II. The following logic problems are slightly more difficult than the ones in the previous exercise. See if you can solve the problems on your own, then discuss your solutions with a partner.
1. At a picnic, Mike went for soft drinks for Amy, Brian, Lisa, and Bill, as well as for himself. He brought back iced tea, grape juice, Diet Coke, Pepsi, and 7-Up.
Mike doesn’t like carbonated drinks.
Amy would drink either 7-Up or Pepsi.
Brian likes only sodas.
Lisa prefers the drink she would put lemon and sugar into.
Bill likes only clear drinks.
What drinks did Mike bring for each person?
2. Seth, Maria, Antoine, and JoBeth are college friends in the United States who plan to spend a semester abroad. They can study in China, Germany, Australia, Japan, England, or Canada. Seth is willing to go anywhere except Asia. Maria prefers not to go to a country south of the Equator. Antoine wants to study in either Europe or Australia. JoBeth doesn’t care where they go, as long as it’s not England. Which is the one country that satisfies all of these various preferences?
3. Five college students, Buck, Jennifer, Li, Ursula, and Tyler, are talking about what they should bring to Patrick’s party. Buck says he’ll bring chips or mixed nuts unless somebody else wants to bring a salty snack, in which case he’ll bring some soda. Jennifer says she’s allergic to nuts but would be happy to bring some pretzels if Buck wants to pick up some soda. Li says he’ll bring cookies unless somebody else brings a dessert, in which case he’ll bring some homemade dip. Ursula says if Li brings a dip, she’ll bring chips if nobody else does. Tyler says he’ll bring soda if nobody else does; otherwise, he’ll bring ice cream. If each of these students does what he or she says, what will each bring to the party?
