What Did Each Rent?
A family was vacationing at a lake. The family members were a sister, a brother, a mom, a dad, and a grandpa. The family each rented something to keep them busy during the trip. However though, everyone forgot what they each rented. Can you help them figure out what they each rented using these clues?
The vehicles were: a green bicycle, a red tandem, a blue motorbike, a red rowboat, and a yellow skateboard.
1. Dad wanted to do something by himself.
2. The rowboat can seat either two children, or one adult.
3. Sister rented something red.
4. Brother wanted to have his hands free.
5. Children are not allowed in the water unless an adult is with them.
6. Grandpa is tired, and won't do anything that involves moving his legs.
7. Mom is afraid of the water.
8. Mom and sister were planning to do something together.
9. None of the adults want to ride the blue motorbike.

I got a bit confused by the paddle boat. I thought grandpa would have to use his legs to get it to work.
I also thought you had to use your legs for a paddleboat, that it operates similar to a bike.
paddle boat or row boat?
paddle boats require your legs to work it and row boats your arms.

I agree a paddle boat would require leg movement.
Granpa could ride the on the tandem with sister peddling.
If Mom rode the green bike next to sis and Gramps, she would sitll be doing something with sis.
That leaves Dad on the paddle boat and brother on the skateboard.

You maybe should have put this under logic-grid, because it would have been a lot easier to solve with a grid solver.
The puzzle states that each person rented an item...that would imply that two people did not rent the same item. Kinda confusing...the hint was helpful but it contradicts the original puzzle.
