The story
The clues
This puzzle is slightly different from the other puzzles because in the section below concerning jumps, two answers are required. This means that you must not cross off any answers vertically until you have circled two answers. You still cross off horizontally in the ordinary way. We call these puzzles ‘Twofers’.
1. When the two jumps were added up, two animals tied for first with totals of 200 centimetres, two animals tied for second with total jumps of 130 centimetres, and the goat finished last with a total of only 110 centimetres. 2. Lily and Lester were not a cow, a pig or a horse. 3. Larry was certain of victory, but only tied for second with Lester, and finished behind the cow and the pig. 4. Lonnie was not a cow and did not make the single longest 160 centimetre foot jump. 5. The rooster’s shortest jump was 50 centimetres.

Larry, LeRoy, Lonnie, Lily and Lester were five barnyard animals that decided to have a jumping contest. They were a cow, a pig, a goat, a horse and a rooster. They decided to each take two jumps, add the total of the two jumps, and the animal with the highest total would be declared the winner of the contest. The contest was held and two animals tied for first place, two animals tied for second place, and the goat placed a disappointing third. All of the animals jumped a different distance on each of their jumps so all ten of the jumps listed below were made. Based on the clues, match the animals with their species and their two jumps. Keep in mind the fact that each animal took two jumps so you cannot cross off vertically until you know two answers in a column. However, you may cross off horizontally when you know any one answer.
