Logic Problem Solution: At the Farmers Market From the introduction, Sally Salada bought a different number of lbs., from 1-5, of each of the five items she purchased at the Meyersdale Farmers Market. By clue 1, three of the items that Sally bought are red lettuce, the fruit or vegetable she bought at the Raindrop Acres stand, and the one of which she purchased 1 lb. By clue 4, Sally bought more white potatoes than of what she picked at Freshly Fruit & Vegetables, so the white potatoes aren't the 1 lb. purchase in clue 1; and by clue 7, she didn't get the white potatoes at the Raindrop Acres stand. Therefore, the white potatoes are the fourth item purchased to the three in clue 1. Sally didn't buy the white potatoes (4), red lettuce, or fruit/vegetable of which she got 1 lb. (8) at the Freshly Fruits & Vegetables stand. Therefore, the purchase at the Freshly Fruits & Vegetables stand is the fifth to the four already named. By clue 3, Sally Salada made a 2 lb. purchase at Grow Bros. Produce. Since her purchase at Freshly Fruits & Vegetables was for more than 1 lb. (8), by clue 4, she bought at least 3 lbs. of white potatoes. So, Sally bought 2 lbs. of red lettuce at the Grow Bros. Produce stand. Her purchase of 5 lbs. of Granny Smith apples (5) wasn't at Freshly Fruits & Produce (4) and was at the Raindrop Acres stand. By clue 4, then, Sally bought 4 lbs. of white potatoes and 3 lbs. of food at Freshly Fruits & Produce's stand. The purchases of 1 and 3 lbs. were of blueberries and peaches or vice versa. By clue 2, therefore, Sally Salada got the white potatoes at the Tiller Gardens stand. By elimination, the 1 lb. purchase was at the Sunset Farm stand--of blueberries (6), with the peaches then the item bought at the Freshly Fruits & Produce stand. In sum, Sally Salada's Meyersdale Farmers Market purchases were
