Brown, who is more conservative than Jones but more liberal than Smith, is a better golfer than the men who are younger than he is and has a larger income than the men who are older than Clark. The banker, who earns more than the architect, is neither the youngest nor the oldest. The doctor, who is a poorer golfer than the lawyer, is less conservative than the architect. As might be expected, the oldest man is the most conservative and has the largest income, and the youngest man is the best golfer. -=Yesterday's Answer: Yes, Yes, Yes - The first to answer "Yes" must have been told a letter that occurred only once in the list. (H, R, P, D, or V) The second logician knew this, which eliminated the word TOE. Then the second logician knew what the word was if told T or E, or if told the second letter of PAD that occurred only once in the list: P or D. The third logician knew that the first was told H, R, P, D, or V, and that the second was told either T, E, P, or D. So the third knew what the word was if told O, but would not know if told A. Then rather than PAD or VAT, the letters spelled HOE. -- Two rules in life: 1. Don't tell people everything you know. 2.
