Town pride The clues
The towns of Glenview, Northbrook, Northfield and Deerfield were led by mayors whose first names were Kevin, Kathy, Ken and Kizzy. Their last names were Daley, Jones, Smith and Quimby. Every year the four towns watched their mayors engage in friendly competitions with each other. This year, the mayors engaged in a pie-eating contest and they ate 106, 53, 40 and 20 pies. Another contest was held to determine who could slide the farthest from a running start in mud. They slid 66, 33, 19 and 15.5 metres. Based on the clues, match the towns with the mayor’s first and last names, the number of pies they ate and the distances they slid in mud.
1. Quimby ate half as many pies as the mayor of Northbrook, and Daley ate half as many pies as the mayor of Northfield. 2. The mayor of Glenview ate more pies than the mayor of Deerfield, and the mayor of Northbrook ate more pies than the mayor of Northfield. 3. Kizzy ate the fewest pies, Kevin ate the most pies, and Quimby ate fewer pies than Jones but more than Smith and Daley. 4. Deerfield’s mayor was not Smith, and Ken was not the mayor of Northfield. 5. Kathy slid half as far as Kizzy, and Quimby slid fewer metres than Jones.
