Logic Problem #26: Carnival Capers! |
 |
|
Four people attempt to participate in Carnivals in various cities around the world. For one reason or another, things don’t go entirely according to plan. But even with the mishaps, luck strikes in mysterious ways…. From the clues below, find out who went where, what they were dressed up as, what went wrong, and what fortunate event happened.
Alfonso dressed up as a penguin, but he was not the person who didn’t know about the last minute costume change. Bartholomew attempted to go to the carnival in Venice, but is not the person who met a new love by accident.
Cadfael managed to get lost on his float, he was not dressed as a priest. Dorian ended up being happy that he overslept. The person who went to Rio ended up finding some buried treasure, and the person dressed as a priest ended up avoiding a punch up.
The person who went go to Cologne -neither Alfonso nor Cadfael- was not dressed as a pirate. Bartholomew was not dressed as a parrot and did not find a new job. Alfonso did not go to Rethymnon, and Dorian did not find romance!
