| From the introduction, Jim had appointments at 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00 a.m.
and at 1:00 and 2:00 p.m. By clue 2, his appointment at the Morris house
was two hours earlier than his visit to the house on School Ave.; while by
clue 10, his appointment to restore TV service was two hours before his
trip to the house on Church Blvd. Therefore, either the trip to the Morrises
or the appointment to restore TV service was at 9:00 with the other of the
two at 11:00 a.m. If the appointment to repair the TV connection were at
9:00 a.m. and the appointment at the Morris home at 11:00, the trip to
Church Blvd. would have been at 11:00 (clue 10) and the one to School Ave.
would have been at 1:00 (2). By clue 3, the appointment to repair telephone
service would have been at 1:00 with the Pearson visit at 2:00. Neither
the Pearsons (1) nor the Church Ave. address (8) was having internet
problems, so the family having trouble with their internet connectivity had
the 10:00 appointment. By clue 7, then, Jim would have been at the Hansons
at 1:00 and at Airport Way at 2:00. By clue 6, his first stop would have
been on Elm St., to repair the TV connection--no (4). Therefore, Jim's
first stop wasn't at the house with problems with TV service and was at
the Morris house and his appointment on School Ave. at 11:00 (2). The
TV repair was at 11:00 and the trip to Church Blvd. at 1:00 in clue 10.
Neither the appointment on Valley Rd. (6) nor the one on Airport Way (7)
was at 9:00, so the one on Elm St. was. By clue 7, the Hansons had the
1:00 and the family on Airport Way the 2:00 appointment; the 10:00 was
on Valley Rd. Neither the Pearsons (1) nor the Jensons (5) is the
family on School Ave. who had problems with their TV service, so the
Nixons are. In clue 3, the family whose telephone connection was down
had either the 9:00 or the 1:00 appointment. If they had the 9:00 and
the Pearsons then the 10:00, neither the Pearsons (1), the family on
Airport Way (7), nor the Hansons on Church Blvd. (8) would have had
problems with their internet service. So, the family whose telephone
connection was down had the 1:00 appointment and the Pearsons then had
the 2:00 (3). By elimination, the Jensons had the 10:00 appointment.
Neither the Morrises on Elm St. (4) nor the Jensons (9) is the family
who had Noncomcast installed, so the Pearsons did. Finally, by clue 11,
the Morrises were having internet problems and the Jensons had a faulty
modem. In sum, cable repairman Jim Carey's five appointments on
Saturday were
- 9:00 -- Morris, Elm St., internet connection problem
- 10:00 -- Jenson, Valley Rd., faulty modem
- 11:00 -- Nixon, School Ave., TV service problem
- 1:00 -- Hanson, Church Blvd., telephone connection problem
- 2:00 -- Pearson, Airport Way, install Noncomcast cable
