After the ‘foodie’ theme of last month’s crossword, our compiler’s
thoughts have turned to beverages, and you will find plenty of drink
related items in the September puzzle. There is the usual handful of
suspect clues, too (and some of them are really bogus this month)!
Solutions to last month’s puzzle are also on this page. |

Logic Problem #7: Daddy’s Little Princesses |
 |
Four spoilt girls push their families to
the limit. Their parents send them to Crete to do some manual work to
teach them a lesson. Their first day at work is a disaster, but somehow,
the experience leads the girls to reject the high life and to stay on
Crete. From the clues, work out what was the final straw for the
parents, the work they were sent to do, what went wrong and what each
young lady ended up doing.
Adeline, who hadn’t slept with the chauffeur, became a novelist, she wasn’t
the girl who pranged the jeep, nor was she the girl who picked olives in the
wrong field.
Agatha had enraged her father by using his credit card, she didn’t marry
a farmer. The girl who was sent to be a goatherd quickly realized that stiletto
heels were the wrong footwear. Amelia was the person who left the gate open,
which led to sheep invading her employer’s vineyard, she wasn’t the person who
stripped at the Ritz, nor the person who ended up running a taverna.
The young lady who had thrown a wild party on daddy’s yacht went on to
discover a passion for archaeology, this wasn’t Agnes, who was sent to Crete to
learn how to fish. |
