    Default You think you're smart, try to solve this word problem

    Everything you need to solve the problem is within these paragraphs. My professor gave us the problem just like this so you have exactly what I had to work with.

    A music festival was held last week for 4 days, with 1 show each night at a different time between 8:30 and 8:50. Each of the 4 performers played their favorite instruments for 1 night only.

    Ted did not play the violin. The Thursday show started at 8:30, but Brett did not perform. Jason, who doesn't play the flute, starred in a time slot that was 5 minutes later than the person who played the piano. The Sunday show featured a flute. The 8:40 show was not the Friday show. Brett did not play the Saturday show. Dan played on Friday, but did not play the piano. The 8:50 show featured a guitar.

    Who played what and when?

    Thursday 8:30 - Ted plays piano
    Friday 8:50 - Jason plays guitar
    Saturday 8:40 - Dan plays violin
    Sunday - Brett plays flute.

    I can't figure out what time brett plays. 8:35 or 8:45

    And I could also be wrong about all of these.

    I hope you have the answer right answer nissantuner, if not expect a vacation.

    Jason, who doesn't play the flute, starred in a time slot that was 5 minutes later than the person who played the piano.

    so jason cant play the guitar because the guitar was played at 850 so jason doesnt play at 8:30 8:40 or 8:50 which are the other show times
