Classroom logic puzzle worksheet titled "Detective Clues" featuring illustrated characters and age-related clues for students to solve.

Let's solve this logic puzzle step by step using the clues provided.

We have 5 characters (from left to right in the image):

1. Lumberjack (man with axe, red hat, beard) — tallest man?
2. Photographer (man with camera)
3. Woman with cat (woman in green hat, holding flower, cat at her feet)
4. Doctor/Scientist (man in lab coat, smiling)
5. Music listener (woman with headphones, music notes)

We need to assign:
- Names: Edward, Bob, Kumar, Sally, Janet
- Ages: 25, 30, 35, 40, 55

---

Step 1: Use direct age clues

> Clue 1: The woman with the cat is 30 years old.
→ So character #3 (woman with cat) = 30 years old.

> Clue 2: The tallest man is 40 years old.
→ Character #1 (lumberjack) is clearly the tallest → so he is 40.

> Clue 3: Kumar is 55 years old.
→ So one of the men is 55. Since tallest man is 40, Kumar ≠ lumberjack. He must be either photographer (#2) or doctor (#4).

> Clue 4: The youngest woman is 25 years old.
→ There are two women: #3 (with cat, 30) and #5 (music listener).
→ So #5 must be 25 (since 30 > 25).

> Clue 5: One of the men is 35 years old.
→ Men are #1 (40), #2, #4. So either #2 or #4 is 35.

Step 2: Assign names using positional and attribute clues

> Clue 6: Edward is to the left of Bob.
→ So Edward must be in a position with a lower number than Bob. Possible pairs:
(1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (3,4), (3,5), (4,5)

> Clue 7: Sally likes music.
→ Character #5 (music listener) = Sally.

> Clue 8: Janet is next to the oldest man.
→ Oldest man = Kumar = 55. So Janet is adjacent to Kumar.

> Clue 9: The youngest woman is 25. → We already assigned that to #5 (Sally).

So:

- #3: woman with cat → 30
- #5: Sally → 25
- #1: tallest man → 40
- Kumar = 55 → must be #2 or #4
- One man = 35 → the other of #2 or #4

Let’s test possibilities.

Try assigning Kumar to #4 (doctor)

Then:
- #4: Kumar, 55
- Then Janet must be next to him → so Janet is #3 or #5.
- But #3 is woman with cat (30), #5 is Sally (25).
→ So if Janet is #3, then she is 30. That’s possible.
→ If Janet is #5, but #5 is Sally → conflict. So Janet cannot be #5.

Thus, if Kumar is #4, then Janet must be #3.

So:
- #3: Janet, 30
- #4: Kumar, 55
- #5: Sally, 25

Now, men left: #1 (40), #2 (unknown), #4 (Kumar, 55)

One man is 35 → must be #2 (photographer).

So:
- #2: 35

Now names left: Edward, Bob (for #1 and #2)

> Clue: Edward is to the left of Bob.

Possible positions for Edward and Bob: among #1, #2, #4.

But #4 is Kumar → so Edward and Bob must be #1 and #2.

Edward left of Bob → so Edward = #1, Bob = #2.

Check:
- #1: Edward, 40
- #2: Bob, 35
- #3: Janet, 30
- #4: Kumar, 55
- #5: Sally, 25

All clues satisfied?

✔ Woman with cat = #3 = Janet = 30 → OK
✔ Tallest man = #1 = Edward = 40 → OK
✔ Kumar = #4 = 55 → OK
✔ Youngest woman = #5 = Sally = 25 → OK
✔ One man is 35 → #2 Bob → OK
✔ Sally likes music → #5 → OK
✔ Edward left of Bob → #1 left of #2 → OK
✔ Janet next to oldest man → Janet #3, oldest man Kumar #4 → adjacent → OK

Perfect!
