Geocache Description:

Geocache Safe

For information on how to solve logic puzzles, please refer to this solution example at http://www.puzzlersparadise.com/article1021.html

Five geocachers living in the same house hid their geoswag in individual safes, to which only they had the three-digit combination. From the clues given below, can you work out the three digits of each geocacher’s combination, all of which consisted of different combinations of the digits 0 to 4 inclusive.

Clues:

1. No digit occurs more than once in any geocacher’s combination, and each appears just once in each position.

2. To gain access to his safe Trustey has to begin by dialing a zero.

3. Neither Wise nor Loyell has a 3 in his combination of numbers.

4. Parfitt’s first digit is two higher than his third.

5. The geocacher whose first digit is a 2 does not follow it with a 3 when he goes to open his safe.

6. The third digit Sphinx has to dial is two lower than the second digit of Wise’s combination; the latter’s three digits read in ascending order, though they are not all consecutive.

7. Trustey’s second digit is higher than Sphinx’s first.
