Problem 33 Facial Expressions: Calvin and Leslie got different answers for every question, but so did Joy and Bebe. By comparing their answers to Jason’s (who you know only missed one) you will see that the person who got all five correct had to be either Calvin or Joy.
Problem 34 Colors: Dana got three right. D.J. got two right. They answered every question differently from each other. Since there were only five questions, th
at means that each question was answered correctly by one of them, and missed by the other.
Problem 35 Flowers: Since Bebe and Calvin each got three right, there has to be at least one question that they both answered correctly.
Problem 36 Nations of the World: To determine Benjamin’s grade, you first have to determine the correct answer for each question. Notice that all four gave different answers for question 5. Yet they all missed it. So what must be the answer to question 5? Now move to question 2.
Problem 37 Transportation: The three Erics each answered two questions correctly. Since there are only five questions, that means that there has to be at least one question that at least two Erics answered correctly.
There are no clues for problems 38–52.
Problem 53 Relay Race: There are four on each team. You are told that Leslie and Paul are on a team, and that Sue and Benjamin are on a team. The four of them can’t be on the same team because each team has to have either Todd or Joy.
Problem 54 Sack Race: Begin by trying to figure out in what order Terrence, Jenny, Eric Bacon, and Allison finished.

This shows that some person, ‘x,’ came in fifth on the way up, and first on the way down. Someone else, ‘y,’ came in first on the way up, and third on the way down. And ‘z’ came in third on the way up, and second on the way down. Now enter Allison and Kathy. Then try to figure out who are ‘x,’ ‘y,’ and ‘z.’
Problems 56 and 57 The Great Watermelon Drop: Number a sheet of paper from 1–18, each number representing a different floor. On each floor write down what happened. You have to keep track of where each team goes next. For example, the team on the first floor is also the team on the sixth floor, and the tenth floor. This gets a little tricky as teams are put OUT. The beginning of your sheet of paper might look like this.
