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 #55 (published July 6, 1999)

4 boys have just each bought an ice-cream cone, each containing three scoops of ice. The ice-cream man only sells vanilla, strawberry and chocolate ice. Mike has twice as many scoops of chocolate as vanilla, and he loathes strawberry. Dave and Joe have the same number of vanilla scoops. The ice-cream man sold 3 strawberry scoops in all to the 4 boys. Will didn’t get vanilla. Joe didn’t get any of the 6 scoops of chocolate that were sold. Both Joe and Dave have strawberry, but Joe has more than Dave.

How many scoops of chocolate did Dave get?
