When Mr. Boddy was approached with an idea for raising money for some local charities, he was all for it. On six consecutive weekends during the summer a Mystery Tour would occur at the Boddy Mansion. The six suspects would take a turn at being the victim and each would be "killed" by a different weapon. No room, including the Conservatory, would be the "scene of the crime" more than once and no "clue" (one is a letter) to aid the participants in solving the mystery would be used more than once.
The Mystery Tour turned out to be such a success that it may become an annual event! From the clues, can you reconstruct each weekend of the Mystery Tour?
1. Col. Mustard didn't participate the weekend the Mystery Tour took place in the Ballroom (which wasn't the room in which the weapon used was the candlestick, .
2. During the six weeks that the Mystery Tour ran, the key was a clue on a later occasion than when the rope was the weapon, which was used on a later occasion than when Mrs. White was the victim, which was on a later occasion than the weekend the crime was committed in the Library.
3. Neither Mr. Green (who was not the victim the weekend that an address book was a clue) nor the suspect who was 'dun-in' in with the knife was the victim the weekend that the scarf was a clue.
4. On four weekends, in order, but not necessarily consecutively, the Kitchen was the scene of the crime, Miss Scarlet was the victim, the lead pipe was the weapon, and a passport was the clue.
5. Neither Prof. Plum (who wasn't 'dun in' with the wrench) nor Mrs. Peacock were the victims the weekend the candlestick was the weapon.
6. The revolver (which wasn't the weapon used the weekend Miss Scarlet was the victim) wasn't used during the first weekend of the tour, but it was used on an earlier weekend than the weekend the scene of the crime was the Dining Room, which was on an earlier weekend than the weekend a locket was the clue.
7. The Library was not the scene of the crime during the first weekend of the Mystery Tour. The key wasn't the clue during the weekend that the lead pipe was the weapon.
8. Col. Mustard was the victim the weekend immediately after the weekend the crime of the scene was the Study (which wasn't on the second weekend), which was the weekend immediately after the weekend the knife was the weapon.

THE VICTIM | THE WEAPON | THE CLUE ITEM |
Because Fantasyworld Amusement Park is so vast, employees take a shuttle back and forth to the Park's food court during their lunch hours. Yesterday, the driver had a full load as all eight seats were occupied. From the driver's position, the seats are numbered (from front to back) 1, 3, 5, and 7 on one side, and 2, 4, 6, and 8 on the opposite side (1 opposite 2, 3 opposite 4, and so on).
After arriving at the food court, Fran and the other seven employees all sat at a large table together and it was discovered that each of them had recently downloaded a different Everett Kaser shareware game. From the clues, can you determine the seat in which each of the employees sat on the shuttle, what each had to eat (one person had a hamburger), and which Everett Kaser game each had recently downloaded from his site.
1. Neither Erik nor Judith had the chicken nuggets for lunch. Judith, who sat directly opposite the girl who downloaded Dinner with Moriarty, sat on the same side of the shuttle as the person who had the corn dog.
2. Jill (who didn't have the corn dog and who sat on the same side of the shuttle as two other girls) sat directly opposite Stuart on the trolley.
3. Sue didn't sit in either of the two seats at the very back of the shuttle, although Erik (who isn't the boy who downloaded Descartes Enigma) did sit in one of those two seats.
4. Paul sat on one side of the shuttle, immediately between the person who had chicken nuggets and the person who downloaded Descartes Enigma, and directly opposite Reg.
5. The person who downloaded Floyd's Bumpershoot sat directly opposite the person who had the hot dog for lunch.
6. Judith sat closer to the back of the shuttle, while the person who downloaded Sherlock sat closer to the driver (which was somewhere nearer the front of the trolley than the seat of the boy who ate pizza).
7. The person who downloaded Honeycomb Hotel isn't either of the two employees who sat at the very back of the shuttle. The person who downloaded Solitile didn't sit in seat 7.
8. Tacos were the food of choice for the person who sat immediately in front of the employee who downloaded Hero Defiant (who sat closer to the front of the shuttle than at least one other person).
9. The boy who downloaded Knarly Works and the person who had the cheeseburger for lunch sat immediately in front of and immediately behind the person who had the burrito, in that order.
