1. SAFOOTY Paints Unlimited, the town’s house painting service, has already been very busy this year. Already they’ve finished five houses, each completed with outbuildings such as sheds and garages. The houses were all located on different streets around town. But what was really unusual about them was that each house changed to a color that one of the other houses was having removed. WEDGIE, the owner of SAFOOTY Paints Unlimited, just shook his head at such a strange coincidence. It didn’t matter much to him what color he painted, as long as he got paid for the job. But some of his employees waited with interest when a new call came in, to see if the trend continued throughout the year. Determine the original color of each house, what street each house was on, the new color each house was painted, and the last name of the owners of each house.

1. The blue house was painted yellow. The Smith family didn’t live on Prescott Street.

2. The original brown house and the house that was painted brown were, in no particular order, the house on Prescott Street and the house that the Grant family owned.

3. The Wilson family didn’t live on a street that starts with an “S”. The Parker’s house was originally green. The house on Summer Street wasn’t painted green.

4. South Street was the address for the newly painted white house. The house on Prescott Street, which wasn’t a blue house, didn’t belong to the Jones family.

5. The Wilson’s house wasn’t blue, before or after painting. The original yellow house was not on Forest Street.

6. The Smith family home was originally white. The Parker family home was on Wood Street. The home of the Jones family was not on South Street.

2. While the northern regions are struggling with yet another snowstorm, the southern regions are gearing up for spring, and planting time. This week, four farmers planted seed in the first of their fields. As it happens, each farmer planted on a different day, in a different direction, and even planted a different crop. Determine the name of each farmer (one was Jack), what day each planted, the direction that each field lay from the farmer's house, and what type of grain each farmer planted.

1. Joe planted in the west field. The corn wasn’t planted on Tuesday.

2. The farmer who planted in the north field didn’t plant oats.

3. The farmer who planted in the south field planted wheat. Joe didn’t plant the corn.

1. Ralph doesn't work in marketing. Elliot didn't start before 8:30am. The finance person didn't start at 7am.

4. It's review time again at the SAFOOTY Widget Factory. Fortunately, it's been a profitable year and most everyone's getting raises. Based on their performance level, some employees got a very generous raise while others got just the average percentage. One department in particular had five high-performance employees who all got well over the average percentage. However, since everyone's salary was at a different level, getting a high percentage raise didn't necessarily mean that they were getting more money than their fellow employees. Determine the full name of these five people, the percentage salary raise of each employee, and how much money each raise represented.

1. Anne received a higher dollar amount but a lower percentage than the person who got an 8% raise. Lee, whose last name wasn't Krantz, didn't receive a 7% raise.

2. The employees who got a $4000, $4200, or $4500 salary increase were, in no particular order, Paula, Ms. Cary, and the employee who received a 5% raise.

3. The employee who got a 6% raise, got a $3600 salary increase. Harriet received $200 more than Ms. Krantz.

4. The employee who received a 9% raise got a smaller salary increase than what Ms. Cary received but a larger increase than what Ms. Fuller received.

5. Maureen received a higher salary increase than Ms. Needham, but she got a lower percentage raise than Ms. Settle.

6. Ms. Fuller did not receive the $3400 salary increase. Ms. Needham received a $4200 salary increase.

Harriet Needham - 5% - $4200
Lee Settle - 8% - $3400
Maureen Cary - 7% - $4500
Paula Krantz - 9% - $4000

Determine the full name of each driver in the race, the sponsor for each race car, and in what position each driver ended the race.
