Hey Guys,
My 11 year old brother has been given an activity to do for his homework and I have been rattling my brains for over an hour with it. Thought i might post it here because i'm sure some of you would give it a go, it's comparable in difficulty to the god tower if any one remembers that little game on the internet
.
In a plane flying to london, five passengers are seated in a row next to each other.
(they are written in no order)
Their professions are:
Journalist, singer, teacher, sailer, engineer
Their nationalities in any order are:
English, French, German, Italian, Dutch
Their ages are:
21, 24, 32, 40, 52
And each of them plays one of the following sports:
Handball, Swimming, Volleyball, Athletics, Football
They will each travel from london to a different destination:
Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Plymouth
Now time for the clues...
Clue 1 - The engineer is sat on the extreme left
Clue 2 - The volleyball player is seated in the middle
Clue 3 - The englishman is a journalist
Clue 4 - The singer is 21 years old
Clue 5 - The teachers sport is swimming
Clue 6 - The sailor is travelling to plymouth
Clue 7 - The handball player is french
Clue 8 - The passenger from holland is going to birmingham
Clue 9 - The passenger going to liverpool is 32 years old
Clue 10 - The athlete is going to newcastle
Clue 11 - The french passenger is sat next to the german
Clue 12 - The 52 year old is seated next to the passenger going to manchester
Clue 13 - The 24 year old passenger is seated next to the passenger going to birmingham
Clue 14 - The engineer is seated next to the italian.
And now the questions.
1. How old is the Sailor?
2. What is the nationality of the football player?
Please note i'm not asking anyone to do it for him since that would be cheating I just thought that it might make an interesting thread to see if we can solve it
