Here is today’s Brain Game; please say hello to Spinner.

Spinner has four appointments scheduled for different times and days next week; one Monday, one Tuesday, one Friday, and one Saturday. The times-of-day of these four appointments are (in no particular order) 10:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m., 9 a.m., and noon. Based on the following three clues, try to determine the day of the week and time of day for each of the four appointments on Spinner’s schedule. Good luck!

1. Monday’s appointment is scheduled to occur on the half-hour.

2. Tuesday’s appointment is scheduled for the morning.

3. Saturday’s appointment is scheduled exactly 1.5 hours earlier in the day than Friday’s appointment.

Here is the SOLUTION.

  1. Nice. I was looking at the clues at first, and was thinking there was no way that was enough information. But, thinking it through a little, and I managed to solve it without paper. And before my morning coffee even!

  6. Seemed too easy, but maybe because I wrote the times in military time… so the 1.5 hours and 2.5 hours time differences didn’t throw me off. I love it when I get one right!

  7. You can actually solve this with only clues 2 & 3.
