KEVIN’S PUZZLES AT HOME
SEASON 6, EPISODE 4:
ANOTHER BASEBALL BAFFLER
Kevin recently found a childhood notebook in which he recorded the details of a series of baseball games he watched way back when.
From January 1 to January 29, Kevin watched 5 baseball games. 5 teams (the Aardvarks, the Badgers, the Cougars, the Deer, and the Elephants) played. Each team was the home team in one game and the visiting team in a different game. (No team ever played against itself.) Using the clues below, determine who was the home team and who was the visiting team on each date.
1. The home team on January 1 was the visiting team on January 29.
2. The home team on January 8 was not the visiting team on January 22.
3. The Elephants were the visiting team on January 15; their opponents were not the Cougars.
4. Neither the Cougars nor the Elephants were the home team on January 8, nor were the Deer the visiting team on that date.
5. The Aardvarks were the home team exactly three weeks before the Deer were the home team.
1. The home team on January 1 was the visiting team on January 29.
2. The home team on January 8 was not the visiting team on January 22.
3. The Elephants were the visiting team on January 15; their opponents were not the Cougars.
4. Neither the Cougars nor the Elephants were the home team on January 8, nor were the Deer the visiting team on that date.
5. The Aardvarks were the home team exactly three weeks before the Deer were the home team.
