cricket also makes an appearance….
As usual, you’ll also find solutions to last month’s puzzles on this page. |

Logic Problem #18: On the Run |
 |
|
Four dodgy characters are on holiday on Crete. One day, they each go into a shop to buy something to take to the beach. Whilst in the shop they spot someone that they don’t want to see. From the clues below, work out what each of them wanted to buy, who they are avoiding, what lie they had told the person they are avoiding and where they hide out afterwards.
Devious Dickie was horrified to spot a colleague of his — an Interpol Agent, when he went into the shop. He was not the person who lied about visiting their mother, nor was he the person who hid in a cave or mountain village.
Feckless Finbar went to buy a towel, he wasn’t the person who escaped from their lover by hiding in a cave. Sneaky Shirley’s lie was that she was ‘In quarantine’. Tricky Trixie narrowly avoided her cousin. She was not the person who had lied about being at a conference who had gone into the shop for suncream.
The person who had tried to fake their own death went into the shop to buy a book, and the person who had lied about visiting their mother went to hide out in a local kafeneion.
