Logic Problem #11: Gift Horses |
 |
|
Four stupid elves gave misguided presents to four reindeer. From the
clues below, work out who gave what to whom, why the present was a bad
idea and what the reaction to the present was.One of the reindeer
suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder due to an unfortunate
incident with a lobster. Dancer, who is a carnivorous reindeer, farted
in shock on opening his gift which wasn’t a pair of slippers. Dingbat
‘re-gifted’ last year’s Christmas present back to the original donor,
which wasn’t Prancer.
The burp was in response to a box of shellfish. Donner wasn’t the
reindeer who sneezed at Lala’s gift—the sneeze was not due to an
allergy. Prannet gave the inappropriate sweater, this was not to the
vegan who received a subscription to ‘Cattle Breeding Weekly’. Muppet
gave her gift to Blitzen, he wasn’t the reindee
