Tiddlywink Meetings
Since Ross was elected president of the Tiddlywink Association, his days seem to be filled with meetings. And to make matters worse, his new assisitant is a scatter-brain who can't keep anything organized. I asked the assistant for a meeting with Ross and she said, "Jeez! I don't think he has any free time today. I'm trying to sort it all out now."
I glanced at the assistant's work area ... there were scraps of paper with notes all over her desk.
The notes:
1. Ross's first meeting is at 9:30AM, but that isn't the 'tournament' meeting, which will take place on the 4th floor.
2. He will not be meeting Curtis Paulson on the 3rd floor or at 10AM, but he'll be on the 5th floor for his 11AM meeting.
3. The meeting with Cam Stephens about 'tournament registration' is the one immediately before that on the 3rd floor.
4. Knightmare Johnson's office is on the 2nd floor, where Ross will be immediately before his meeting on the 6th floor.
5. The last name of the person he is meeting at 2PM to discuss 'violators of tournament rules' is longer than that of the person with whom he'll be discussing the new 'tournament judge'.
6. Ross's meeting with Chris Smith is not about 'complaints'.
7. Karl Sprighton is one of the people Ross will meet with today.
8. The last meeting of the day will be at 4PM.
It is now 8:30AM ...
Will you help Ross's assistant organize his itenerary for the day ... so he will be at the right meeting at the correct time? His itenerary should include:
Meeting time
Which floor of the building the meeting is on
The person who requested the meeting
and
The topic to be discussed

<3 The name "Tiddlywink Association." It just made me laugh ^.^
On to the puzzle now that my random thought is out of the way.
5 floors-2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th
5 people-Curtis Paulson, Cam Stephens, Knightmare Johnson, Chris Smith, Karl Sprighton
5 topics-Complaints, tournament registration, Tournament Judge, Tournament rules, tournament
4 times-9:30AM, 10AM, 11AM, 2PM
So he has 5 meetings, 5 people, 5 floors, but 4 times.
Hmmmmmmmmm. It might be important, because 2 of the hints talk about the last one of the day...is the last time before or after 2PM? Seeing as I was really struggling with this one, I think that might be necessary information :(
I'll check back tomorrow after school and see if anything has changed, so I can try this puzzle again!
thanks solianar ...
you must be a big tiddlywinks player :)
Yes, there is a meeting at 4PM ... I will add the meeting to the problem statement
Hi...here's the solution I got...
Knightmare J -> 9.30 A.M. on second floor -> Complaints
Chris Smith -> 10 A.M. on sixth floor -> Tournament judge
Cam Stephens -> 11 A.M. on fifth floor -> Tournament registration
Karl Sprighton -> 2 P.M. on third floor -> Violators of Tournament rules
Curtis Paulson -> 4 P.M. on fourth floor -> Tournament
