Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. As a Secret Santa for several friends with picky tastes, Harried Helga went Christmas shopping and did her best on a meager budget. She bought four items (see below) for four friends (Daphne, Ida, Jack, Peter) on four separate days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday). But as usual, she has lost track of which item is for whom. Can you figure it out?
The four items are:
+ a best-selling mystery novel
+ a multi-CD compilation of 100 old-time radio programs
+ a programmable electric teakettle
+ a bottle of merlot wine, on sale
CLUES:
1. Helga bought the CDs after the teakettle.
2. Helga bought the teakettle after the wine.
3. The wine was not purchased on Monday.
4. Peter detests mystery novels.
5. Helga bought Jack's present after Peter's.
6. Both Peter and Daphne are allergic to wine!
