Lottery Winners |
|
The MegaMillions Lottery was a sponsored lottery in which 13 different
states participated and a winning ticket hadn’t been drawn in several
months. Finally on Wednesday night, the MegaMillions jackpot was won –
by five people in different states. Since the total was so large, each
winner received over 70 million dollars. Each of the winners was
interviewed shortly after discovering they held a winning ticket,
revealing what each first planned to do with the sudden wealth.
Determine the full name of each winner, what state each winner lived
in, and what each planned to do first with their winnings. |

New Schedule |
|
Sally started a new semester at school this week and she’s having a
bit of trouble. Her whole class schedule has changed and she’s still
trying to remember it. The school day has six class periods in it,
referred to as Period 1 through Period 6. That would be simple enough
to remember, but then there are three different buildings that her
classes might be held in – Grant Building, Roosevelt Building, and
Washington Building - and of course, each building has three floors of
classrooms. Thankfully, her classroom numbers were all even numbers
between 2 and 12, and all the numbers were different – otherwise she’d
really be confused! Determine what subject Sally had in each Period,
and the building, floor, and classroom number where each class was
held. |

Winter Vacation |
|
Four coworkers are all going on different vacations during the month
of February. Each proclaimed that they wanted to go somewhere warm for
awhile – they’d seen enough snow for one winter. The rest of their
departments watched them come and go with envy. Each coworker had a
wonderful time and returned to work with a tan and lots of pictures of
their trip. Determine the full name of each vacationer, the city each
is traveling to, the means of transportation being used (one was an
airplane), and how long each vacationer plans to stay (3 to 6 days). |

Mistaken Deliveries |
|
Larry works at the Millersville Post Office and today he received five
puzzles from various customers. Somehow, five letters were delivered
to the wrong addresses. The strange thing was where the mail was
actually delivered. Usually when mail was delivered incorrectly, it
was to a similar name or street, or sometimes to a different number on
the same street. But the five letters he received today were delivered
across town from where they should have gone, and even stranger, not
one of them was remotely similar to the place it went... |

Hotels at the Conference |
|
Five people fly into town to attend a conference. Unfortunately, hotel
space for the conference had filled up fast so even though they’re
from the same company, the five ended up in different hotels. The good
news is that the hotels were all within walking distance of the
convention center where the conference was being held. The odd thing
about the hotels where they stayed is that all were
individually-owned, rather than part of corporate chains. However,
each was still a very well-rated and successful business... |

Club, was held last weekend. Held at the Millersville high school, the

Pet Sitting Weekend |
|
It’s been a busy weekend for Larry. Five people in his neighborhood
left on vacation Saturday morning and each of them left a pet for
Larry to care for until they return. It’s a good thing this week is
school vacation week, so he has lots of time to take care of
everybody! By some odd happenstance, the animals left in his charge
are all different types of animals and each is owned by a person who
lives alone, with just the one animal for company. Determine the name
of each pet’s owner, the name and animal type of each pet, the street
each owner lives on and the number of days that Larry needs to care
for the animals for each owner (3 days to 7 days). |
