Everett recently completed a new game, based on Sherlock, which is played with cards. A cross between several popular games (can you detect them?), SherBits can be played with either a deck of 36 cards (expert) or 72 cards (challenging). The game board consists of the playing area in the center, on the left a completed game of Sherlock, and on the right a list of possible hands to make (flush, straight, full house, etc.) and their points. In the completed game on the left, each row across shows each object or character within a different colored frame, and hands can be made by using objects or characters only, color of frames only, or a combination of both.
Everett decided to test the game by passing out copies to five of his friends, all of whom enjoy games of logic. The next day he was contacted by each of the five individuals, including Margaret, who had just one word to say about the game, one of which was "Wonderful!" Each had played a different number of games (either 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9) and each had exactly one request to make (one person thought there should be more choices for backgrounds to the play area).
Determine, from the following clues, how many games was played by each individual, the one word expletive each had for the game, and each person's request to be included in the final version.
1. The person who thought the game "Dynamite" played one more game than the person who thought of a couple of different hands which could be formed.
2. The person who thought the game "Amazing" isn't the one who thought there should be more music selections.
3. Steve (who isn't the one who thought the game "Mindboggling") played one game more than the person who thought that one should have a third choice of decks, one consisting of 108 cards.
4. Philip (who isn't the one who thought the game "Amazing") isn't the one who suggested the colors of the 'frames' be brighter for better viewing.
5. Leah (who didn't play exactly seven games) played one more game than the person who thought the game "Mindboggling," who in turn, played one more game than the person who thought the game "Stupendous."
6. Brandon and the person who suggested brighter frames each played an even number of games.
7. The person who thought of a couple more choices of hands to make isn't the person who found the game "Mindboggling."
