Logic Problem #6: Career Change |
 |
| Four people, who are thinking of changing
their jobs have come on holiday to Crete to consider their future (where
else?!). Each of them has chosen some form of relaxation activity to
help clear their thoughts. From the clues below work out why each person
is thinking of leaving their current job, what their chosen activity is
and where they go to contemplate. Robin isn’t being head-hunted and he is not the person who paints by the lake. The researcher is moving house in the autumn. The accountant, who is not Beryl, does yoga, but not by the pool. The person who enjoys reading hates their boss. Gladys is not the person in marketing who listens to music. Warren, who likes to sit by the pool, is bored with his job; the person who in Human Resources goes to relax by the sea. |
