With six of us down at Bowness park the other day for some summer time picnic goodness, we encountered a little conundrum that for some reason I found highly, highly amusing, and conveiently could be framed like one of those infamous logic questions that you see on the LSATs and such:
Natrix, Obisidian, Kris, Melody, Starwing, and Rubin are interested in renting some boats for some summer time picnic goodness and fun at Bowness Park. The following conditions apply:
- A kayak can only seat one person
- A canoe can seat up to three people
- A paddle boat must seat two people
- Natrix prefers to be in a kayak, but can also be in a canoe; He refuses to be in a paddleboat
- Kris can be in a canoe or a paddleboat.
- Kris cannot be with Obsidian (his shins are at risk)
- Melody can be in any boat; she refuses to be alone with Kris
- Obsidian must be paired with Starwing or Natrix
- Rubin can be in a canoe or a paddle boat, but if he is in a canoe, he must be with someone who has experience with a canoe
If the Group rents one kayak, one canoe, and one paddleboat, who will be in each boat?

Natrix in kayak; Rubin, Melody, and Kris in canoe; Obsidian and Starwing in paddleboat. I win. :D
lol, that is HILARIOUS Rubin! Great job on this little LSAT question. :P
BUT...your last condition is flawed, because you do not reveal anyone's relative experience or non-experience with canoes! :O
Haha.... touché, Natrix, touché.
And congratulations Nyx! There may not be an actual prize, but you get the pride of being the first person to get it right, lol.
