Neighbours selling
Schulz, Lucky and Boba live in the same building and are selling a bicycle, a scooter and a skateboard, one item each. Boba lives on the ground floor. The skateboard is being sold by someone who lives higher than Lucky. The scooter is not Lucky’s. Who is selling what?
Answer: Schulz the skateboard, Lucky the bicycle, Boba the scooter. The skateboard is not Lucky’s (he does not live higher than himself) and not Boba’s (nobody lives below the ground floor). So it is Schulz’s. The scooter is not Lucky’s, so it is Boba’s, and Lucky is left with the bicycle.
