Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Saturday

As per question three, the minister didn't lecture on Sunday. Question four says two people (Chris and the falcon owner) lectured before the minister. The only day of the convention with two days before it, that isn't Sunday, is Saturday.

2. The rabbi didn't lecture on Friday or Saturday. Who was the guru?

Answer: Chris

The reasoning in answer one tells us that the minister lectured on Saturday. Question four tells us that Chris lectured the day before the minister, which means he spoke on Friday. Question five says that the guru lectured on Friday. Therefore Chris is the guru.

3. Neither the priest nor the minister lectured on Sunday. What day did Sam lecture?

Answer: Thursday

As per question six, Sam didn't lecture on Saturday or Sunday. As per answer two, Chris is the guru who lectured on Friday. Therefore Sam is left with Thursday.

4. Chris lectured the day before the minister and the day after the falcon owner. What was the profession of the falcon owner?

Answer: Priest

The logic in answer two tells us that Chris lectured on Friday. Question four says the falcon owner lectured the day before Chris, which has to be Thursday. Question three tells us that the priest didn't lecture on Sunday. The logic in answer one tells us that the minister lectured on Saturday. Question five informs us that the guru lectured on Friday. That leaves Thursday for the priest which means the priest owns the falcon.

5. The guru lectured on Friday. Which bird is Sam's pet?

Answer: Falcon

As per question six, Sam didn't lecture on Saturday or Sunday. The logic in answer two tells us that Chris lectured on Friday. That leaves Thursday for Sam. The logic in answer four tells us that the falcon is owned by the Thursday lecturer.

6. Sam didn't lecture on Saturday or Sunday. What day did Terry lecture?

Answer: Sunday

As per the logic in answers two and three, Chris and Sam lectured on Friday and Thursday respectively. As per question seven Pat lectured before Terry. Therefore Pat lectured on Saturday and Terry lectured on Sunday.

7. Pat lectured before Terry. What profession lectured on Sunday?

Answer: Rabbi

As per question three, neither the minister nor the priest lectured on Sunday. The answer to question three tells us that the guru lectured on Friday. That leaves the rabbi for Sunday.

8. The rabbi doesn't own the chicken or the pigeon. What profession owns the eagle?

Answer: Rabbi

As per question eight, the rabbi doesn't own the chicken or the pigeon. The logic in answer four says that the falcon is owned by the priest. That leaves the eagle for the rabbi.

9. Pat, the priest, and the pigeon owner are three different people. What pet does Pat own?

Answer: Chicken

As per question nine, Pat doesn't own the pigeon. As per answer eight, the rabbi owned the eagle. As per answer seven, the rabbi lectured on Sunday, but question seven tells us that Pat lectured before Terry, therefore Pat isn't the rabbi and doesn't own the eagle. Answer five lets us know that Sam owns the falcon. That leaves Pat with the chicken.

10. Chris doesn't own the chicken. Which of the following combinations is correct?

Answer: Sam, the priest with a pet falcon, lectured on Thursday.

As per question ten, Chris doesn't have a pet chicken. The logic in answer nine tells us that Pat's pet is a chicken. According to answer eight, the rabbi's pet is an eagle. That rules out the other three combinations and leaves Sam, the priest with a pet falcon, lecturing on Thursday as the only one that fits with all ten clues.
