Philosopher's Read Along - Week 3 - Logic Puzzle

Post by Prof. Tarma Amelia Black »

You're at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! You've been Sorted into a House, shown into your House's quarters and are now actually in school, going to classes. What fun! Or is it .... have you seen those moving stairs? What about the doors which disappear and/or reappear at whim? It's difficult to even get to class timely ....

Here's a nice little Logic Puzzle (yes, we did try it out and it works out 'logically'.... :lol: ) for you to solve.

***************
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is enjoying its new Term with a brand new batch of First Year students. We've decided to focus on five Firsties, and their first week here. Who are the five students, how many times did each get lost in their first week here, what are their favorite subjects and with which color ink do they prefer to take notes?

1. Dean prefers either the Herbology class or the Flying class. Terry got lost 7 times. The person who got lost 3 times does not prefer using a sky blue ink.

2. The student who got lost 5 times does not prefer Charms class. The student who got lost 6 times doesn't like Flying class.

3. Of Dean and the student who prefers Transfiguration class, one got lost 4 times and the other prefers using deep purple ink. Hannah got lost 5 times and does not prefer Potions class.

4. The student who prefers Charms is either Hannah or the one who prefers using leaf green ink. The person who prefers vivid pink ink got lost 1 more time than Pansy. Lavender got lost 1 fewer time than Hannah.

5. The student who got lost 5 times doesn't prefer bright orange ink. Pansy, the student who got lost 6 times and the person who prefers leaf green ink are three different students.
