Congrats to Falach-fead on FTF and first-to-solve!
A group of 9 friends with very short and convenient names (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I) decide to exchange gifts with each other. They sit in alphabetical order at a long straight table, like this:
A B C D E F G H I
They place all their names in a hat. Starting with A, the hat is passed from person to person, each person taking out one random name. The name each person chooses will be the person that they give their "Secret Santa" gift to.
Here's what we know about the choices:
- Nobody picked their own name.
- Nobody is sitting beside a person that they will give a gift to.
- Nobody is giving a gift to the person who is giving a gift to them.
- F is giving a gift to someone sitting to their right. (Note: the view of the table above has C to A's right).
- There are 2 people sitting between D and the person D chose.
- C is siting beside the person who chose D and the person who chose G
- Someone chose a person who is 7 seats away from them (i.e. there are 7 seats between them)
- E chose the person who chose F
- There's 1 person sitting between A and the person A chose.
In what order were the names chosen? Enter your answer in the format BEA.CDF.IGH in the checker below. (That example would correspond to B chosen first, then E, then A, then C, and so on.)
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
