| By clue 6, the 4th call was to take a fare to the Marrakesh. By clue 1, the
call for the trip to the Golden Dragon was at the earliest 3rd, as was the
fare to the K. C. Steakhouse (clue 4). Therefore, either the Golden Dragon
run was the 3rd and the K. C. Steakhouse fare the 5th or vice versa. If the
K. C. Steakhouse fare were 3rd and the Golden Dragon 5th, by clue 4, the 1st
cab would have been dispatched to River Way and the 2nd fare would have gone
to a City cab. Since the Triangle cab didn't pick up the fare at River Way
(7), by clue 1, the Triangle cab would have been the 3rd dispatched, with
the 4th fare then picked up on Hill Ave. By clue 3, the Purple cab would have
made the 4th and the American cab the 5th pickup. However, since the Elm
Ct. fare wasn't picked up by the American cab and wasn't taken to the K. C.
Steakhouse (8), there is no way for clue 5 to work. So, the 3rd fare was
taken to the Golden Dragon and the 5th to the K. C. Steakhouse, with the
1st fare going in a Triangle cab and the 2nd being picked up on Hill Ave. (1).
Since the Triangle cab didn't pick up the River Way fare (7), by clue 4, the
River Way fare went to the Golden Dragon and the City cab took the fare to
the Marrakesh. By clue 3, the 2nd dispatch was a Purple cab and the 3rd an
American cab. By elimination, the 5th fare rode in a New cab. Since by
clue 8 the Elm Ct. fare didn't go to the K. C. Steakhouse, the Elm Ct. fare
went to the Marrakesh and the Church St. dispatch was 1st (5). Then the
fare who went to the K. C. Steakhouse was picked up on Lake Blvd. By clue 2,
the Church St. fare went to the Dockside, with the 2nd fare going to the
Bangkok Delight. In sum, the first five dispatches were as follows:
- 1st - Triangle cab, Church St. to the Dockside
- 2nd - Purple cab, Hill Ave. to the Bangkok Delight
- 3rd - American cab, River Way to the Golden Dragon
- 4th - City cab, Elm Ct. to the Marrakesh
- 5th - New cab, Lake Blvd. to the K. C. Steakhouse
