Logic Games

Alan wishes to rent a cottage on the beach for a week with some of his friends. At least two other couples must go to make the trip economically possible. Alan cannot find a cottage that sleeps more than Here are the couples who can go:
Sandy and Daniel; Freddy and Naomi; Jason and Vanessa; Charte and Chancey; Julio and Guty; Alex, Ian and Jen; Willavette and her sister; Matt and Shelley.

Rules: Sandy doesn't really like anyone else, except for perhaps Alex and Ian. Alan would like for Matt and Shelley to go, but Sandy says Shelley "makes her feel dirty." Sandy also doesn't like Willavette and her sister.
Daniel and Jen are bossy drama queens.
Charte and Chancey will not go unless Jason and Vanessa go.
If Freddy and Naomi go, Alejandro, Oliviah, and Brittney will go.
Jen still hasn't gotten over Daniel calling her a name which rhymes with "witch."
If Julio goes, he will break something, and they will have to forfeit the security deposit.
Jen will not go unless Alex and Ian go and she has someone to boss around. Alex is spineless and will not go unless people who wouldn't have gone anyway (Joey) go.
Ian will go.
Julio has lost his telephone twice between the time Alan started planning the trip and the due date and no one can get in touch with him.

(C) Alan and Trey; Freddy and Naomi; Jason and Vanessa; Charte and Chancey
(D) Alan and Trey; Freddy and Naomi; Charte and Chancey; Ian, Alex, and Jen.
(E) No one; Alan gets frustrated with the drama and drinks gin in the bathtub that week until he thinks he is at the beach.

2. If Jen comes, which of the following must be true?

I. Daniel and Jen design competing amusements to see whom they can control.

II. Sandy stays outside smoking and wondering sotto voce what is wrong with everyone.

III. Jen wants to eat in bad chain restaurants, while Daniel wants to cook so that he can impress everyone with his total Iron Chef-ness.

(A) I only
(B) II only
(C) III only
(D) I, II, and III
(E) I, II, and III, plus Daniel makes fun of Jen's swimsuit and she has a fit and wants to go home on Thursday.

3. If Willavette and her sister go, which of the following would be false?

(A) Sandy spends the week making grumbly noises under her breath.
(B) Willavette and her sister don't talk to anyone after the first day.
(C) Willavette and her sister didn't really want to go to the beach, but Freddy and Naomi talked them into it.
(D) Everyone scatters at mealtimes rather than deal with each other.
(E) Alan drinks gin all week and won't eat anything, claiming he gets his sustenance from "looking at my food long enough."

4. If Alex goes, which of the following must be true?

(A) He develops a new twitch from Jen and Alan making fun of him simultaneously.
(B) He develops several new twitches from Jen and Alan making fun of him simultaneously.
(C) He twitches so much he can't be seen in public.

5. If Daniel and Jen agree on something, what is it likely to be?

I. The accomodations that Alan has chosen are not luxurious enough; had they chosen the accomodations, they would have been at least four star.

II. The water smells bad, too.

III. They should have gone to Savannah instead where the beaches are better and Jen could have gone clubbing.

(A) II only

(B) II and III

(C) III only

(D) I, II, and III

(E) I, II, and III, plus they agree that Alan shouldn't drink so much gin.

1. (B). Jason and Vanessa are fighting again and don’t want to go anywhere. This means that Charte and Chauncy aren’t going to go out of “loyalty” Julio wanted to go but got drunk, forgot what week it was and shows up to leave the week after.

2. (E). Daniel told Jen she looked like a cow because he was drinking whiskey, against Sandy’s wishes. Jen took Alex and Ian camping on Cumberland Island, and so Daniel planned an impromptu camping trip on Cumberland, but Alan and Sandy refused to go because Alan is afraid of snakes and Sandy won’t go anywhere less developed than a Holiday Inn. Daniel’s impromptu camping trip was cut off when he shoplifted an inflatable vinyl crocodile from the Majik Market.

3. (D) is false. (A) and (E) would have happened no matter who went. Laziness makes everyone except Jen eat Daniel’s cooking, which also leads to him saying she’s fat.

4. (E) is true. (D) is a myth concocted by Jen.

5. (E). Daniel and Jen never agree on anything again.
