Puzzle (08) By A.J.Duncum
Five colleagues
at work pooled their efforts during the lunch-hour to solve the
crosswords in the daily paper. From the information given below,
can you work out who provided each of the first five answers to
be found, give the number of the clue in question and say in
which order the words were discovered?
Colleagues:
Bernard, Edward, Elsie, Shirley, Thora
Answers:
Balsam, Barely, Bindweed, Regatta, Silence.
Numbers: 4
down, 8 across, 15 across, 15 down, 21 across.
Order: First,
second, third, fourth, fifth.
-
Thora produced the answer to 8 across, which
had the same number of letters as the previous answer to be
inserted and one more than the subsequent answer, which was
produced by one of the men.
-
It was not
Bernard who solved the clue to" Balsam", and
Edward did not solve 4 down.
-
The answers to
15 across and 15 down did not have the same number of
letters.
-
'Silence',
which was not the third word to be inserted, was the answer
to an across clue, as was the fifth one to be worked out.
-
'Barely' was
the first word to be entered in the grid, but 'Bindweed' was
not the second answer to be found.
-
Elsie's word
was longer than Bernard's; Shirley was neither the first nor
the last to come up with an answer.
Who provided
which answer and in what order?
