All right I was asked to help someone with this puzzle (for tutoring), it is an 8th grade math class, and I haven't been able to find out the answers, I keep getting stuck. I mean he says its just extra credit and all, but I feel stupid now that I cant figure the answer out and other 8th graders got it on the lock down... so If anyone is good with puzzles etc etc please take a whip at it Who eats Chestnuts? 1. At the north pole there are 5 houses, in which santa, elf, rudolf, frosty, and the grinch live. Each has a different food, drink, song and tree. 2. Elf has a Spruce Christmas Tree. 3. Santa eats fruit cake 4. Hot chocolate is drunk in the house that has the Cedar Christmas tree. 5. The grinch drinks apple cider 6. The house with the cedar tree is immediately to the right of the house with the artificial tree 7. The person who sings "O christmas tree" eats fruitcake. 8. "Jingle bells" is sung in the house with the fir tree 9. Christmas punch is drunnk in the middle house 10. Frosty lives in the first house on the left 11. The person who sings " Santa Clause is coming to town" lives in the house next to the person who eats candy canes 12. Jingle bells is sung in the house next to the house where apples are eaten 13. The "Deck the Halls" singer drinks tea 14. Rudolph sings the "Twelve days of Chrismas" 15. Frosty livese next to the house with the pine tree 16. The person who eats oranges drinks Christmas Punch 17. Who drinks the egg nog, and who eats chestnuts? Now match each person with the drink food, song and tree. Good luck, first one to finish gets added to my buddy list Thx
These puzzles annoy the hell out of me. Elf sucks chestnuts out of santa's ass while Rudolph watches how many holes he can have sex with in Frosty as the grinch goes and beats the hell out of the idiot who made this puzzle. Happy?
So do you know the answer because if you do not know how do you know if we post the correct or incorrect answer?
I dont have the answer. I mean if someone posts the wrong answer, You can just go through the puzzle and find out within a minute, so its not that hard. I mean it wont be that hard for any of us to figure out that this answer is wrong
No matter what the real answer to the puzzle is, this has got to be the best answer possible. Good One Fatty.
This took a while, but maybe it'll help get me back in "teaching mode" since I go back to work on Wednesday. Anyway, let me know if it's wrong, but I think I got it all right. It took a while, though. Santa eats fruitcake, drinks hot chocolate, sings "oh, xmas tree" and has a cedar tree. Elf eats chestnuts, drinks tea, sings "Deck the Halls," and has a spruce tree. Rudolph eats oranges, drinks Xmas Punch, sings "12 Days of Xmas," and has the artificial tree. Frosty eats candy canes, drinks egg nog, sings "Jingle Bells," and has a Fir Tree. Finally, the Grinch eats apples, drinks apple cider, sings "Santa Claus is coming to Town," and has a pine tree. Whew! Any questions? Who's on first??? What's on second??
Damn, that was nice. I checked it up all seems to match. Then again many of it just clicks in once you see an anwer One question who was in the middle and the last houses not sure where exaactly rudolph belongs... O yea what do you teach... and Thanks
Houses, left to right.... Frosty Grinch Rudolf Santa Elf That's how I have it going, anyway. And I teach 4th grade at a central Texas elementary school, just north of Austin. Kids come back on Wednesday, although I'm sure to be working to get stuff done between now and then. The puzzle took me a good 30 minutes or so, but mainly cuz I kept going back to check stuff, and forgetting how I "knew" certain options were eliminated. It's all about being systematic, and the fact that I teach a GT math class doesn't hurt, either. Teaching math for my 3rd year has just made me a better mathematician in general.
Took a while, but I got the same answer. From left to right, it's Frosty, Grinch, Rudolf, Santa, and Elf
i'll just third junglerules answer. trying to squish it all onto a small piece of paper wasn't a good idea but i finally got that answer.
From a math expert, I'm trying to figure out how this is a "math" question? It's a "pattern" question.
I got the same answer too, just a little late. It's not really a math problem but more of a logic problem. And logic kind of falls into the Math/Reasoning category. It also lays groundwork for Algebra in the future. If X=Y and Y=Z the X=Z.
