Spermatikos Logos #3

Howdy, folks! Due to the fact that I received no submissions for the Spermatikos Logos #2, it is obvious that I made a mistake. So I'll correct that mistake, and then you've got until June 14th to submit to me. [grin] Or I'll have to discipline you all thoroughly. So the one additional clue you should need for the Star Wars Logos is as follows:
7. The photographer was not dressed as Obi Wan Kenobi.

There you go. Finish your puzzles and hand them in, like good little children, and we'll give you some very nice prizes. And they're better than a gold sticker on the top of your page! Submissions are due on Monday June 14^th at 6:30pm, in the BLACK BOX, in the MathSoc office, or by email. Or else you can just lick my boot.

Answers to Logos #1

There were two submissions this week, from Duncan McGregor and Glen McMillan. Both entries were correct. So according to Matt's handy-yet-invisible two-sided die, the winner is Glen McMillan! You will receive a lovely C&D gift certificate. (Free food Mmmm!) And the runner up receives an honourable mention for having completed and submitted to me his solution to my evil (Eeevil, I tell you!) torture device. Otherwise known as a Logos. And for those of you who completed the Logos, but were too afraid to submit (or those of you who were close, but just gave up trying), here are the answers:

This Week's Puzzle:
Summer is Warm II - the Firemen

This puzzle's a challenge, but I know you're all up to it. And just to get your attention (if I haven't already), I'm gonna spice this challenge up a little. The prize this week will go to the person who is closest to the correct answer. In the case of a tie, the winner will be the person with the most interesting response to the following: Whodunnit?

A team of local firemen got together to raise money for charity. These hunks volunteered to shave their heads, after trying to grow their hair long for one month. Can you figure out each fireman's name, hair colour, achieved hair length, type of facial hair, the amount he collected for charity, and the order in which each person's head was shaved? (You may assume that the female firefighters did an alternative activity to raise money for charity.)

1. The six people are: Lister; the person with black hair; the person with both a moustache and a beard; the person who collected $35; the person whose hair is 11" long; and the third person to get their head shaved.
2. The blond fireman (who has no facial hair) was shaved immediately after the purple-haired fireman.
3. The person with blue hair collected $40, and was not shaved fifth.
4. The third-shortest hair is twice the length of the shortest hair (which is an even number).
5. All money collected is in multiples of $5, and each amount is unique. The total collected was $240.
6. The first two people shaved both had moustaches only.
7. Mike had his head shaved after the person with blue hair, who was shaved immediately after one of the two people with no facial hair.
8. The blond fireman has hair 4"longer than the fireman with purple hair.
9. The lowest amount of money collected (by the fireman with both the beard and moustache) is half the second-highest amount collected.
10. The fireman with red hair has both a moustache and beard.
11. The person who collected $60 had no facial hair, and did not have the longest hair.
12. Only one person has a beard but no moustache. This person had his head shaved before the brunette.
13. The person with 17" hair was shaved immediately before Dan, who was shaved before the person with only a beard.
14. Neither Chris nor Fred (who collected the least amount of money) has black hair.
15. The person with only a beard does not have blond hair.
16. The person with 15" hair collected more money than Rimmer, who collected $15 more than the person who was shaved last.
17. The highest amount of money collected is twice the second-lowest amount collected (which was not by the fireman shaved first).
18. Chris had longer hair than the second person shaved, whose hair was 3" longer than the redhead's.
19. The fireman with brown hair also had the shortest hair, and had no moustache.
20. The person whose head was shaved fifth had longer hair than both the person shaved immediately before him and the person shaved after him.
21. The second-longest hair is three times the length of the second-shortest hair, which is not red.
22. Chris collected $10 more than Rimmer. Neither of them have brown hair.
