Who likes Logic Puzzles? Here is one for you...
 

Does anyone like Logic Puzzles? I have been doing them for years, and decided to try creating one, which I found can actually be harder than solving one. Here’s one I made just for GC. Try it out, and please let me know if you find any problems where the clues contradict themselves or something.


There are 4 sororities at Somewhere State U, and they are all locals. From the clues provided below, can you determine each sorority’s founding date, their mascot, and their flower?

Sororities: Alpha Zeta, Beta Upsilon, Gamma Nu, Delta Iota
Founding Dates: 1928, 1951, 1982, 1994
Flowers: Daffodil, Pink Carnation, Red Rose, White Rose
Mascots: Chipmunk, Duck, Seahorse, Tiger

Clues:

1. Gamma Nu was founded after the sorority with a chipmunk mascot, but before the one with red rose as its flower.

2. Alpha Zeta was originally called the White Rose society, and when they changed their name, they kept the flower.

3. The oldest sorority has a tiger as its mascot.

4. The sorority with a seahorse as its mascot has a daffodil as its flower, but it was not founded in 1951.

5. Delta Iota was founded last, and they do not use the seahorse as a mascot.

6. The sorority founded in 1928 uses the pink carnation as its flower.

Hint: It helps to draw a grid to solve the puzzle.

I haven't done one of these in a long time, but I'll give it a shot.

That was fun! I think I've got it - I'll post my answers in white so it's not a spoiler!

Beta Upsilon, 1928, Pink Carnation, Tiger
Alpha Zeta, 1951, White Rose, Chipmunk
Gamma Nu, 1982, Daffodil, Seahorse
Delta Iota, 1994, Red Rose, Duck

Good idea, and yes, those are the answers I have, so thanks for testing it for me! :)

Woo-hoo! These were about the only things in math class I was ever good at...

I finished it and PM'ed you the answer! Swear I didn't look at Gusteau!

That was fun! I got the same answers as Gasteau, so it seems to work.

I got the same as Gusteau :) That was a nice little puzzle to do as a break from real work today.

Fun! I got the same answer as Gusteau. I think (although I haven't double checked it) that you could leave out the part in clue number 4 that says "but it was not founded in 1951." I didn't use that, and thought to myself that it was superfluous when I got to that clue.

Well done. :)

I got the same answers

Same answers, though the date in number 4 did help me alot.

came up with the answers posted in white. That was fun!

Lord have mercy. My head hurts.

Woo Hoo! My answers matched Gusteau. That was such fun-thanks chi-o cat!

Add me to the "agree with Gusteau's answers" group. I love these puzzles!!! Never tried to create one, though. Just like to figure them out.

And I stink at math; that's because I'm not a Real Scientist. You can ask AZ-Alpha Xi for confirmation of that fact.
