Step-by-step solution for: Printable Logic Puzzle Grid Blank - Printable Crossword Puzzles
Let’s solve this logic puzzle step by step. We have 5 people, each with:
- A first name (Cory, Luke, Parker, Rebekah, Roy)
- A wedding year (1920, 1925, 1940, 1952, 1964)
- An appetizer (fried mozarella, fried pickles, onion rings, potato skins, soup of the day)
- A cell phone provider (Nextel, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Wireless, nTelos)
We’ll use the clues to fill in a grid or make deductions.
---
Clue 8: The person married in 1920 has always used Nextel.
→ So: 1920 = Nextel
Clue 3: Of Roy and Rebekah, one got married in 1952 and the other has always used nTelos.
→ So either:
- Roy = 1952 and Rebekah = nTelos, OR
- Rebekah = 1952 and Roy = nTelos
Clue 7: Rebekah got married before the person with the T-Mobile cell phone.
→ So Rebekah’s wedding year < T-Mobile’s wedding year.
Clue 9: The person with the T-Mobile cell phone got married after the person who ordered fried mozarella as an appetizer.
→ T-Mobile year > fried mozarella year
Clue 4: Luke got married before the person who ordered potato skins as an appetizer.
→ Luke’s year < potato skins year
Clue 11: The person who ordered fried pickles as an appetizer is Parker.
→ Parker = fried pickles
Clue 2: The person with the Sprint cell phone didn’t order onion rings.
→ Sprint ≠ onion rings
Clue 6: The person with the US Wireless cell phone didn’t order fried mozarella.
→ US Wireless ≠ fried mozarella
Clue 1: The person married in 1940 doesn’t have a cell phone with nTelos.
→ 1940 ≠ nTelos
Clue 5: The 5 people were:
- the person with the T-Mobile cell phone,
- the person who ordered potato skins as an appetizer,
- the person married in 1964,
- Cory,
- and the person with the Nextel cell phone.
This means these are all different people — so no overlaps among those five descriptions. That implies:
- Cory ≠ T-Mobile
- Cory ≠ potato skins
- Cory ≠ 1964
- Cory ≠ Nextel
Also:
- T-Mobile ≠ potato skins
- T-Mobile ≠ 1964
- T-Mobile ≠ Nextel
- potato skins ≠ 1964
- potato skins ≠ Nextel
- 1964 ≠ Nextel
But from Clue 8: 1920 = Nextel → so 1964 ≠ Nextel is already satisfied.
Also, since 1920 = Nextel, then from Clue 5, “the person with the Nextel cell phone” is the 1920 person.
So let’s start building:
From Clue 8:
Wedding Year 1920 → Cell Phone: Nextel
From Clue 1:
1940 ≠ nTelos
From Clue 3: Roy and Rebekah → one is 1952, one is nTelos.
From Clue 7: Rebekah < T-Mobile (year-wise)
From Clue 9: T-Mobile > fried mozarella (year-wise)
From Clue 4: Luke < potato skins (year-wise)
From Clue 11: Parker = fried pickles
From Clue 5: All five categories listed are distinct people → so we can assign them uniquely.
Let’s try to place Cory.
From Clue 5: Cory is NOT T-Mobile, NOT potato skins, NOT 1964, NOT Nextel.
Since Nextel = 1920, Cory ≠ 1920.
So Cory cannot be 1920 or 1964 → so Cory must be 1925, 1940, or 1952.
Also, Cory ≠ T-Mobile, ≠ potato skins.
Now, let’s look at Clue 10: Either the person with the Nextel cell phone or the person with the Sprint cell phone ordered onion rings.
Nextel = 1920 → so either 1920 ordered onion rings, OR Sprint did.
But Clue 2 says Sprint ≠ onion rings → so it MUST be that Nextel (1920) ordered onion rings.
→ So: 1920 → Nextel → onion rings
Great! Now we have:
1920: Nextel, onion rings
Now, Clue 5 says the 5 distinct people include:
- T-Mobile user
- potato skins eater
- 1964 marry-er
- Cory
- Nextel user (which is 1920)
So now we know 1920 is taken (Nextel, onion rings). So Cory ≠ 1920, which we knew.
Also, since 1920 has onion rings, and Parker = fried pickles (Clue 11), Parker ≠ 1920.
Luke < potato skins (Clue 4)
Rebekah < T-Mobile (Clue 7)
T-Mobile > fried mozarella (Clue 9)
Let’s list years: 1920, 1925, 1940, 1952, 1964
We know 1920: Nextel, onion rings
Who is left for 1920? Names: Cory, Luke, Parker, Rebekah, Roy
Cory ≠ 1920 (from Clue 5)
Parker = fried pickles → but 1920 has onion rings → so Parker ≠ 1920
So 1920 must be Luke, Rebekah, or Roy.
But Clue 3: Roy and Rebekah → one is 1952, one is nTelos.
If Rebekah were 1920, then she would be Nextel, but Clue 3 says one of Roy/Rebekah is nTelos → contradiction, because 1920 is Nextel, not nTelos.
Similarly, if Roy were 1920, same issue — he’d be Nextel, but Clue 3 says one of them is nTelos.
Therefore, neither Roy nor Rebekah can be 1920.
So only possibility: Luke is 1920.
→ 1920: Luke, Nextel, onion rings
Perfect!
Now, Clue 4: Luke got married before the person who ordered potato skins.
Luke = 1920 → so potato skins must be in 1925, 1940, 1952, or 1964 → any later year.
Now, Clue 3: Roy and Rebekah → one is 1952, one is nTelos.
Clue 7: Rebekah < T-Mobile
Clue 9: T-Mobile > fried mozarella
Also, Clue 1: 1940 ≠ nTelos
So nTelos cannot be 1940.
Possible years for nTelos: 1925, 1952, 1964 (since 1920 is Nextel, 1940 excluded)
But from Clue 3, nTelos is either Roy or Rebekah.
Case 1: Roy = 1952, Rebekah = nTelos
Then Rebekah = nTelos → her year could be 1925, 1952, or 1964 — but 1952 is taken by Roy → so Rebekah = 1925 or 1964
But Clue 7: Rebekah < T-Mobile → so if Rebekah = 1964, then T-Mobile must be after 1964 → impossible. So Rebekah cannot be 1964.
Thus, if Rebekah = nTelos, she must be 1925.
Then Roy = 1952.
Check: Rebekah = 1925, nTelos; Roy = 1952
Then Clue 7: Rebekah (1925) < T-Mobile → so T-Mobile must be 1940, 1952, or 1964
But Roy = 1952 → so T-Mobile could be 1940 or 1964
Clue 9: T-Mobile > fried mozarella → so fried mozarella must be before T-Mobile.
Also, Clue 5: Cory ≠ 1964, ≠ T-Mobile, ≠ potato skins, ≠ Nextel (already known)
Years left: 1925 (Rebekah), 1940, 1952 (Roy), 1964
Names left: Cory, Parker (since Luke=1920, Rebekah=1925, Roy=1952)
Wait, names: Cory, Luke, Parker, Rebekah, Roy → Luke=1920, Rebekah=1925, Roy=1952 → left: Cory and Parker for 1940 and 1964
But Clue 5: Cory ≠ 1964 → so Cory must be 1940, Parker = 1964
Also, Parker = fried pickles (Clue 11) → so 1964: Parker, fried pickles
Now, Clue 5 also says: the 5 distinct people include:
- T-Mobile user
- potato skins eater
- 1964 marry-er (Parker)
- Cory
- Nextel user (Luke, 1920)
So T-Mobile user ≠ Cory, ≠ Parker, ≠ Luke → so T-Mobile must be Rebekah or Roy
Rebekah = 1925, nTelos → so not T-Mobile
Roy = 1952 → could be T-Mobile
So Roy = T-Mobile? Let’s check.
If Roy = 1952 = T-Mobile
Then Clue 7: Rebekah (1925) < T-Mobile (1952) → OK
Clue 9: T-Mobile (1952) > fried mozarella → so fried mozarella must be in 1920, 1925, or 1940
1920 has onion rings → so not fried mozarella
1925 is Rebekah → what appetizer? Not yet assigned.
1940 is Cory → appetizer unknown.
So fried mozarella could be 1925 or 1940.
But Clue 6: US Wireless ≠ fried mozarella
Also, Clue 2: Sprint ≠ onion rings (already satisfied, onion rings is 1920)
Now, cell phones left: Sprint, T-Mobile, US Wireless, nTelos (nTelos is Rebekah=1925), Nextel=1920, so left: Sprint, T-Mobile, US Wireless for 1940, 1952, 1964
We assumed Roy=1952=T-Mobile
Then 1940 (Cory) and 1964 (Parker) need Sprint and US Wireless
Clue 1: 1940 ≠ nTelos → already satisfied
Clue 6: US Wireless ≠ fried mozarella
Appetizers left: fried mozarella, fried pickles (Parker=1964), potato skins, soup of the day
Assigned: 1920: onion rings, 1964: fried pickles
Left: fried mozarella, potato skins, soup of the day for 1925, 1940, 1952
Clue 4: Luke (1920) < potato skins → so potato skins in 1925, 1940, 1952, or 1964 → 1964 is fried pickles → so potato skins in 1925, 1940, or 1952
Clue 5: potato skins eater is one of the 5 distinct → and not Cory, not 1964, etc. → actually, from Clue 5, potato skins eater is different from Cory, 1964, Nextel, T-Mobile → so potato skins ≠ Cory (1940), ≠ Parker (1964), ≠ Luke (1920), ≠ Roy (if T-Mobile) → so must be Rebekah (1925)
→ So Rebekah = potato skins
But earlier we said Rebekah = nTelos, 1925
And Clue 4: Luke (1920) < potato skins → 1920 < 1925 → OK
So Rebekah: 1925, nTelos, potato skins
Then appetizers left: fried mozarella, soup of the day for 1940 (Cory) and 1952 (Roy)
Clue 9: T-Mobile (Roy=1952) > fried mozarella → so fried mozarella must be before 1952 → so 1940 (Cory) must be fried mozarella
Then Roy (1952) gets soup of the day
Now, cell phones:
- 1920: Nextel (Luke)
- 1925: nTelos (Rebekah)
- 1952: T-Mobile (Roy)
- Left: 1940 (Cory) and 1964 (Parker) → Sprint and US Wireless
Clue 6: US Wireless ≠ fried mozarella → fried mozarella is Cory (1940) → so Cory cannot have US Wireless → so Cory = Sprint, Parker = US Wireless
Check Clue 2: Sprint ≠ onion rings → Sprint is Cory (1940), onion rings is 1920 → OK
Clue 1: 1940 ≠ nTelos → yes, 1940 is Sprint → OK
Now, verify all clues:
1. 1940 ≠ nTelos → yes, 1940 is Sprint → OK
2. Sprint ≠ onion rings → Sprint is 1940, onion rings is 1920 → OK
3. Roy and Rebekah: Roy=1952, Rebekah=nTelos (1925) → OK
4. Luke (1920) < potato skins (Rebekah=1925) → OK
5. The 5: T-Mobile (Roy), potato skins (Rebekah), 1964 (Parker), Cory, Nextel (Luke) → all distinct → OK
6. US Wireless (Parker=1964) ≠ fried mozarella (Cory=1940) → OK
7. Rebekah (1925) < T-Mobile (Roy=1952) → OK
8. 1920 = Nextel → OK
9. T-Mobile (1952) > fried mozarella (1940) → OK
10. Either Nextel or Sprint ordered onion rings → Nextel (1920) did → OK
11. Parker = fried pickles → yes, 1964 → OK
All clues satisfied!
Now, let’s tabulate:
Wedding Years | First Names | Appetizers | Cell Phones
--------------|-------------|-----------------|------------
1920 | Luke | onion rings | Nextel
1925 | Rebekah | potato skins | nTelos
1940 | Cory | fried mozarella | Sprint
1952 | Roy | soup of the day | T-Mobile
1964 | Parker | fried pickles | US Wireless
Final Answer:
The complete solution is:
- 1920: Luke, onion rings, Nextel
- 1925: Rebekah, potato skins, nTelos
- 1940: Cory, fried mozarella, Sprint
- 1952: Roy, soup of the day, T-Mobile
- 1964: Parker, fried pickles, US Wireless
- A first name (Cory, Luke, Parker, Rebekah, Roy)
- A wedding year (1920, 1925, 1940, 1952, 1964)
- An appetizer (fried mozarella, fried pickles, onion rings, potato skins, soup of the day)
- A cell phone provider (Nextel, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Wireless, nTelos)
We’ll use the clues to fill in a grid or make deductions.
---
Clue 8: The person married in 1920 has always used Nextel.
→ So: 1920 = Nextel
Clue 3: Of Roy and Rebekah, one got married in 1952 and the other has always used nTelos.
→ So either:
- Roy = 1952 and Rebekah = nTelos, OR
- Rebekah = 1952 and Roy = nTelos
Clue 7: Rebekah got married before the person with the T-Mobile cell phone.
→ So Rebekah’s wedding year < T-Mobile’s wedding year.
Clue 9: The person with the T-Mobile cell phone got married after the person who ordered fried mozarella as an appetizer.
→ T-Mobile year > fried mozarella year
Clue 4: Luke got married before the person who ordered potato skins as an appetizer.
→ Luke’s year < potato skins year
Clue 11: The person who ordered fried pickles as an appetizer is Parker.
→ Parker = fried pickles
Clue 2: The person with the Sprint cell phone didn’t order onion rings.
→ Sprint ≠ onion rings
Clue 6: The person with the US Wireless cell phone didn’t order fried mozarella.
→ US Wireless ≠ fried mozarella
Clue 1: The person married in 1940 doesn’t have a cell phone with nTelos.
→ 1940 ≠ nTelos
Clue 5: The 5 people were:
- the person with the T-Mobile cell phone,
- the person who ordered potato skins as an appetizer,
- the person married in 1964,
- Cory,
- and the person with the Nextel cell phone.
This means these are all different people — so no overlaps among those five descriptions. That implies:
- Cory ≠ T-Mobile
- Cory ≠ potato skins
- Cory ≠ 1964
- Cory ≠ Nextel
Also:
- T-Mobile ≠ potato skins
- T-Mobile ≠ 1964
- T-Mobile ≠ Nextel
- potato skins ≠ 1964
- potato skins ≠ Nextel
- 1964 ≠ Nextel
But from Clue 8: 1920 = Nextel → so 1964 ≠ Nextel is already satisfied.
Also, since 1920 = Nextel, then from Clue 5, “the person with the Nextel cell phone” is the 1920 person.
So let’s start building:
From Clue 8:
Wedding Year 1920 → Cell Phone: Nextel
From Clue 1:
1940 ≠ nTelos
From Clue 3: Roy and Rebekah → one is 1952, one is nTelos.
From Clue 7: Rebekah < T-Mobile (year-wise)
From Clue 9: T-Mobile > fried mozarella (year-wise)
From Clue 4: Luke < potato skins (year-wise)
From Clue 11: Parker = fried pickles
From Clue 5: All five categories listed are distinct people → so we can assign them uniquely.
Let’s try to place Cory.
From Clue 5: Cory is NOT T-Mobile, NOT potato skins, NOT 1964, NOT Nextel.
Since Nextel = 1920, Cory ≠ 1920.
So Cory cannot be 1920 or 1964 → so Cory must be 1925, 1940, or 1952.
Also, Cory ≠ T-Mobile, ≠ potato skins.
Now, let’s look at Clue 10: Either the person with the Nextel cell phone or the person with the Sprint cell phone ordered onion rings.
Nextel = 1920 → so either 1920 ordered onion rings, OR Sprint did.
But Clue 2 says Sprint ≠ onion rings → so it MUST be that Nextel (1920) ordered onion rings.
→ So: 1920 → Nextel → onion rings
Great! Now we have:
1920: Nextel, onion rings
Now, Clue 5 says the 5 distinct people include:
- T-Mobile user
- potato skins eater
- 1964 marry-er
- Cory
- Nextel user (which is 1920)
So now we know 1920 is taken (Nextel, onion rings). So Cory ≠ 1920, which we knew.
Also, since 1920 has onion rings, and Parker = fried pickles (Clue 11), Parker ≠ 1920.
Luke < potato skins (Clue 4)
Rebekah < T-Mobile (Clue 7)
T-Mobile > fried mozarella (Clue 9)
Let’s list years: 1920, 1925, 1940, 1952, 1964
We know 1920: Nextel, onion rings
Who is left for 1920? Names: Cory, Luke, Parker, Rebekah, Roy
Cory ≠ 1920 (from Clue 5)
Parker = fried pickles → but 1920 has onion rings → so Parker ≠ 1920
So 1920 must be Luke, Rebekah, or Roy.
But Clue 3: Roy and Rebekah → one is 1952, one is nTelos.
If Rebekah were 1920, then she would be Nextel, but Clue 3 says one of Roy/Rebekah is nTelos → contradiction, because 1920 is Nextel, not nTelos.
Similarly, if Roy were 1920, same issue — he’d be Nextel, but Clue 3 says one of them is nTelos.
Therefore, neither Roy nor Rebekah can be 1920.
So only possibility: Luke is 1920.
→ 1920: Luke, Nextel, onion rings
Perfect!
Now, Clue 4: Luke got married before the person who ordered potato skins.
Luke = 1920 → so potato skins must be in 1925, 1940, 1952, or 1964 → any later year.
Now, Clue 3: Roy and Rebekah → one is 1952, one is nTelos.
Clue 7: Rebekah < T-Mobile
Clue 9: T-Mobile > fried mozarella
Also, Clue 1: 1940 ≠ nTelos
So nTelos cannot be 1940.
Possible years for nTelos: 1925, 1952, 1964 (since 1920 is Nextel, 1940 excluded)
But from Clue 3, nTelos is either Roy or Rebekah.
Case 1: Roy = 1952, Rebekah = nTelos
Then Rebekah = nTelos → her year could be 1925, 1952, or 1964 — but 1952 is taken by Roy → so Rebekah = 1925 or 1964
But Clue 7: Rebekah < T-Mobile → so if Rebekah = 1964, then T-Mobile must be after 1964 → impossible. So Rebekah cannot be 1964.
Thus, if Rebekah = nTelos, she must be 1925.
Then Roy = 1952.
Check: Rebekah = 1925, nTelos; Roy = 1952
Then Clue 7: Rebekah (1925) < T-Mobile → so T-Mobile must be 1940, 1952, or 1964
But Roy = 1952 → so T-Mobile could be 1940 or 1964
Clue 9: T-Mobile > fried mozarella → so fried mozarella must be before T-Mobile.
Also, Clue 5: Cory ≠ 1964, ≠ T-Mobile, ≠ potato skins, ≠ Nextel (already known)
Years left: 1925 (Rebekah), 1940, 1952 (Roy), 1964
Names left: Cory, Parker (since Luke=1920, Rebekah=1925, Roy=1952)
Wait, names: Cory, Luke, Parker, Rebekah, Roy → Luke=1920, Rebekah=1925, Roy=1952 → left: Cory and Parker for 1940 and 1964
But Clue 5: Cory ≠ 1964 → so Cory must be 1940, Parker = 1964
Also, Parker = fried pickles (Clue 11) → so 1964: Parker, fried pickles
Now, Clue 5 also says: the 5 distinct people include:
- T-Mobile user
- potato skins eater
- 1964 marry-er (Parker)
- Cory
- Nextel user (Luke, 1920)
So T-Mobile user ≠ Cory, ≠ Parker, ≠ Luke → so T-Mobile must be Rebekah or Roy
Rebekah = 1925, nTelos → so not T-Mobile
Roy = 1952 → could be T-Mobile
So Roy = T-Mobile? Let’s check.
If Roy = 1952 = T-Mobile
Then Clue 7: Rebekah (1925) < T-Mobile (1952) → OK
Clue 9: T-Mobile (1952) > fried mozarella → so fried mozarella must be in 1920, 1925, or 1940
1920 has onion rings → so not fried mozarella
1925 is Rebekah → what appetizer? Not yet assigned.
1940 is Cory → appetizer unknown.
So fried mozarella could be 1925 or 1940.
But Clue 6: US Wireless ≠ fried mozarella
Also, Clue 2: Sprint ≠ onion rings (already satisfied, onion rings is 1920)
Now, cell phones left: Sprint, T-Mobile, US Wireless, nTelos (nTelos is Rebekah=1925), Nextel=1920, so left: Sprint, T-Mobile, US Wireless for 1940, 1952, 1964
We assumed Roy=1952=T-Mobile
Then 1940 (Cory) and 1964 (Parker) need Sprint and US Wireless
Clue 1: 1940 ≠ nTelos → already satisfied
Clue 6: US Wireless ≠ fried mozarella
Appetizers left: fried mozarella, fried pickles (Parker=1964), potato skins, soup of the day
Assigned: 1920: onion rings, 1964: fried pickles
Left: fried mozarella, potato skins, soup of the day for 1925, 1940, 1952
Clue 4: Luke (1920) < potato skins → so potato skins in 1925, 1940, 1952, or 1964 → 1964 is fried pickles → so potato skins in 1925, 1940, or 1952
Clue 5: potato skins eater is one of the 5 distinct → and not Cory, not 1964, etc. → actually, from Clue 5, potato skins eater is different from Cory, 1964, Nextel, T-Mobile → so potato skins ≠ Cory (1940), ≠ Parker (1964), ≠ Luke (1920), ≠ Roy (if T-Mobile) → so must be Rebekah (1925)
→ So Rebekah = potato skins
But earlier we said Rebekah = nTelos, 1925
And Clue 4: Luke (1920) < potato skins → 1920 < 1925 → OK
So Rebekah: 1925, nTelos, potato skins
Then appetizers left: fried mozarella, soup of the day for 1940 (Cory) and 1952 (Roy)
Clue 9: T-Mobile (Roy=1952) > fried mozarella → so fried mozarella must be before 1952 → so 1940 (Cory) must be fried mozarella
Then Roy (1952) gets soup of the day
Now, cell phones:
- 1920: Nextel (Luke)
- 1925: nTelos (Rebekah)
- 1952: T-Mobile (Roy)
- Left: 1940 (Cory) and 1964 (Parker) → Sprint and US Wireless
Clue 6: US Wireless ≠ fried mozarella → fried mozarella is Cory (1940) → so Cory cannot have US Wireless → so Cory = Sprint, Parker = US Wireless
Check Clue 2: Sprint ≠ onion rings → Sprint is Cory (1940), onion rings is 1920 → OK
Clue 1: 1940 ≠ nTelos → yes, 1940 is Sprint → OK
Now, verify all clues:
1. 1940 ≠ nTelos → yes, 1940 is Sprint → OK
2. Sprint ≠ onion rings → Sprint is 1940, onion rings is 1920 → OK
3. Roy and Rebekah: Roy=1952, Rebekah=nTelos (1925) → OK
4. Luke (1920) < potato skins (Rebekah=1925) → OK
5. The 5: T-Mobile (Roy), potato skins (Rebekah), 1964 (Parker), Cory, Nextel (Luke) → all distinct → OK
6. US Wireless (Parker=1964) ≠ fried mozarella (Cory=1940) → OK
7. Rebekah (1925) < T-Mobile (Roy=1952) → OK
8. 1920 = Nextel → OK
9. T-Mobile (1952) > fried mozarella (1940) → OK
10. Either Nextel or Sprint ordered onion rings → Nextel (1920) did → OK
11. Parker = fried pickles → yes, 1964 → OK
All clues satisfied!
Now, let’s tabulate:
Wedding Years | First Names | Appetizers | Cell Phones
--------------|-------------|-----------------|------------
1920 | Luke | onion rings | Nextel
1925 | Rebekah | potato skins | nTelos
1940 | Cory | fried mozarella | Sprint
1952 | Roy | soup of the day | T-Mobile
1964 | Parker | fried pickles | US Wireless
Final Answer:
The complete solution is:
- 1920: Luke, onion rings, Nextel
- 1925: Rebekah, potato skins, nTelos
- 1940: Cory, fried mozarella, Sprint
- 1952: Roy, soup of the day, T-Mobile
- 1964: Parker, fried pickles, US Wireless
