Can you fill the thermometers with mercury, such that the numbers outside the grid indicate how many cells in each row and column contain mercury.

Mercury always starts filling from the bottom of a thermometer and not every thermometer has to contain mercury.

Shriekville's Ghosts – Logic Puzzles

Five people were all taking a vacation in Shriekville, unfortunately, all of their vacations were cut short by a terrifying encounter with a resident ghost.

Can you determine the type of accommodation, its name, and the name of the resident ghost?

Archibald stayed at St George's, he was not frightened off by Macabre Malcolm.
The public house was the home of Chilling Charlie, who frequently turned down the thermostat and then let out gruesome shrieks, chilling everyone to the bone.
Lucas or Archibald's vacation was at the castle. Was Terrifying Tony the resident ghost there?
Charlie went to stay with friends, this was in a bungalow, but it did not have the name Briar Hill. He was not terrified by Bloodcurdling Brian, the ghost that left bloodstained footprints behind.
Billy vacationed at a place named Rosedale, which was not a hotel.
Creepy Craig really did scare Gary, as he was settling down to sleep, by scraping his fingernails on the bedroom window, this was not at a hotel, and it wasn't a place named Avalon.
The bed and breakfast accommodation was not High Lodge, which was also not the castle where Macabre Malcolm was resident.

River Log – Logic Puzzles

One fine morning, twelve intrepid travellers found themselves facing a rather large river that they had to cross.

Luckily, there was a log that they could use to cross the river, but only if they crossed in single file.

Can you figure out who crossed first (and the order in which they all crossed)?

Since they crossed from left to right, the first person to cross is on the right, and the last person to cross is on the left.

The names of the travellers were: Alex, Ashley, Billie, Chris, Jessie, Emery, Logan, Quinn, Riley, Ray, Sam, Taylor.



Sam got on the log three people later than Chris, which means that there were two people between them. Chris got on two people after Logan.
Ray got on the log two people earlier than Emery, who got on two people earlier than Logan, who got on three people earlier than Riley. Ray was not the first one on the log.
Alex got on the log two people after Quinn.
Billie got on three people before Quinn.
Jessie got on the log two people before Taylor. Jessie was not the first one on the log.
Taylor got on just after Emery.
