Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the given coordinates. The cache container is an unusual bison tube I won at a local caching event and am finally putting out into the field. Please remember to bring a pencil. 


Here is the logic puzzle:

Five geocachers decided to take a day off from caching and took their child to the Austin Zoo. At the end of the day, the children had lunch in the zoo cafeteria. While at the zoo, they visited the gift shop and every child was able to get a different souvenir. Determine the full name of each child, each child's lunch, favorite animal, and the souvenir for all five children using the clues below:

1. Wilma, who loves chicken, didn't like the tigers.
2. The child who got the puzzle liked the bears.
3. The North child almost got a hat with Rita but finally decided on a t-shirt.
4. Jim, whose last name isn't West, got an animal mask but didn't get a hamburger.
5. Liz, who didn't like the bears or the tigers, got a pennant.
6. Rita didn't get a hamburger.
7. Neither of the boys got grilled cheese, but one got hot dog and the other one liked the buffalo. Jim didn't get a t-shirt.
8. Bob Down, the girl who liked the lions, and the child who got the pennant all got a sunburn.
9. The East child had grilled cheese.

 




 

When you complete the puzzle, circle the numbers in the grid above for all of the correct answers. Then, select the correct logical statement below. Use the horizontal numbers in the correct logical statement to determine the correct coordinates.

If Bob likes lions, use Wilma, Jim, puzzle, giraffe, grilled cheese, and tacos.
If Liz likes lions, use Bob, Rita, animal mask, elephant, and monkey.
If Wilma likes lions, use Liz, pennant, t-shirt, lion, snake, and hot dog.
If Rita likes lions, use Liz, Jim, hat, bear, hamburger, and chicken.
If Jim likes lions, use Liz, hat, t-shirt, lion, hamburger, chicken, and hot dog.
