OK maybe more than the time got set back. Looks like I gave out a lemon of a puzzle, and I have to apologize. I swear the whole thing made sense when I typed it up. Once the problem was realized I decided instead of printing a correction that I would just do a random pick of everyone who entered.
This was the problem as stated ...
There are five practitioners of the magical arts living in the land of Dragoon. Each one practices a different aspect of the arts and lives in a different town. Given these clues can you figure out the name, specialty, race, and town of each of the practitioners?
- *Gabdalf *is not a *Necromancer *or a *mage *but he does live in Falton.
- The *Human *lives in Dragon Storm and he is not *Rokar *the illusionist.
- The Wood Elf lives in Smeedly.
- The* Wizard Malfor* is not a High Elf.
- The* Half Orc* does not live in Valianton and is neither a *Wizard *or a Shaman.
- Kalifred does not live in Bardsly.
- The *Halfling Mage *is not called Bob.
This was the answer I was looking for ...
Rokar the half-orc illusionist lives in Bardsly
Gabdalf (that was not a typo .. just ask the legal department) the high elf shaman lived in Falton
Bob the human necromancer lived in Dragon Storm
Kalifrad the halfling mage lived in Valianton
Malfor the wood elf wizard lived in Smeedly
Somewhere I missed a clue, the story of my life. So after a quick consultation with a random number generator the winner of the $50.00 Thinkgeek Gift Certificate is Phillip Seiler. The rest of you guys can have a code for $10.00 off a $50.00 order at Thinkgeek. the code looks like this ...__ GEEKDAD33NG__.
Well lucky for everyone Garth is up next with a puzzle and he's on the ball. Really he has one of those swiss balls and he sits on it when he types up his puzzles.
