Logic Problem #29: Fluid Druids |
 |
|
One Midsummer, four misguided would - be druids were trying out their skills. From the clues below, work out what each druid was wearing / carrying, what their supposed fields of expertise were, where each druid was and what happened….
Agalf was the druid at Canary Wharf, but neither he nor Codswallop were wearing the sacred buckle. Borgof considered himself to be an expert in rain dancing, he was not the druid who caused the unwelcome thunderstorm at Glastonbury festival. Gandalf was wielding a magic sword, but he was not the druid whose attempts at water divination caused a sudden quicksand.
Codswallop’s special skill was supposed to be talking to tree spirits, he was not on Dartmoor when he was trying this out, nor was he the druid who caused a near riot at a party at Stonehenge by turning all the wine into water.
The druid wearing the cosmic cloak was not at Glastonbury, and Gandalf was not at Stonehenge
