    It has been a while since we had a forum competition, so I decided to host one :D It is a logic puzzle, but it is possible to participate with random guesses as well :p


    Background story:
    The ocean day event sure is a though one! The sea salt is dropping generously, but there are so much sea weed to be grown and so many plumes to be raised :sleepy: Some of the animals have decided to help out, they pair up in teams - one baha animal and one farm animal. Then they compete to see who can gather the most sea weed and plumes :) Your task is to figure out what the teams are, and how much they collected.

    • Baha animals: Camel, elephant, panda, monkey, sloth
    • Farm animals: Donkey, pig, sheep. goat. chameleon
    • Number of plumes collected: 50, 62, 75, 89, 90
    • Number of sea weeds harvested: 1200, 1300, 1500, 1600, 1900
    There will of course be clues (see below). We will use a chart to keep track of the information. I have filled out a couple of things already to get us started, and so that you see how it works:
    1. The camel gathers the fewest number of plumes.
    2. The sloth and the chameleon are teamed up.
    3. The goat gathers 1600 sea weed.
    4. The sheep's team mate – which is not the panda – does not gather 75 plumes.

    Here are the clues:
    1. The pig's team mate – which is not the elephant – gathers 62 plumes.
    2. In the alphabetical order, the baha animal with 1500 sea weed comes before the baha animal on the pig's team.
    3. The team which gathers 1300 sea weed also gathers 89 plumes. The elephant is not on this team.
    4. The panda's team gathers 1200 sea weed. This team gathers more than 75 plumes.

    To play you suggest pair that either belong together or don't. For instance camel & 50 green or sheep & 75 grey or something similar that I will understand ;) In the beginning you can only make one suggestion per post. I might increase it after a while, we will see how it goes.

    There is some very clear information in the clues, whoever gets it first will get the points. Later you will have to apply logic, or just guess :music: Edit: I will only confirm or deny a suggestion if it can be logically deduced. But all correct guesses will be credited in the end!

    Good luck everyone :D

    PS. There will be prizes, what I have not decided yet :music:

    Hi Arielh, labmommy and BlackCaviar :D

    Thank you for your guesses :) I see now that I should have specified the rules a bit more :oops:

    You are can make random guesses, but since this is a logic puzzle I will only say if something is right or wrong when it can be logically deduced.

    What does that mean? For now I will not say if your guess is right or wrong, but if it turns out later that you were right, you will get points :)

    Remember there are clues, some of them give very explicit information, you just have to claim it ;)

    1. The pig's team mate – which is not the elephant – gathers 62 plumes.
    2. In the alphabetical order, the baha animal with 1500 sea weed comes before the baha animal on the pig's team.
    3. The team which gathers 1300 sea weed also gathers 89 plumes. The elephant is not on this team.
    4. The panda's team gathers 1200 sea weed. This team gathers more than 75 plumes.

    I hope the rules make sense, if not, please ask :) And also, if your guess is not a guess but a deduction and I don't see it, please let me know :p

    I hope this will work, if not I will try to change something :oops:

    Edit: Please make new suggestions :D

    Both of you are correct :) Follows from the first clue.

    That is correct :)

    I can also confirm that Arielh is correct, it follows by combining the first and the forth clue, sorry for not seeing that before.

    Here is the updated chart:
