Cake Theft - Logic Puzzles
During a recent police investigation, Chief Inspector Stone was interviewing five local villains to try and identify who stole the prize cake from the mid-summers fayre. Below is a summary of their statements:
Alex: it wasn't Emery
it was Billie
Billie: it wasn't Charlie
it wasn't Emery
Charlie: it was Emery
it wasn't Alex
Dale: it was Charlie
it was Billie
Emery: it was Dale
it wasn't Alex
It was well known that each suspect told exactly one lie. Can you determine who stole the cake?

Clown Of The Year - Logic Puzzles
The four clowns in this puzzle all competed for the much-prized 'Clown of the Year' award recently. There were 30 clowns in total who entered the competition and each had to make the judges laugh.
From the clues below, can you work out each clown's name, the town he or she came from, what place each clown was awarded and the most comical moment of each clown's routine?
The Budsworth clown finished one place lower than Strumpy who is not from Witfield.
The judges roared with laughter as one clown cycled across a tightrope, wobbled, screamed and fell head first into a pool of water. He finished two places below Boo Boo who was not from Witfield.
The clown who finished in 7th place lost points when her big red nose fell off during her manic routine. This involved being hit with a giant rubber mallet by her assistant who was supposed to hit her on the shoulder but unfortunately had something in his eye at the time and accidentally hit her in the face instead.
Tambo was disappointed when his usually masterful custard pie antics failed to impress the judges sufficiently to secure the award. He was not the clown from Stockville whose final placing was lower than the Shrimpton clown.
Clowns : Boo Boo, Grego, Strumpy, Tambo
Towns : Budsworth, Shrimpton, Stockville, Witfield
Position : 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th
Routine : Custard Pie, Flower, Rubber Mallet, Unicycle
