4) and the fire chief isn'tJessica (clue 1l ), so again clue 9 would be impossible. Thereforethe two groups in clues I and 2 must overlap. Gregory isn't thechild posed in the bathtub (clue 5), and the mayor is neitheiClifton nor the child in the bathtub (clue 10) so the only waythe two groups in clues 1 ar.d 2 car. overlap is if on fiveconsecutive days photos appeared of the mayor, the child onthe rocking horse, fiie chief Gregory, the child in the bathtub,and Clifton. The child on the rocking horse isn't Jessica (clue11), and Clifton wasn't posed on th€ blanket (clue 3), so theonly way the three photos mentioned in clue 9 can overlap th€sefiye is if the child on the rocking horse is the police chief,Gregory was posed on tlrc blanket, and the ctlild in the trathtub isJessica. These five photos didn't app€ar Tuesday tfuough Sanfday(since the police chief's didn't app€ar on Wednesday---clue 4), sothey appeared Monday thiough Friday.

Julie's wasn'tJohn Johnson (clue 2), so he was John Jones. Jessica's boy-friend wasn't John Johnson (clues I and 5) or John Roberts(clues 5 and 8), so he was John Smith. Alicia's wasn't JohnJohnson (clue l), so he was John Robens, and John Johnsonwas Barb's boyfriend. The relationship that lasted three monthstclue a) wasnl Alicia's wirh John Robens or Barb's with JohnJohnson (clue 1), Julie's with John Jones (clue 7), or Winona'swith John Williams (clues 2 and 7), as all four of these romanceslasted evennumbers ofmonths: so the tfuee-month relationshiDwas Jessica's. lrr r equal lhe length in monrhs of the romalciof the woman who claimed to be taking religious vows, and pequal the lengrh in months of the romance of the woman whbclaimed to have taken a psychic's advice.

If lhe woman taking a psychic's advicewere Jessica. then Alicia's and Barb's romances woJld havelasted six alld 12 months respectively; the 24-month romance(clue 5) could only be Winona's, and Julie's would have lasted€ight months; but then the value of r would be four, and yetnone of the five romances would have lasted four months:-sothis is impossible. lf the woman la-k ing a psychic's advice wereWinona, thenp would equal 6r, so Barb's romance would havelasted 24r months; thert / would have to equal one (or Barb'sromance would have lasted more than 24 months--clue 5),which is impossible (since we know the shonest romance wasthree months long). So the woman taking a psychic's advicecan.only be Jdlie, and therefore p equals 2r. So Alicia's andBarb's romances lasted 4r and 8r months respectively; and byelimination the woman who claimed to be taking religious vowscan only be Jessica. Thus Julie's, Alicia's,- Winona's, andBarb's romances lasted six, 12, 18, and 24 months respectively.The woman citing her boyfriend's obsession with baseball wasBarb (clue 3), and the woman claiming to have found someon€new wasn't Alicia (ilue 6), so she was Winona.

or less, the greatest possible sum of all seven days' totals wouldbe 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 1'7 = 98, which is alsoimpossible. So Monday's sum was 14 or less; and Sunday's sumwas 18 or more. Therefore Bamaby's Monday room number wasat most 13, and Dorabella's Sunday room number was at least3. Bamaby's Monday and Dorabella's Sunday numbers, then,must be 12 and 4, or 9 and 3, respectively (clue 15)' If the latter,then Sunday's total couldn't be greater than 18 (if Barnaby hadroom 15 that day), so that the greatest possible total for the

'weekwould be 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18 = 105-bittas Bamaby would have used room 15, Ralphts room numbercould be at the most 14, matring the maximum total ofthe 15 roomnumbers only 119-an impossibility. So Bamaby slept in room12 on Monday, and Dorabella in room 4 on Sunday. ThusMonday's total is at least 13, and Sunday's total is at mostlg-and then the only possible totals for the seven days are

13-14-15-16-17-18-19. Since these seven totals add up to1.12, Ralph's bedroom must be ropm 8. Dorabella must haveslept in room 1 on Monday, and Bamaby in room 15 on SundayrRoom 7 wasn't oicupied on Tuesday thmugh Friday (or thatday's total would be between 14 and 17, making the other roomnumber between 7 and 10, and the two looms would be on thesame floor, which is impossibte---clue 4), so room 7 wasoccupied on Saturday, and the other room occupied that daywas room 11. Then the only possible pair of rooms for Friday,with a total of l?, is room 3 and room 14; Bamaby had room3 and Dorabella had room 14 (clue l2). The only possible pairof rooms for Thursday' with a total of 16, is room 6 and room10. The only possible pairofrooms for Wednesday, with a totalof 15, is room 2 and room 13; Barnaby had room 2 andDorabella had room 13 (clue 12). By elimination, Bamaby andDorabella had rooms 5 and 9 in some order on Tuesday. Room8 was gold and turquoise (clue 6). Dorabella stayed in thecrimson and gold room between Monday and Thursday (cluel0); the crimson and gold room can't be room l, 5, 9, 10, or 13

(clue 3), so it can only be room 6. Thus Dorab€lla had room 6

on Thursday. and Bamaby had room 10. Room l5 was emeraldand peach (clue l0). Someone slept two consecutive nights on

I l), so Edward is the fifth man. Ventura can't be Edward (clue4), so Ventura is a woman; she isn't Deena (Ventura had oneWednesday lesson----{lue 4-and Deena had none --clue 9) orLillian (Ventura had three lessons----clue 4-and Liltian hadtwo----{lue 5), so Ventura is Jill. Jill Ventura and Bradley hadthe lessons on the 8th and 22nd in some order (clue 7). Kleinerand Lillian, then, had lessons on two of the following fourpossiblepain ofdates:4th-8fi, l lth-l5th, 15th- l9th, and 18th-22nd(clue 5); the two pairs of dates can't include both I lth- l5th andl5th-l9th (or both Kleiner and Lillian would have had lessonson the 15th), so they include at least one of 4th-8th and18th-22nd; and in any case, Lillian had at least one lesson oneither the 8th or the 22ntl; so Lillian must be Bradley (clue 7).Fitzpatrick and Kleiner, then, are men (clue 1l). Deena isn'tGrauer (clue 9), so Deena car only be Stuart, and by elimi-nation Edward is Grauer. Kleiner isn't Adam (clues 3 and 5) orMatt (clues 5 and 6), and Zaines isn't Adam (clue 12) or Matt(clues 6 and 12), so Kleiner and Zaines are Harold and Xavierin some order, and Wolf and Fitzpatrick are Adam and Matt insome order. Wolf, then, had at least three lessons (Matt hadthree---clue 6-and Adam at least four----clue 3). Jill Ventura,then, can't havs had a lesson on the 22nd (or there wouldn't beenough lesson days for Wolf's lessons 'clue l0), so she hadthe lesson on the 8th, and Lillian Bradley had the lesson on the22nd (clue ?). Kleiner, then, had a lesson on the 18th (clue 5).The other Kleiner-Bradley pair of lessons can't be l5th-l9lh(since we know Kleiner is a man and didn't have a lesson onany of the first three Wednesdays---{lue I l), so il can only be11lh-l5th. Zaines had lessons on the 4th and 5th (clue 12).Since two of Edward Grauer's three lessons (clue 8) were onWednesdays, Deena Stuart can only have taken one lessonduring the month, and it was on the same day as EdwardGrauer's remaining lesson (clue 9). If Jill Ventura's tfueelessons wcre on the 8th, l1th, and l2th (clue 4), then Wolfcouldn't be Matt (clues 6 and l0), so Wolf would be Adam;Adam Wolf would haye had at least four lessons (clue 3), whichcould only be on tlie l8th, 19th, 25th, and 26th (clue 10); butthen there would be no day on which the Signora's two pupilscould be Deena Stuart and Edward Grauer (clue 9). So JillVentura's lessons were either on the 4th, 5th, and Sth, or elsethe 5th,8th, and llth; in either case, she had. a lesson on the5th. Matt's three Sunday lessons, then, were oir the 12th, 19th,and 26th (since we already krow he isn'l Zaines-clue 6). Nowthe day on which the two pupils were Deena Stuart and EdwardGrauer (clue 9) can only be the 25th. Xavier had a lesson onthe 26th (clue 2). Xavier, then, can'f be Kleiner (whose onlytwo lessons we know were on the 1lth and 18th), so Xavier isZaines, and Kleiner is Harold. Adam had at least four lessons(clue 3), and the only possible dates for him are the 4th, 11th,12th, l8th, and l9th, so he had at least one lesson on thesame date as Harold Kleiner (the 1lth and/or the l8th); there-forei Adam isn't Fitzpatrick (clue 1), so Adam is Wolf, andFitzDaftick is Matt. Adam Wolf's lessons, then, must havebeen on the llth, i2th, 18th, and 19th, and Jill Ventura'swere on the 4th, 5th, and 8th (clue 10), In summary:

Wednesday, January 1, Edward C'rauerSaturday, January 4, Jill Ventura and Xavier ZainesSunday, January 5, Jill Ventura and Xavier ZainesWednesday. January 8.
