Logic Problem #22: Decorating Disasters |
 |
|
Four men take on more than they can chew when doing decorating jobs for the women in their lives. From the clues below work out who worked for whom, where the decorating disaster took place, what went wrong, and what each man’s ‘punishment’ was.
Dirk the Berk painted himself into a corner. Dodgy Dave had to make up for his decorating disaster by taking Zara to a Celine Dion concert. Eddie the Eagle was set the task of decorating the living room—he was not the person who somehow managed to wallpaper the cat.
Larry the Lodger was working for Yolande, his forfeit was to take her breakfast in bed every day for a month. The person working for Wilhemena, who was not Eddie the Eagle, had to endure a football free week on TV.
The person who blew the fuses in the bathroom was not the person who had to help host a Tupperware party. Dodgy Dave was not working in the bedroom, and Dirk the Berk was working in the kitchen.
