ANSWER to the PUZZLER: (ISSUE 12)

Puzzler:

Five construction supervisors, compared their day achievement results at the end of the day. From the information given below can you identify each team leader, number of workers, and number of units executed by each team?
  1. The team with the smallest number of workers executed the smallest number of units.
  2. The team of Mr. Ezz, which is not Team 3, had the best day results.
  3. Team 1, had 14 workers, and that is less than the number of workers in Mr. Ali's team.
  4. Team 2 did not have 18 workers, and did not execute 140 units.
  5. Team 5 of Mr. Joe, had more workers than Team 4, and executed less units than both Team 3 and Mr. Ali's team.
  6. Team 3 did not have 12 workers.
  7. The team of Eid had more workers than the team of Kan.

Who is the team leader, how may workers were in each team and how many units were executed by each team?

**************************

Answer:

Team 5 of Mr. Joe has executed less units than the team of Ali, the team of Ezz, and team 3, which means there are three better results. Also it did not execute the smallest number because that was executed by the team with 11 workers. Therefore Team 5, of Mr. Joe must have executed 127 units.

The team of Ali is not team 1 (clue 3), and is neither team 3 nor team 5 (clue 5). Remaining possibilities for Ali are either Team 2 or team 4. Also the team of Ali had either 18 or 20 workers (clue 3). Also team 3, did not have 11 workers because it did not execute the smallest number, since team 5 executed less units (clue 5). Also team 3 did not have 12 workers (clue 6), and it did not have 14 workers (clue 3). Remaining possibilities for team 3 are either 18 or 20 workers. Now the team of Ali can not be team 4, since team 5 had more workers than team 4 (clue 5), while the 18 and 20 are between Ali and team 3. Team 2 must be the team of Ali, and it did not have 18 workers, so it must had 20 workers. Team 2 did not execute 140 units, so it must have executed 134 units.  Team 3 must had 18 workers, and must have executed 140 units. Also team 5 must have had 12 workers. Team 4 must have had 11 workers and must have executed the 92 units.
