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?

Puzzle 7

This BrainBashers safe has a rather unusual control panel.

In order to open the safe, you have to press every single square once only, in the correct sequence, ending on the square marked E.

Each square indicates which square to press next, for example, 2U means move up 2 squares and 3R means move right 3 squares.

Can you determine which square you must start with?

Note: this puzzle is not interactive, and the safe buttons cannot be clicked.

Puzzle 8

I recently gave a new watch to my friend for their birthday.

However, as usual with my presents, it was quite useless as it gains 6 minutes every hour.

I set it using my own accurate clock at midnight, and the watch now shows 8:26am.

I know that it stopped 30 minutes ago, so what is the correct time now?
