Logic Problem #14: Hares and Kites |
 |
|
Four Mad March hares took it into their heads to try and fly kites on Clean Monday. As you will see,
this was not a good idea. From the clues below, work out the shape of each animal’s kite, where it was
flown, what happened, and what hobby each animal is going to take up next year instead.
Cottontail, whose kite was shaped like a boat, was not the animal whose kite spontaneously burst into
flames at the Minoan Cemetery. Flopsy, whose kite was not shaped like a bird, has now decided to take up
knitting. A brass band parade outside the Town Hall became chaotic when a runaway kite got tangled in a
trumpet.
Peter, who was not the animal whose kite was eaten by a goat, is going to try Tango lessons next year.
Mopsy tried to fly a kite at the open air cinema, she was not the animal whose kite was shaped like a
bathtub. The animal whose kite trapped a tourist is thinking of going into politics.
The animal who had a kite shaped like a bridge is going to take up brass rubbing. Peter wasn’t the
animal who flew a kite at the Town Hall.
