At a recent motorsport gathering, four proud owners were gathered around the silver sports car, each discussing their pride and joy.
Alex was overheard bragging about his brand new Stellar. The person whose surname was Smith went to great lengths to explain to Billie the virtues of his blue Lunar. The person whose surname was Wilshaw, and Dale, were already good friends. The person whose surname was Richards showed everyone a recent photo of his red Orbital. The person whose surname was Stone listened intently while Charlie kept talking about his green Galactic.
Who owns which car?
Reasoning
By (2) the Lunar was Blue, and was owned by Mr Smith.
By (4) the Orbital was Red, and was owned by Mr Richards.
By (5) the Galactic was Green, and was owned by Charlie.
Therefore the Stellar was silver, and by (1) was owned by Alex. Smith Blue Lunar RichardsRed Orbital Charlie Green Galactic Alex Silver Stellar
By (2), Mr Smith wasn't called Billie, so it must have been Billie Richards, and Dale Smith.
By (5) Mr Stone wasn't called Charlie, so it must have been Charlie Wilshaw, and Alex Stone. Dale Smith Blue Lunar Billie RichardsRed Orbital Charlie Wilshaw Green Galactic Alex Stone Silver Stellar
Reasoning
A dozen is 12, but a baker's dozen is usually 13.
So a dozen (12) baker's dozen (13) = 12 x 13 = 156.
There are 24 hours in a day, and 7 days in a week.
So there are 24 x 7 hours in a week = 168.
