Logic Problem: Relatives Come to Visit! |
 |
| George loves living on Crete, but every
year he has a problem: How to entertain relatives who come out to visit.
From the clues below, work out the names of the relatives, what George
gives them to drink, which excursion they go on, and what souvenirs they
buy. George’s first cousin Chris gets incredibly seasick, so the pirate cruise and boat-trip to Santorini were out of the question. George tried to be polite about the light-up model Acropolis his uncle bought. The relative who bought olive oil as a souvenir drinks Metaxa. George saves his sanity when Maud comes to stay by giving her as much raki as he can lay his hands on. Edgar was upset because he couldn’t find any Ouzo to drink at the water park, and the relative who walked the Samaria Gorge bought the T-Shirt. Peace finally reigned in the house when George’s mother in law went to Santorini – she didn’t buy any olive oil |
