Each of the specials gets ordered at least once. Furthermore, it is known that: If Julie had what Mike had, then Robbie had the pasta. If Mike ate pasta, then Robbie did not have the chicken. Mike and Robbie did not order the same thing, unless Julie ordered the salad. If Julie had the chicken, then so did Eddie. Mike did not have the chicken, and Julie did not have the pasta. So... What did Eddie have for lunch? What are the odds that Robbie had pasta? - --nicole the "bored in lecture today" wonder nerd *** "1000 milliseconds is very close to 1 second."--my circuits professor Visit Nicolopolis! http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~carlsonn nmcarlson@ucdavis.edu ana.ng@tmbg.org ncarlson@mail.arc.nasa.gov ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 07:58:18 -0500 From: "Nunnally, Brandon B" Subject: RE: Edheads: Another riddle Here's my shot at the answer.
