Puzzle This Out. THE DINNER PARTY

At the Browns’ party five married couples sat at dinner. There were, in addition to the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Robinson and Mr. and Mrs. White.,

No husband sat next to his wife. Brown sat next but one to Mrs. Jones. Mrs. White sat next to her sister. Robinson sat between two ladies: so did Smith. White sat next but one to Jones. Jones sat on the left of his father-in-law. Three of the ladies each sat between two men. Mrs. Robinson sat next but two to her husband. Mrs. White sat next but two to Mrs. Smith. Starting with Brown, arrange the ten diners clock-wise round the table. Answer to Yesterday’s Puzzle The three missed putts cost Snagg £32. The solution turns on the calculation of Goldstein’s lead at the 13th hole. It will be found that Goldstein must have been four up at the 13th, having lost the first, third and fourth, halved the second, fifth and tenth, and won the remainder. Hence he was six up at the 15th. Thus he won £2l on each of the last three holes (£63 on the three) whereas had Snagg won them, he (Goldstein) would, on these three holes, have been only £3l up.
