| Neither Vin (clue 1), Roger (5), nor John (8) was the 4th or 5th man to look
at Lady Godiva on her ride; so Hugh and Samson were 4th and 5th or vice versa,
while Vin, Roger, and John were 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in some order. Neither
the man who peeked at the naked lady as she passed The Shambles (1), High
Street (5), nor the Wool Market (8) was the 1st or 5th to see her, so the
men who watched at Banbury Cross and Cathedral Close were 1st and 5th or
vice versa. Hugh saw Lady Godiva at neither of the latter two spots (2) and
thus wasn't the 5th to peep at her; he was 4th, with Samson 5th. Neither the
pardoner (clue 1), innkeeper (5), nor beggar (8) was the 1st or 2nd to sneak
a peek at Lady Godiva, so the baker and minstrel were, in some order. If the
baker had been the 1st and the minstrel 2nd, by clues 1 and 6, Vin would have been
3rd to look, the man who saw her pass The Shambles would have been 4th, and the
pardoner would have been 5th--in Cathedral Close (7). Then the baker would have
glimpsed the lady at Banbury Cross--no (4). So, the minstrel was 1st of the five to view
her ladyship, with the baker 2nd. Since Samson wasn't the beggar (3), John
wasn't 3rd to see her naked lady (8); nor was the John the baker (4). John
was 1st to peek at Lady Godiva. If Roger had been the 3rd voyeur on the
route, by clue 5, the sneak peek on High Street would have been the 4th
look and the innkeeper would have been Samson. Vin would have seen her 2nd, the
man in The Shambles 3rd, and the pardoner 4th (1). However, the one who saw
Lady Godiva ride through The Shambles would have been the beggar--no (3).
So, Vin was the 3rd Coventry citizen to peep at Lady Godiva, with the man
in The Shambles and the pardoner then 4th and 5th (1). By elimination,
Roger saw milady 2nd. By clue 5, then, Vin glimpsed her nude form on High
Street and Hugh was the innkeeper. Vin was the beggar. Roger saw Lady
Godiva pass the Wool Market (8). Samson the pardoner stole a look at the
naked rider in Cathedral Close (7); John peeped at her at Banbury Cross.
In sum, the five other peepers saw Lady Godiva on her ride through the
streets of Coventry before Peeping Tom did as follows:
- 1st - John the minstrel at Banbury Cross
- 2nd - Roger the baker at the Wool Market
- 3rd - Vin the beggar in High Street
- 4th - Hugh the innkeeper in The Shambles
- 5th - Samson the pardoner in Cathedral Close
