| Neither Lana (clue 3), Andrew (5), Dan (6), nor Mike (8) writes Saturday's
sports section column for the Summerset Sentinel, so either Greta or
Tony does. By clue 3, Lana's column appears the day before the golf column,
which isn't written by Tony (1) or Greta (9); therefore, Lana's column also
doesn't appear on Fridays. Andrew's column doesn't appear on Fridays (5).
By clue 6, Dan's column is in the newspaper the day before Swift's; since
Swift isn't Greta or Tony (4), Dan's column isn't Friday's. Mike
also doesn't do Friday's column (8). So, Greta and Tony write Friday's and
Saturday's columns or vice versa. If Greta wrote the Saturday and Tony the
Friday sports column, by clue 1, Young would write Thursday's column. By
clue 5, Andrew's, Parker's, and the high school sports columns appear on
consecutive days. Since neither Young (7) nor Greta (9) writes the column
about high school sports, Andrew would write Monday's column and Parker
Tuesday's, with the high school sports column in Wednesday's edition. Since
Tony doesn't write the golf column (1), by clue 3, Lana would write the
column appearing on Wednesdays and Young would write the golf column. Swift
isn't Tony (4), so Dan would write Tuesday's column and Lana would be Swift
(6). Mike would be Young, with Tony then writing about basketball and Greta
being Brady (8). However, there is no way for clue 2 to work given this
arrangement. Therefore, Greta's doesn't write Saturday's column; her work
appears Fridays and Tony's Saturdays. Greta is Young (1). Since Greta doesn't
cover high school sports (9), by clue 5, Andrew's column appears in the
Sentinel on Monday or Tuesday. If Andrew's column were in the paper
Mondays, Parker's would appear Tuesdays and high school sports would be
Wednesday's topic (5). Since Greta doesn't cover golf in her column (9),
by clue 3, Lana would do Wednesday's column and golf would be Thursday's
topic. Dan would be Parker and Lana Swift (6). Mike would write the golf
column, with Greta covering basketball and Tony Brady (8). By clue 10, Dan
would cover football. However, there is no way for clue 11 to work given
this arrangement. Therefore, Andrew's column doesn't appear on Mondays;
it is in the Tueday edition of the Sentinel, with Parker's column
in Wednesday's and the high school sports column in Thursday's. Since
Greta doesn't cover golf in her column (9), by clue 3, Lana does Monday's
column and golf is Andrew's Tuesday topic. Dan is Parker and Swift covers
high school sports (6). Mike is Swift, with Greta covering basketball and
Tony being Brady (8). Dan writes a field and stream column, and Andrew is
columnist Waller (11). Lana Quinn covers football (10). Tony
Brady covers horse racing. In sum, the five sports columns appear in the
Summerset Sentinel as follows:
- Monday -- Lana Quinn, football
- Tuesday -- Andrew Waller, golf
- Wednesday -- Dan Parker, field and stream
- Thursday -- Mike Swift, high school sports
- Friday -- Greta Young, basketball
- Saturday -- Tony Brady, horse racing
