Logic Problem Solution:
Prank Phone Calls
By clue 4, Joe J. played Mr. Rogerson one day before making
the call about closing Rte. 175; while by clue 8, he did the
voice of Song Sung Wong one day before fooling Alice, and by
clue 10, he was Ed A. Ward one day before playing the radio
prank on Isabel. Therefore, neither Alice nor Isabel was the
victim of the Rte. 175 closing joke. By clue 1, neither Bob
nor Louis was the Rte. 175 closing victim; Warren was. He
then wasn't Monday's victim (4), nor was Alice (8), Isabel
(10), or Bob (11). Joe J. pulled his phone prank on Louis
on Monday. By clue 5, Joe J. didn't use his Song Sung Wong
or Ed A. Ward voice on Louis; so, by clues 8 and 10, the
radio personality used those voices on two of the days
Tuesday-Thursday. By clue 4, the Mr. Rogerson role wasn't
played on Friday. If Joe J. had used the Mr. Rogerson
character on either Wednesday or Thursday, he would have had
to have played either Song Sung Wong or Ed A. Ward the day
before (from what we found above) and he would have used
the Mr. Rogerson character on Alice (8) or Isabel (10)--no
(12). If Joe J. had pulled out the Mr. Rogerson voice on
Tuesday, then he would fooled Warren about Rte. 175 by being
Song Sung Wong--no (2)--or Ed A. Ward--also no (7). So,
Joe J. used Mr. Rogerson on Louis on Monday and tricked
Warren with the Rte. 175 closing on Tuesday. Joe J. didn't
portray Song Sung Wong (2) or Ed A. Ward (7) on Tuesday.
Since Joe J. didn't trick Louis with the gift goat prank
(14), by clue 9, Joe J. didn't use his favorite Irv Nusselbaum
impression on Warren. Joe J. played Grady Mullins on Tuesday.
Since Joe J. didn't play the prank on Alice (8) or Isabel (10)
on Wednesday, he got Bob that day. Then he made Bob his
victim with his Ed A. Ward act (8, 10, 11) and played Song
Sung Wong on Thursday. Joe J. saved Irv Nusselbaum for
Friday's prank phone call. Isabel was Thursday's (10) and
Alice Friday's victim. Isabel was the victim of the gift
goat routine (9). Joe J. didn't use the library book prank
(3) or pizza prank (6) on Bob, so Bob thought he had won a
big prize from Printer's Clearing House. Louis was the
pizza victim (13) and Alice the library book victim. Last
week's WSUM-FM Morning Wrecking Crew prank phone call victims
were
- Mon. -- Mr. Rogerson asked Louis for a different topping on every pizza slice
- Tue. -- Grady Mullins warned Warren that Rte. 175 would be closed for six months
- Wed. -- Ed A. Ward told Bob he had won "six figures" from Printer's Clearing House
- Thu. -- Song Sung Wong called Isabel to arrange delivery of her birthday goat
- Fri. -- Irv Nusselbaum informed Alice she owed $628.60 on an overdue library book
