Office Work
Logic-Grid
Logic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.Logic-Grid
Gwen, Stefan, Ian and Bob are typical miserable office workers, disliked by many, wasting time and always getting stuck in traffic. Your job (which I assure you is more exciting then theirs) is to figure out
How long they were stuck in traffic: 20 min, 45 min, 1 hour, 1 hour and a half
How many dirty looks they received: 3, 5, 9, 15
How much time they wasted: 20 min, 45 min, 1 hour, 3 hours
How was their wasted time spent: chatting online, playing with a magic eight ball, styling their nails, sleeping
Clues:
The person chatting online was wasting nine times as much time they were stuck in traffic.
The person who wasted 20 minutes was repeatedly shaking their magic eight ball.
Gwen received 5 dirty looks (and a couple of threats).
Bob wasted five times the amount of looks he received.
Stefan got a third of the number of dirty looks the person who was stuck in traffic for 90 minutes received.
Ian was stuck in traffic the least amount of time.
The person who slept wasted neither the most or least amount of time; the same applies with how long they were stuck in traffic.
Bob wasn't the one muttering to a black inanimate object. It was his male colleague who was stuck in traffic 30 minutes less than him.
