Logic Problem Solution:
The Substitute Teacher
By clue 5, Mrs. Wingit substituted in a 4th grade classroom on
Wednesday. By clue 1, Mrs. Wingit wasn't in the 2nd grade class on
Thursday or Friday; nor was she in a 5th grade room on those two days
(4). On Thursday and Friday, Mrs. Wingit subbed for the 1st and 3rd
grade teachers, or vice versa. By clue 9, the 3rd grade work wasn't
at either Riverhill or Winterharbor Elementary, so Mrs. Wingit was
at a school other than those two on at least of the two week-ending
days. By clue 1, Mrs. Wingit was at Winterharbor Elementary Wednesday
or later; and by clue 4, she subbed at Riverhill Wednesday or later.
However, since she had to have been at another school on Thursday or
Friday, she must have been at Riverhill or Winterharbor on Wednesday--
by clue 5, at Riverhill. So, Mrs. Wingit substituted at Riverhill
Elementary on Wednesday, for Mr. Gould on Tuesday, and in the 5th grade
on Monday (4). She was in a 2nd grade classroom on Tuesday (1). Since
the class she took at Winterharbor wasn't 3rd grade (9), she was in a
1st grade class there. In clue 1, then, for Mrs. Bingman to be the
teacher who was absent on Thursday, she would have to be the 3rd grade
teacher--no (6). Mrs. Bingman was out Wednesday. By clue 7, Mrs.
Wingit subbed for Miss Christie one day before being at Ocean City
Elementary. Since Mr. Gould isn't the teacher for whom Mrs. Wingit
worked at Ocean City (2), Mrs. Wingit was Miss Christie's stand-in on
Thursday and was at Ocean City Elementary on Friday. She was at
Winterharbor on Thursday (1) in 1st grade, and taught 3rd grade at
Ocean City. By clue 3, Mrs. Wingit replaced Mr. Tillis in 3rd grade
at Ocean City and Mrs. Parra in 5th grade--at Longreach Elementary
(8). Finally, Mrs. Wingit substituted at Sweetgum Elementary School
on Tuesday. Mrs. Wingit's schedule for the week was
- Monday, 5th grade, Longreach Elementary, Mrs. Parra
- Tuesday, 2nd grade, Sweetgum Elementary, Mr. Gould
- Wednesday, 4th grade, Riverhill Elementary, Mrs. Bingman
- Thursday, 1st grade, Winterharbor Elementary, Miss Christie
- Friday, 3rd grade, Ocean City Elementary, Mr. Tillis
