Can You Solve This? by AMZYMAYO(m): 12:22pm On Sep 24, 2014
Amzy is a waiter in a cafe. After he turns in orders for the six people sitting at the counter- each of whome is eating alone and is sitting in chairs numbered 1 through 6- the cook opens a window in the kitchen and the order slips get messed up. Here's what Amzy remembers about the orders:

1. The entree orders are: fried eggs, a hamburger, a cheesburger, a vegetable burger, soup, and a ham sandwich.

2. The two people who did not order sandwitches are sitting at chairs 3 and 4.

3. The person who ordered the cheeseburger and the one who ordered the hamburger are not sitting next to each other.

4. The person in chair number 5 is a regular. She will not sit next to anyone who is eating hamburger.

5. The person eating the vegetable burger is not sitting in chair 2, but sitting between the person who ordered fried eggs and the one who ordered a cheeseburger.

6. The customer who ordered the hamburger is not sitting next to the customer who ordered soup.
Questions

A. To which customer should Amzy serve vegetable burger?
B. To which customer should Amzy serve the soup?
C. To which customer should Amzy serve the ham sandwich?

*note* please explain your answers, choosing between customer sitting on chair number 1 to chair number 6, for clarity sake.

I will explain using the clues listed...
1. The entree orders are;
Fried eggs=F, Hamburger=Hb, Cheeseburger=C, Vegetable burger=V,
Soup=S, Ham sandwich=Hs.
and let the persons be;
P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6.

2. The P3 and P4 are having F and S. Its not clear who is having which yet.

4. One of P1, P2 and P3 is having Hb. Its not clear yet who is having the Hb.

5. P5=V(He is btw the person taking Fried eggs(P4) and cheeseburger(P6) since he is not P2)
Therefore, P4=F, P3=S and P6=C.

6. P1=Hb( Since he is not near P3, check explanation 4)

3. P2=Hs( since he is not sitting near the persons who ordered C and Hb)

Therefore,
P1=Hamburger
P2=Ham sandwich
P3=Soup
P4=Fried eggs
P5=Vegetables
P6=Cheeseburgers
