Paintballing Weekend - Logic Puzzles
During an exciting weekend of paintball, four friends were having great fun.
The paintballs came in blue, green, yellow and red.
Coincidentally, the four friends had T-shirts in those same colours.
Billie used blue paintballs.
The person in the green T-shirt used yellow paintballs.
Charlie was not wearing a red T-shirt.
Drew used green paintballs and wore a blue T-shirt.
Alex was the only person who used paint which was the same colour as their T-shirt.
Can you tell which colour paint they each used and the colour of their respective T-shirts?

Hint
Start by using clues (1) and (4), and then look at clues (5) and (2) to find who wore the green T-shirt.
Answer
Wore Paint
Alex red red
Billie yellow blue
Charlie green yellow
Drew blue green
Reasoning
By (1), Billie used Blue paintballs:
Wore Paint
Alex
Billie blue
Charlie
Drew
By (4), Drew used Green paintballs and wore a Blue T-shirt:
Wore Paint
Alex
Billie blue
Charlie
Drew blue green
By (5), Alex was the only person who used paint that was the same colour as their T-shirt, which means by (2) that Charlie wore the Green T-shirt and used Yellow paintballs:
Wore Paint
Alex
Billie blue
Charlie green yellow
Drew blue green
This leaves Alex with the Red paintballs, and by (1), the Red T-shirt.
Wore Paint
Alex red red
Billie blue
Charlie green yellow
Drew blue green
Leaving Billie wearing Yellow.

Alex red red
Billie yellow blue

Hint
Look at the letter positions in the alphabet.
Answer
R.
If you take the alphabetic positions of each letter in a row, the total is always 56.
Double-Checking
Y + G + W + A = 25 + 7 + 23 + 1 = 56
K + L + R + O = 11 + 12 + 18 + 15 = 56
Z + J + P + D = 26 + 10 + 16 + 4 = 56
V + F + T + H = 22 + 6 + 20 + 8 = 56
Puzzle 8
Boat Club Boats - Logic Puzzles
At the local model boat club, four friends were talking about their boats.
There were a total of eight boats, two in each colour: red, green, blue, and yellow.
Each friend owned two boats, and no friend had two boats of the same colour.
Alex didn't have a yellow boat.
Billie didn't have a red boat, but did have a green one.
One of the friends had a yellow boat and a blue boat.
Another friend had a green boat and a blue boat.
Charlie had a yellow boat.
Drew had a blue boat, but didn't have a green one.
Can you work out which friends had which coloured boats?

Hint
Try to find Drew's boat colours first.
Answer
Alex Red + Green
Billie Green + Blue
Charlie Yellow + Red
Drew Blue + Yellow
Reasoning
By (3), Yellow and Blue went together (Combination1: Yellow + Blue).
By (4), Green and Blue went together (Combination2: Green + Blue).
By (2), Billie had Green. By (5), Charlie had Yellow. By (6), Drew had Blue. Giving:
Alex
Billie Green
Charlie Yellow
Drew Blue
By (6), Drew had Blue, but not Green. This can't have been (Combination2: Green + Blue), so must have been (Combination1: Yellow + Blue):
Alex
Billie Green
Charlie Yellow
Drew Blue + Yellow
By (2), Billie didn't have Red, so Alex and Charlie must have had Red:
Alex Red
Billie Green
Charlie Yellow + Red
Drew Blue + Yellow
Which means that Billie had (Combination2: Green + Blue), and Alex had Green:
Alex Red + Green
Billie Green + Blue
Charlie Yellow + Red
Drew Blue + Yellow
