| Last Wednesday, going north on Bell Avenue, the Lunch-on-the-Go van stopped
consecutively at 1st through 5th Streets. At each stop, one of the van's
regular customers bought a different lunch item, with one ordering a Caesar
salad. Can you solve this tricky Brain Teaser by determining who bought
what at each street: the person's full name (one last name is Thompson),
where he or she works, the Lunch-on-the-Go menu item bought, and how much
that lunch cost?
- The prices paid by the five regulars went from a low of $4.00 to a
high of $6.00; no two paid the same amount for lunch.
- Jim spent $1.00 more for lunch at one stop than Ruland did at the next
stop, while Ruland's choice cost him $.50 more than the hamburger cost
another customer.
- At three consecutive stops first-to-last, Kevin bought his meal from the
van, the person who spent the second-most money purchased lunch, and the
one who works at Jill's Boutique bought a third item--the latter wasn't
at the 3rd Street stop.
- The person who met the van at 5th Street, who isn't Ian, didn't spend
the least for lunch.
- Neither Quivers nor Scholl is the regular customer who works at Truefit
Tires.
- Ian's meal cost $1.00 more than that of the Charter Accountants employee,
who spent $.50 more than the person who made the purchase on 4th Street.
- One street after one regular bought a taco, Lisa got her lunch from the
Lunch-on-the-Go van.
- The Seamless Software worker, who isn't Ian, isn't the one who made the
first purchase.
- The PCN Bank employee's lunch cost $1.00 more than that of Preston, who
isn't Michelle.
- Scholl's menu item cost $.50 less than the chicken barbecue bought by
another regular.
- The customer who bought the meatball sub didn't meet the van at 2nd
Street.
- The hamburger wasn't Kevin's selection.
