NerdBird's Riddle Archive

Every weekend a new logic riddle is published here (please forgive me, if real life now and then forces me to delay the publishing) and old riddles are moved to the archive. Every riddle has been constructed and tested by me, but still I won't guarantee that they "work". Never mind, go ahead and try!

Riddle #36 (published January 19, 1999)

The guy with the broken finger did not arrive Monday. James has a broken leg. Jonathan spends time listening to music. John arrived Wednesday. The guy with the broken ankle arrived Tuesday. The guy with the broken nose doesn't spend time writing letters. The guy who arrived Saturday is not killing time by learning French. The guy who enjoys reading novels arrived Monday.
