Logic Problem #9: Slow Boat to China |
 |
Four travellers take the ferry to Crete.
However, this represents a departure from plans. From the clues below,
work out where they had originally planned to go, what made them get the
ferry to Crete, what they did during the voyage and what they did once
they got to Rethymnon.
Sally had initially been bound for Rhodes. She didn’t play cards on the
voyage, nor was she the person who headed straight for the raki bar .
Sam’s original choice of ferry was cancelled due to bad weather. She went to the
Tourist Information Office as soon as she arrived in Rethymnon.
Sandy had sex in the lifeboat. She wasn’t the person who had been bound for
Naxos, nor was she the person who went to the beach.
Sasha was really excited by her new job offer and spent the whole journey
dancing on deck. The person who went to the café for breakfast had got on the
wrong ship. This wasn’t Sally. Neither Sandy nor Sasha had been destined for
Ios. |
