Wednesday Logic Problem: Salads and Shakes With Interesting People



Five P-mag writers were sent out to interview five interesting people, over shakes and salads.

Note: This will be the last WLP until after Middlemarch Madness, which starts next Monday.

With the clues below, can you determine which writer (one is M.J.) interviewed which interesting person (one is Kerry Washington) while sipping on which flavor milkshake (one is strawberry) and which type of salad (one is apple salad), and which day of the week the interview happened?  Following the clues, you can find a link to a printable PDF with a solving grid and the list of clues. The answers are under the spoiler toggle at the end of the post. Happy solving!

  1. A pair drank strawberry milkshakes the night before one of the writers interviewed Mae Jemison.
  2. Dormouse did not interview an interesting person on Friday.
  3. The five milk shake flavors are the one drank with Idris Elba, cookies and cream, the one served with spinach salad, the one drank by Sara H., and the one drank on Friday, which was not served with a wedge salad.
  4. The chocolate milkshake was drank two nights before Linotte interviewed an interesting person.
  5. Neither Zahra’s milkshake or the vanilla milkshake were drank with Patrick Stewart.
  6. The Caesar salad, which wasn’t served with a vanilla milkshake, was not eaten with Patrick Stewart.
  7. Someone interviewed Kerry Washington the night before M.J. interviewed someone, which was the night before people drank banana milk shakes, which weren’t served with either the apple salad or the Caesar salad.

    This is how behind I am on reading P-Mag in my Google Reader. I only just now realized that I factored into last week’s logic problem!
