At Nita's Water Ice
Five employees from neighboring stores enjoy Nita's Water Ice treats.
August 27, 2007
Three of the Nita's customers are listed in consecutive order in both clues 4 and 6: one person bought a Lemon Ice, then Kerrie made a purchase, and then the Lou's Pizza employee was in Nita's (clue 4); while the TTT Cellular employee, Jeff, and the one who enjoyed a Coffee Custard came in consecutively (6). There must be some commonality between the clues: either Jeff bought the Lemon Ice or Jeff works at Lou's Pizza. If Jeff had bought the Lemon Ice, combining clues 4 and 6, four consecutive customers would have been the TTT Cellular employee, Jeff (buying the Lemon Ice), Kerrie (having a Coffee Custard), and the Lou's Pizza worker. Since Ian doesn't work at Lou's Pizza (7), by clue 2, Ian would have been the 1st customer; and the ITT Cellular employee would have had an Oreo Mint Blendo. However, there is no way for clue 3 to work given this ordering. In clues 4 and 6, then, four customers in consecutive order were the person who had a Lemon Ice, Kerrie from the TTT Cellular store, Jeff from Lou's Pizza, and the person who bought a Coffee Custard. By clue 3, either the 1st customer bought a Mango Gelati or Jeff had a Mango Gelati. If the 1st customer had the Mango Gelati, the Cutz Salon employee would have bought a Lemon Ice (3). However, since Ian doesn't work at the Cutz Salon (7), there is no way for clue 2 to work given this arrangement. So, Jeff enjoyed a Mango Gelati; and the Cutz Salon employee bought a Coffee Custard (3). Since Ian doesn't work at Cutz (7), by clue 2, Ian bought a Lemon Ice; and Kerrie had an Oreo Mint Blendo. Since Monique didn't have a Coffee Custard (1), by clue 5, she was Friday's 5th customer with the Cutz employee 4th; and Ian works at Exotic Pets. By elimination, Lisa works at Cutz; while Monique works at Boardwalk Subs and had a Chocolate Cherry Mist. In sum, Friday's first five customers at Nita's Water Ice were

  • 1st -- Ian, Exotic Pets, Lemon Ice
  • 2nd -- Kerrie, TTT Cellular, Oreo Mint Blendo
  • 3rd -- Jeff, Lou's Pizza, Mango Gelati
  • 4th -- Lisa, Cutz Salon, Coffee Custard
  • 5th -- Monique, Boardwalk Subs, Chocolate Cherry Mist
