TASK #1 - Logic Puzzle
The International Enchantments Festival was held this year in Liverpool, England, and just about filled the town's finer hotels to capacity. Among the leading exhibitions were five new enchanted objects, each designed by a different person (including Prof. Kimil), each of which reputedly had a different capability. Unfortunately, each had a different type of breakdown during the demonstration of its skills. Can you discover, in order of exhibition, the names of the inventor and his or her charmed object, what each object could do, and a description of its breakdown?
1. The vase (which didn't explode) appeared sometime before the object that plays piano.
2. The object charmed to change a baby's diaper kept tipping over until the child's distraught parents called a stop to the show; this object isn't Prof. Lobiesk's creation.
3. Mr. Phantom's object (which is either the quill or the tripod) didn't appear third.
4. The object programmed to assemble Danish furniture (which didn't explode or run around in circles) appeared either first or fourth.
5. Prof. Black's object appeared sometime before the object that wouldn't move.
6. The frying pan and the object that plays piano are, in some order, the object that started to pour out smoke and the object that appeared second.
7. The tripod doesn't draw humorous caricatures.
8. The quill didn't appear just before the frying pan.
9. The object that wouldn't move wasn't programmed to assemble Danish furniture.
10. The frying pan appeared sometime before Prof. Mott's object.
11. The tripod appeared sometime after the object that prepares French cuisine.
12. Prof. Kimil's object appeared just before the boot.

Aaand that's it! Whoever managed to send in the first task should have their name in Tarma's post above, and only those 49 people are allowed to move on and submit the other two tasks.
The results for the first task can be found over HERE! I've copied this bit from our general spreadsheet but you won't get to see that one till the very end. *g*
And remember --- Tarma will post Task #2 for all of you later today, around 8 pm HOL time, so make sure you check this forum then!
Now, anyone interested in seeing the correct solution of the puzzle? Here it is, firstly submitted by Kadina Tigano.
QUOTE 1st - Prof. Lobiesk - Vase - french cuisine - runs in circles
2nd - Prof. Phantom - quill - pays piano - explodes
3rd - Prof. Black - tripod - diapers - tipping
4th - Prof. Kimil - frying pan pan - assembles furniture - smoking
5th - Prof. Mott - boot - draws caricatures - wouldn't move[/quote]

Points for Task #1 have now been submitted. If some of you wonder why they've got lower than they've planned to get, that's because points were awarded for CORRECTLY SOLVING THE PUZZLE! The time bonus points don't count toward getting more house points, they're only there to help us pick the champion(s).
So yes, please look at the spreadsheet for task 1 and divide your "Puzzle" Challenge Points by 2 (and round up to the bigger number if it's not an even fraction). That's the number of house points you've got. Points for task two will be submitted by Tarma AFTER the due date.
If there's anything gone wrong, let us know.
