WoD Logic Contest

Postby Drocket on Sun Feb 29, 2004 6:23 am

Since the server is down (yet AGAIN), I'm going to run another contest. This one should be a good deal shorter than the previous ones that I've done (the word puzzle ones) because it has an actual solution, and the first person to email me with it wins (a Benson Potion.)

Judy is an Alchemist/Scribe (yes, she's a tradeskill mule), and she has an absolutely terrible memory (a couple of years ago, she failed to create a humuculous 27 times in a row, and has never fully recovered from the side effects.)

Today, she had 4 customers come to her, and each one asked her to create for them both a potion and a scroll, and they all gave her a .own'ed bag to put them in when she's done. She remembers what was ordered, but unfortunately, she has no idea who ordered what. Your job is to help her complete her orders.

The 4 customers: Bill, Jill, Sam, Sarah
The scrolls ordered: Polymorph, Gate, Recall, Chain Lightning
The potions: Greater Heal, Greater Cure, Greater Strength and Full Refresh

And here's what Judy remembers about the orders:
*Bill ordered sometime before the person who bought the Refresh potion (not necessarily immediately before, though), and sometime after the person who bought the Chain Lighting scroll
*The Strength potion was ordered before the Polymorph scroll, which was before Sarah ordered
*The person who bought the Chain Lightning scroll was a man
*The person who bought the Polymorph scroll was not the person who bought the Refresh potion
*The person who ordered the cure potion came in after the person who bought the Gate scroll, who came in after Sam
*One of the women bought the Polymorph potion
*Neither Sam nor Jill bought the strength potion

Hopefully I've gotten all this right. If I have, you SHOULD be able to figure out who bought what. Send your answers to me at drocket@drocket.net with the title "WoD Logic Puzzle". Put your answer in the form of:
Name, Scroll, Potion
for each of the 4 customers. Include your WoD accountname and the name you want me to post here (if you win.) You can only send in one answer, so make it count :)

And we have a winner! Atei was the first (and so far only) person who solve the puzzle and send me the answer. Hopefully I'll be able to get you your prize tomorrow.

I'm not going to post the answer yet (probably tomorrow) to give everyone a chance to work it out on their own. If we have any more server problems, I may make some more similar puzzles, so I may as well give people a chance to get some practice :)
