Card Players


Four friends sitting at a square table could not decide
which card game to play. One wanted to play bridge,
another canasta, another poker and the fourth cribbage.
The bridge player sat on Evelyn's left.
The canasta player sat across from Fred.
Geraldine and Harold sat next to each other.
A woman sat on the poker player's left.
Who wants to play cribbage?

Everyone showing careful logic and correct answers will be
allowed to stand on their head and crow like a rooster!

You can put a challenge question like this one on your school website.
It is free, changed frequently, and will add interest
and a reason to go to the school website more often.
This can be done by simply adding just one line of code.
