I have always loved pantomime and whenever a show comes to town, I'm there! Over the past month, I have attended five different mime performances in five different theaters (one was the Palace). I also purchased a T-shirt, each of a different size, to give to my family. From the info provided, determine the theater, the mime group, as well as the size of shirt and for whom it was intended.
1. I bought an extra-small T-shirt at the performance by Pin Drop (who didn't perform at the Strand Theater). The T-shirt I bought at the Century Theater is exactly one size smaller than the one I bought at the Mime Time show.
2. The Eimac Theater is neither the theater where I saw Quiet Please nor the location where I bought a T-shirt for my niece.
3. The medium T-shirt isn't the one I bought for my cousin (which I didn't get at the Strand Theater), it is the one I bought for my son. The shirt I bought at the Strand Theater is exactly one size smaller than the one I bought at the Quiet Please show.
4. The large shirt (which I bought for my nephew) isn't the one I purchased at the Wind Walkers performance. The extra-large shirt isn't the one I bought at the Clancy Theater for my daughter.
5. The T-shirt I bought at the Silent Knight performance is larger than the one I bought at the Eimac Theater (which is neither the shirt I purchased for my cousin nor the one I got for my son).

Good one. Fun.
i liked this one
This one was a bit tougher... I enjoyed it thoroughly!
Your wording was difficult, particularly on clue 3. I wasn't sure if the part in parenthesis pertained to the fist half or second half.
Otherwise it was good
Otherwise it was good
i got the cousin and the daughter mixed up because clue 4 was worded funny to me.
it was fun otherwise.
it was fun otherwise.
I liked it! Had to use the hint, though.
well I used the hint, and I still messed up the locations of the events. i got confused somewhere along the way.
Enjoyed this puzzle. I shortcircuited some logic, however. After I determined that the son and nephew were not extra large, I figured that the daughter and niece couldn't be extra large. So I guessed extra large for the cousin. Just a small cheat.
Good teaser...thanks a bunch!
Lots of fun. Great job!
good one. Enjoyed it.
Hi
A good and challenging puzzle.
However, use of the word "pantomime" puzzled me.
It would appear we have a difference in terminology in the UK from that used in this puzzle; pantomime in the UK is usually a slapstick performance of a childrens' fairy tale, supposedly for children, but rather bawdy and as a result would go over the childrens' heads, and may be appreciated by their parents. The leading characters are traditionally played by an actor of the opposite gender, "the dame" is played by a middle aged male actor and the "leading boy" is played by a, usually glamorous, female actor. The roots of this go back hundreds of years. As you can see British pantomime bears no relation to "mime", that is acting without speech.
