The people of Swartzwelderville are huge fans of the TV show "The Simpsons". Last summer, five of the city's most important people, each with a different surname, each chose one different episode from the show's twelfth season to be played at the local drive-in theater every two Sundays. The first of these episodes was shown on June 30, the next on July 14, and so on up to August 25. Here are some facts:
1. Neither Mr. Castellaneta nor Mr. Shearer is the one who chose "Trilogy of Error". "Worst Episode Ever", which attracted more viewers than any of the other four episodes, wasn't shown on August 11.
2. "HOMR", which wasn't the episode chosen by Mr. Azaria, was shown at some point after the episode chosen by Ms. Kavner.
3. The episode chosen by Mr. Castellaneta was shown at some point after the one chosen by the hospital director, but at some point before the one chosen by the police chief.
4. The episode chosen by Mr. Shearer was shown at some point before the one chosen by the superintendent of the school district, which was shown at some point before the one chosen by Ms. Kavner.
5. Mr. Castellaneta, who didn't choose "HOMR", isn't the superintendent.
6. "Hungry Hungry Homer", which wasn't the episode chosen by the mayor, was shown at some point before the episode chosen by the hospital director, which wasn't "Trilogy of Error".
The question is:
When was "Skinner's Sense of Snow" shown? When was the episode chosen my Ms. Cartwright shown? When was the one chosen by the fire chief shown?
