Boat Club Boats – Logic Puzzles

At the local model boat club, four friends were talking about their boats.

There were a total of eight boats, two in each colour: red, green, blue, and yellow.

Each friend owned two boats, and no friend had two boats of the same colour.

Alex didn't have a yellow boat.
Billie didn't have a red boat, but did have a green one.
One of the friends had a yellow boat and a blue boat.
Another friend had a green boat and a blue boat.
Charlie had a yellow boat.
Drew had a blue boat, but didn't have a green one.
Can you work out which friends had which coloured boats?

Puzzle 808

This BrainBashers safe has a rather unusual control panel.

In order to open the safe, you have to press every single square once only, in the correct sequence, ending on the square marked E.

Each square indicates which square to press next, for example, 2U means move up 2 squares and 3R means move right 3 squares.

Can you determine which square you must start with?

Note: this puzzle is not interactive, and the safe buttons cannot be clicked.
